Answer:
Ah yes rsm.
Anyways, AB is parallel to DE so 72= angle BDE. So BDE+2x+2x=180
72+4x=180
108=4x
x=27
204204 - 16 = 204188
204188 / 4 = 51,047
width = 51,047
length = 51,055
72 cups (US Gallons)
1 gallon = 19.215 cups.
Using the area of a rectangle, it is found that her patio should have a width of 12 feet and a length of 27 feet.
<h3>What is the area of a rectangle?</h3>
The area of a rectangle of length l and width w is given by:
A = lw.
In this problem:
- She has enough tiles to cover 324 square feet, hence A = 324.
- She wants the length of the patio to be 15 feet longer than the width, hence l = 15 + w.
Thus:
324 = w(15 + w)
w^2 + 15w - 324 = 0
w = -27 or w = 12.
We take the positive value, hence l = 15 + w = 15 + 12 = 27 feet.
The dimensions should be a width of 12 feet and a length of 27 feet.
