The length of a rectangle is 4 feet shorter than its width. the area of the rectangle is 42 square feet. find the length and width. round your answer to the nearest tenth of a foot

Length is feets and width is equal to feets.

The area of a two-dimensional region, form, or planar lamina in the plane is the quantity that expresses its extent.

A quadrilateral having four right angles is known as a rectangle.

Let feets denotes width of a rectangle.

Length of a rectangle feets

Area of a rectangle square feet

Length Width

As dimension can not be negative, is rejected.

So,

    feets

Length

            feets

So, length is feets and width is equal to feets.

the answer is c. 23/3

let's add {f(x)=x+1}f(x)=x+1 and {g(x)=2x}g(x)=2x together to make a new function.

f(x)+g(x) =(x+1)+(2x)=x+1+2x=3x+1

let's call this new function hh. so we have:

{h(x)}={f(x)}+{g(x)}{=3x+1}h(x)=f(x)+g(x)=3x+1

we can also evaluate combined functions for particular inputs. let's evaluate function hh above for x=2x=2. below are two ways of doing this.

method 1: substitute x=2x=2 into the combined function hh.

h(x)

h(2)

​    

=3x+1

=3(2)+1

=7

​ since h(x)=f(x)+g(x)h(x)=f(x)+g(x), we can also find h(2)h(2) by finding f(2) +g(2)f(2)+g(2).

first, let's find f(2)f(2):

f(x)

f(2)

​    

=x+1

=2+1

=3

​  

now, let's find g(2)g(2):

g(x)

g(2)

​    

=2x

=2⋅2

=4

​  

so f(2)+g(2)=3+4=\greend7f(2)+g(2)=3+4=7.

notice that substituting x =2x=2 directly into function hh and finding f(2) + g(2)f(2)+g(2) gave us the same answer!
