Answer 1

1. Area equation 2. equation relating base and width. you got it

Answer 2

I am looking for the answer

Answer 3

338 = 2x + x
338 = 3x
\[\frac{338}{3}=x\]
\[w = \frac{338}{3}\]
\[l = \frac{676}{3}\]

Answer 4

so w=112.666 and l = 225.333, correct?

Answer 5

If you're an engineer, I suppose.

Answer 6

this is for ALG. II, it is a pain in the a$$

Answer 7

AGL

Answer 8

Well, the fractions are more correct, because they are more exacting.

Answer 9

but, most maths teachers tell you to round, because most math teachers are idiots.

Answer 10

that is so very true. so w=112.0, and l=225.0, lol

Answer 11

:) if you need to round, yes

Answer 12

I have never been very good at all with word problems, they always screw me up.
