Question

Can anyone help pls two more

Answer 1

Answer:

I'll explain below, just follow the directions. I can't directly draw it.

Step-by-step explanation:

find the length and the width of a rectangle whose perimeter is 18 ft

2L + 2W = 18

simplify, divide by 2

L + W = 9

L = (9-W)

:

whose area is 20 square feet

L*W = 20

Replace L with (9-W)

 

W(9-W) = 20

-W^2 + 9W - 20 = 0

Multiply by -1, easier to factor

W^2 - 9W + 20

Factors to

(W-4)(W-5) = 0

Two solutions

W = 4 ft is width, then 5 ft is the Length

and

W = 5 ft is the width, then 4 ft
