Answer:

Let the Width(W) =X feet

then Length(L) = (2X-3)feet

Area of the rectangle (A)=77 square feet

A = L× W

L×W=A

(2X-3) × X = 77

2X²- 3X =77

2X²-3X -77=0

Solving it using the factorization method

2X²-14X+11X-77=0

(2X²-14X)+(11X-77)=0

2X(X-7) + 11(X-7)=0

(2X+11)(X-7) =0

When 2X+11=0

X= -11/2

When X-7=0

X = 7

Therefore X= 7

Width = X feet

= 7feet

The width is 7feet

Length = (2X-3)feet

= (2×7) -3)feet

=(14-3)feet

=11feet

Find and simplify an expression for the area of three rows of m squares with side lengths of m centimeters. Please help
Anna [14]

Answer:

3m²

Step-by-step explanation:

A square is quadrilateral (four sides) in which all sides are equal. Also, opposite sides are parallel to one another and all the four angles in a square are 90 degrees each.

The area of a square is given as:

Area = length * length

Given that the square has side lengths of m centimeters, therefore:

The area of each square = m cm × m cm = m² cm²

There are three rows of m squares, hence the total number of square is:

Total square = 3 rows * m squares per row = 3m squares

The total area of the square = area of each square * total number of square = m² * 3m = 3m² cm²
