The length of a rectangle is three times its width the length is 3 3/4 feet. What is the area if the rectangle?

Roman55 [17]

Answer:

A = 4 11/16 or 4.6875

Step-by-step explanation:

3 3/4 = 3W

divide both sides by 3

15/4 divided by 3 = W

15/4 x 1/3 = W

5/4 = W

A = L x W

3 3/4 x 1 1/4 = 15/4 x 5/4 = 75/16 = 4 11/16

Write and solve the system of linear equations described by the application and then answer the question. One hundred sixty feet

Lena [83]

Answer:

80 ft x 40 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'L' be the length of the longer side and 'W' be the length of the shorter side (or the width).

The equations that compose the linear system are:

$L+2W=160\\L=2W$

Solving the system:

$L+L=160\\L=80\\W=\frac{L}{2}\\W=40$

The garden is a rectangle with dimensions 80 ft x 40 ft.
