Christa has a rectangular rug in her living room that is 6 feet wide and 8 feet long.
she decides that the rug is too small for the room, so she orders a new one that
covers twice as much area. if the new rug is 1.5 times as wide as the original rug,
how long , in feet, is the new rug?

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

answer:

x - 3

discussion:

x^2 - 9 = (x-3) (x+3)   so

(x^2-9)/ (x + 3) = x-3

step-by-step explanation:

divided 3/4 and 6

so the possibilities of the measurement of the side of the triangle are either it is longest side or not the longest side

when it is the longest side

s < 25 + 35s < 60

if it is not the longest side

35 < 25 + s10 < sso 10 < s < 60so the perimeter70 < p < 130
