Answer:

5000m^2

Step-by-step explanation:

width = w

length = 2w

perimeter: 2(w) + 2(2w) = 300

2w + 4w = 300

6w = 300

width = w = 50

width*2 = length

length = l = 100

Hence,

Length =  2w = 100 m

Width = w = 50 m

Area = l*w = 100*50 = 5000m^2

Answer:

<em>5,000 square feet</em>

<u>Skills Needed: 2-D Geometry</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1) First, it says that 300 ft is the total amount of wire used to build the rectangular plot. This means that 300 is the perimeter of the plot. It is the length of the entire boundary of the shape.

---> The formula for perimeter is: 2(l+w) for a rectangle.

2) We can use the perimeter formula to the find the length and width, and then use the area formula to find the area. Area is the total amount of space taken up by the figure in 2 dimensions.

---> Area formula is: l*w for a rectangle

3) We are given that the length is 2 times as much as (or twice as much as) the width.

---> l=2w

Using perimeter formula:

2(l+w) = 300 \\ 2(2w+w) = 300 \\ 2(3w) = 300 \\ 6w = 300\\ w = 50

We substitute in for length and then solve for width as shown above.

Given the width, we can solve for length using the fact that length is twice the width.  

l=2w \\ l=2*50 \\ l=100

We use substitution to solve for length.

4) Now given length is 100, and with is 50, we can use the area formula.

A = l*w=100*50=5000

This means the area is 5000 square feet.

Volume (denoted 'V') of a sphere with a known radius (denoted 'r') can be calculated using the formula below:

V = 4/3(PI*r3)

In plain english the volume of a sphere can be calculated by taking four-thirds of the product of radius (r) cubed and PI.

You can approximated PI using: 3.14159. If the number you are given for the radius does not have a lot of digits you may use a shorter approximation. If the radius you are given has a lot of digits then you may need to use a longer approximation.

Here is a step-by-step case that illustrates how to find the volume of a sphere with a radius of 5 meters. We'll u

How does 5x + 15 = 45 <br> HELP PLZ
likoan [24]

Answer:

When finding these problems we always have to do the opposite of the operation shown.

In this case its:

5x + 15 = 45

Subtract 15 from both sides (we start off with constants and numbers that are being shown) The reason why its subtraction is because since your adding 15 to 5x the opposite of that is subtraction so use the number shown by itself and subtract it from both sides.

5x = 30

Divide by 5 on both sides since the opposite of 5x is division (only use the number that is shown) We have to get rid of all the numbers on the left.

therefore you'll be left with:

X = 6
