The length of a rectangle is 4 inches more than its width. If 2 inches are taken from the length and added to the width, the figure becomes a square with an area of 272.25 sq inches. If the width of the rectangle is x, what is the length of the rectangle in terms of x?

L = W+4 (the length is 4 inches more than length (given))

.

L-2 (if 2 inches are taken from L) and added to the width (W+2) the figure becomes a square.

A square has 4 equal sides.

L-2 = W+2

.

We are told the area of the square is 272.25.

(L-2)(X+2) = 272.25

.

Substituting from L = W+4

(l+4 -2)(w+ 2) = 272.25

(w+2)(w+2) = 272.25

.

Taking the square root

(W+2) = sqrt(272.25) = 16.5

.

Subtracting 2 from both sides

W = 12

and

L = W+4 = 16

.

Is the length 4 more than width? Yes.

If you subtract 2 from length and add 2 to width, and then multiply them, is the result 272.25? Yes.

Done. kindlyrecheck=)

sry if something's wrong ^_^

the answer is 200

step-by-step explanation:

the way the question is worded, it seems to imply the $264 interest is simple interest, not compound interest.

the simple interest for 2 years is $264; the simple interest for 1 year is $132.

$132 interest on a $600 investment means an interest rate of (132/600)*100 = 22%.

the value of $200 at 22% interest compounded annually for three years is

200%281.22%29%5e3

the amount of interest is that value, minus the original $200.

students group

step-by-step explanation:

a person who   joins a party or a seminar can explain his feelings about that particular occasion better more than anyone else.

as bella managed a show for the students in the school and invited students to watch that show

hence

students group will be the best group to survey to find this information
