Answer 1

@hekaphage could you maybe help with this one? thank youu!

Answer 2

see if breadth is x then length is 1.2x..so
length * breadth = 811.2
solve for x

Answer 3

im confused how would I solve for x? @rishavraj

Answer 4

so it would be
\[x \times 1.2x ~=~ 811.2\]

Answer 5

@macabbey101 can u solve the above equation??

Answer 6

im confused. I tried solving and the closest I got to 811 was 973. What would the equation be?

Answer 7

see one side is 1.2 times the other ..so if one side is "x" the other is 1.2x...
and area of rectangle is length*breadth..
given area is 811.2,....
so
\[x ~\times~ 1.2x ~=~811.2\]

Answer 8

so it would be
\[1.2x^2 ~=~811.2\]
\[x^2~=~\frac{ 811.2 }{ 1.2 }\]
now proceed

Answer 9

i got 26 and -26

Answer 10

see somewhere I am going wrong with this

Answer 11

so -26 is ignored coz length cant be negative ..so one side is 26...the other is supposed to be 1.2 times of 26

Answer 12

so its D?

Answer 13

-_-
\[26 \times 1.2 ~=~ 31.2\]

Answer 14

oh oh okay so its A im sorry I get it now I was adding 26 by 26 lol

Answer 15

Thank you!
