Elenor and max used two rectangular wooden boards to make a set for the school play. one board was 6 feet long, and the other was 5-1/2 feel long. the two boards has equal widths. the total area of the set was 60-3/8 square feet. what was the width?

The width is 5.25 feets

Step-by-step explanation:

The dimensions of the two rectangular wooden boards that Elenor and Max used to make a set for the school play are shown in the attached photo. The widths of the two boards are equal. The lengths are 6 feets and 51/2 feets

Area of each rectangular length, L × Width, W

Area of the longer rectangular board

= 6x W = 6W feet^2

Area of the shorter rectangular board

= 11/2 x W = 11W/2 feet^2

The area of the set is 60-3/8 square feet. This is equal to 483/8 feet^2.

Therefore,

483/8 = 6W + 11W/2 = 23W/2

8 × 23W = 483 × 2

184W = 966

W = 966/184 = 5.25 feets

3 ft

step-by-step explanation:

since the triangle is right use pythagoras' identity to solve for a

the square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other two sides, that is

a² + 8² = ( )²

a² + 64 = 73 ( subtract 64 from both sides )

a² = 9 ( take the square root of both sides )

a = = 3

gregory's graph is incorrect because it shows 2 inches of growth for each week when it should show 0.75 inches of growth each week.
