4 rectangular strips of wood, each 30 cm long and 3 cm wide, are arranged to form the outer section4 rectangular strips of wood, each 30 cm long and 3 cm wide, are arranged to form the outer section of a picture frame. Determine the area inside the wooden frame.
Area inside forms a square, with a length of 30 - 3 - 3 = 24. We subtract 3 twice, because we account for 2 rectangular strips with a width of 3.
Area of a square is side * side. So we have 24 * 24 = [B]576cm^2[/B]
A 7 by 5 photo was enlarged. The length and width were enlarged 125%. Find the perimeter of the photA 7 by 5 photo was enlarged. The length and width were enlarged 125%. Find the perimeter of the photo.
Enlarge length 125%: 7 * 1.25 = 8.75
Enlarge width 125%: 5 * 1.25 = 6.25
Perimeter of the enlarged photo is 2l + 2w, so we have:
P = 2(8.75) + 2(6.25)
P = 17.5 + 12.5
P = [B]30[/B]
A bag of fertilizer covers 300 square feet of lawn. Find how many bags of fertilizer should be purchA bag of fertilizer covers 300 square feet of lawn. Find how many bags of fertilizer should be purchased to cover a rectangular lawn 290 feet by 150 feet.
The area of a rectangle is length * width, so we have:

A = 43,500 sq ft.
Now, to find the number of bags needed for a 300 square feet per bag of fertilizer, we have:
Bags Needed = Total Square Feet of Lawn / Square Feet covered per bag
Bags Needed = 43,500 / 300

Whoa... stop screaming with those capital letters! But I digress...
The perimeter of a rectangle is:
P = 2l + 2w
We're given two equations:
[LIST=1]
[*]P = 196
[*]l = 6w
[/LIST]
Plug these into the perimeter formula:
2(6w) + 2w = 196
12w + 2w = 196
[URL='https://www.mathcelebrity.com/1unk.php?num=12w%2B2w%3D196&pl=Solve']Plugging this equation into our search engine[/URL], we get:
[B]w = 14[/B]
Now we put w = 14 into equation (2) above:
l = 6(14)
[B]l = 84
[/B]
So our length (l), width (w) of the rectangle is (l, w) = [B](84, 14)
[/B]
Let's check our work by plugging this into the perimeter formula:
2(84) + 2(14) ? 196

We know the rectangle has the following formulas:
Area = lw
Perimeter = 2l + 2w
Given an area of 238 and a perimeter of 62, we have:
[LIST=1]
[*]lw = 238
[*]2(l + w) = 62
[/LIST]
Divide each side of (1) by w:
l = 238/w
Substitute this into (2):
2(238/w + w) = 62
Divide each side by 2:
238/w + w = 31
Multiply each side by w:
238w/w + w^2 = 31w
Simplify:
238 + w^2 = 31w
Subtract 31w from each side:
w^2 - 31w + 238 = 0

We take the lower amount as our width and the higher amount as our length:

Sean is helping his dad build a tiled walkway in their backyard. The walkway will be 606060 feet lonI assume you want to know how many tiles or how many boxes of tile they need? I'll do both:

60/2 = [B]30 tiles[/B] needed to cover the full walkway.
Now, each box contains 6 tiles, which means we need 30 tiles/6 tiles per box = [B]5 boxes of tiles[/B]
The dimensions of a rectangle are 30 cm and 18 cm. When its length decreased by x cm and its width iThe dimensions of a rectangle are 30 cm and 18 cm. When its length decreased
by x cm and its width is increased by x cm, its area is increased by 35 sq. cm.
a. Express the new length and the new width in terms of x.
b. Express the new area of the rectangle in terms of x.
c. Find the value of x.
Calculate the current area. Using our [URL='https://www.mathcelebrity.com/rectangle.php?l=30&w=18&a=&p=&pl=Calculate+Rectangle']rectangle calculator with length = 30 and width = 18[/URL], we get:

Multiplying through and simplifying, we get:
540 - 18x + 30x - x^2 = 575

A flag is a rectangle shape. So we have the following equations
Since P = 2l + 2w, we have 2l + 2w = 60
l = 7w - 2
Substitute Equation 1 into Equation 2:
