Answer:
First, we know that the area of a rectangle of width W and length L is:
A = W*L
In the case of Roberto's plan, we can see that the length of the whole rectangle is:
L = 1.5ft + x + 1.5ft = 3 ft + x
And the width is:
W = 3ft + x + 3ft = 6ft + x
Then the area of the whole thing is:
A = (3ft + x)*(6ft + x)
This is what we wanted, a product of two polynomials that represents the area of Roberto's plot.
Now if we subtract the white square (is a square of sidelength x, then its area is A = x*x) we will get the area of the border;
The total area of Roberto's borders is:
Area of the border = (3ft + x)*(6ft + x) - x*x
= 3ft*6ft + 3ft*x + x*6ft + x^2 - x^2
= x*9ft + 18ft^2
Zoe to Hannah is 3 to 7.
We want to know x.
24 to x
three goes into 24 eight times so multiply 7 by eight
x=56

Answer:
y = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
You will get the same value for y whether you approach the problem by making corresponding angles equal, or by making corresponding sides equal. The equation for the sides takes less work to solve.
2y -3 = y +5
y = 8 . . . . . . . . add 3-y to both sides
_____
<em>Check</em>
This value of y makes the angles ...
(6y -5)° = (6·8 -5)° = 43°
(4y +11)° = (4·8 +11)° = 43°
Corresponding angles and the side between them have the same measures, so the triangles are congruent by ASA.
