A rectangular classroom has an area of 300 square feet. The length of the classroom is 5 feet longer than the width, w. Create an equation in terms of w to model this situation. Then, rewrite the equation in standard form and use the quadratic formula to solve for w.

w^2 + 5w = 300

Step-by-step explanation:

A= length x width

A =300

Width = w

length = w + 5

Therefore

300 = (w) x (w + 5)

300 = w^2 + 5w

w^2 + 5w = 300

50 min

step-by-step explanation:

they will be decreasing both their times in half

60 / 2 = 30

40/2 = 20

30 + 20 = 50

d. millimeters per hour.

step-by-step explanation:

we are given that,

carlo used a rain gauge to measure the amount of water his lawn is receiving from the sprinklers.

since, according to the options, we see that,

water cannot be measured by 'miles per hour', 'meters per second' and 'grams per seconds'.

we get that, the water can be measured by 'millimeters per hour'.

hence, the appropriate rate for describing the amount of water is 'millimeters per hour'.
