Answer:

Length: 5 ft; width: 4 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

A = LW     formula for area of rectangle

(2x + 1)(2x) = 20      substitute length, width, and area into formula

4x² + 2x - 20 = 0      use the distributive property to multiply out left side

2x² + x - 10 = 0         divide both sides of equation by 2

(2x + 5)(x - 2) = 0        factor out trinomial

2x + 5 = 0  or  x - 2 = 0        use zero product rule to solve for x

2x = -5  or x = 2       subtract 5 from both sides; add 2 to both sides

x = -5/2  or  x = 2

We discard x = -5/2 since it would give negative length and width, and the length and width cannot be negative.

Length: 2x + 1 = 2(2) + 1 = 5

Width: 2x = 2(2) = 4

Length: 5 ft; width: 4 ft.

zloy xaker [14]
We have that

smaller figure
ha=8.7
ra=1.6

larger figure
hb=10.44
rb=1.92

ha/hb=8.7/10.44----> 0.83
ra/rb=1.6/1.92-------> 0.83
ratio smaller figure to the larger figure
1.6/1.92-------> divided by 1.6 both members[1.6/1.6]/[1.92/1.6]-------> 1/1.2

the ratio ha/hb is equal to the ratio ra/rb
so
the smaller figure and the larger figure are similar
and
the ratio smaller figure to the larger figure is equal to---->  1/1.2

the answer is
the option yes 1/1.2

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Based on the information, it can be inferred that payment option A means a payment of $450, while option B means a payment of $300.

<h3>How much money does each payment option receive?</h3>

The payment options contemplated by the employer are distributed as follows:

Option A

  • First week: $200
  • Second week: $200 + $50 = $250
  • Third week: $250 + $50 = $300
  • Fourth week: $300 + $50 = $350
  • Fifth week: $350 + $50 = $400
  • Sixth week: $400 + $50 = $450

Option B

  • First week: $200
  • Second week: $220
  • Third week: $240
  • Fourth week: $260
  • Fifth week: $280
  • Sixth week: $300

Note: This question is incomplete because there is some information missing. Here is the missing information:

Complete the tables to show how much money would be received for both payment options, each week, for 6 weeks.
