When the length of a rectangle with a width of 1/6 foot was increased by 2/3 foot, the area of the rectangle became 11/72 square feet. find the original length of the rectangle. explain your reasoning.

1/4 is the original length

Step-by-step explanation:

The original length of the rectangle is 11/72 square feet. To get the area of a rectangle, you multiply the length x width.

You already know the width in this problem. The width is 1/6 feet. So, divide the area (11/72 feet) by the width (1/6 feet) to get the length, 11/12 feet.

However, the original length was increased by 2/3 feet. So, take our new length (11/12 feet) and subtract the increased length (2/3 feet) from it. When you do that, you get 1/4 feet.

Therefore, the answer is 1/4 feet. Hope this helps! :)

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.

(-5,-28)
