Jackson is building a small rectangular basketball section in his backyard. The length of the section will be 1.25 times the width of the section. Part A (2 POINTS) Create an equation to represent the area of the basketball section, A, in terms of the width, w. Part B (5 POINTS) Jackson decides to make the area of the basketball section 245 square feet. What are the dimensions, in feet, of the basketball section?

Part A)

Part B) Length: 17.5 feet and Width: 14 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A) Create an equation to represent the area of the basketball section A, in terms of the width W.

Let

L ----> the length of the  rectangular basketball section

W ---> the width of the  rectangular basketball section

we know that

The area of the rectangular basketball section is equal to

----> equation A

The length of the section will be 1.25 times the width of the section

so

----> equation B

substitute equation B in equation A

Part B) Jackson decides to make the area of the basketball section 245 square feet. What are the dimensions, in feet, of the basketball section?

we have

so

solve for W

Find the value of L

substitute the value of W in the equation B

therefore

The dimensions are :

Length: 17.5 feet

Width: 14 feet

the final amount you will pay is $68.04.

the tip is determined by the pre-tax amount, so we calculate the tip based on the original bill, not after we've added sales tax.

to find the tip:

we can divide 54.00 by 100 to get 1% of 54. then we multiply that by 18.

54 / 100 = .54

.54 x 18 = 9.72

tip = 9.72$

to find the tax:

we can divide 54.00 by 100 to get 1% of 54. then we can multiply that by 8 to get 8%.

54 / 100 = .54

.54 x 8 = 4.32

tax= 4.32

now we can add the tip and tax to the bill to get our total.

54 + 9.72 + 4.32 = 68.04

total: $68.04
