The area of a rectangle is obtained through the equation,
A = L x W
The width of the yard is 4 ft less than the length and may be expressed as L - 4. Length may be solved through the following steps,
A = (L)(L-4) ; 96 = L(L - 4) ; L = 12 ft
The length and width are 12 ft and 8 ft, respectively. Perimeter may be solved through the equation,
P = 2 x (L + W)
Substituting the values of L and W
P = 2 x ( 12 ft + 8 ft) = 40 ft
Therefore, the perimeter of the yard is 40 ft.
Mary is incorrect. Perimeter is not proportional to area. An example which you can use is garden A is an 8 by 1 rectangle. The perimeter is 18 while the area is 8. Graden B is a 4 by 4 square. The perimeter is 16 (less than garden A) while the area is 16 (two times more than garden B).
Answer:
the formula used gives surface area instead of volume
I believe I answered your other question like this.
Just write the equation like:
x^2 - 3/4 x - 5 and follow the same process that I listed out before
12 because 24 is the diameter and the radius is half the diameter
