Square A and rectangle B have the same width. The length of rectangle B is 4 cm greater than its width. The area of rectangle B is 20 cm greater than the area of square ASet up an equation and solve it to find the area of square A.

-Thanks! :D

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: Noting that square A is a square, this is what we have:
A = B
A^2 = B x (B + 4) + 20

I can try subbing in A to B
since A = B:

A^2 = A x (A + 4) + 20
20 = A^2 - (A x (A + 4))
20 = A^2 - (A^2 + 4A)
20 = 4A
A = 5

By the way, A is width of square A and B is the width of rectangle B in my solution,

Area of 52 square feet width of 6.5 feet what is the length

Answers

Answer:

8 feet

Step-by-step explanation:We know the area is 52 feet and the width is 6.5 feet, and area is length x width = area, and we know length x 6.5 = 52.

So if we do 52/6.5 is the length and 52/6.5 is 8.

Answer:

8 ft

Step-by-step explanation:  

all you have to do is divide the total area by the quantity you already have

so 52/6.5=8

WHAT IS 24 DIVIDED BY 48 WITH WORK PLEASE

Answers

So,

(24)/(48)

Write in prime factored form.
(2*2*2*3)/(2*2*2*2*3)

Cross-cancel
(1)/(2)
24 divided by 48 equals to 1/2.

In the other way, 48 divided by 24 is 2.

But the answer to your question is 1/2.

How do I solve this. I don't know how to find volume.

You might have to check on this but i think you multiply all those numbers and divide by 2
Volume is the base times the width times the height. So essentially, it would be V=12x20x8, which is 1920cm cubed.
