Arectangular tabletop has a length of 4 3/4 feet and an area 11 7/8 square. what is the width of the tabletop

The Width of the piece of the  rectangular table top  is 2.5 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the square = sq feet

The length of the square =   ft

Let the width of the tabletop =  W feet

Now, AREA OF THE RECTANGULAR TABLETOP = LENGTH x WIDTH

or, 11.875  sq. feet  = 4.75 ft x W ft

⇒ 11.875 = 4.75 x W

or,

or, W = 2. 50  ft

Hence, the width of the piece of the rectangular table top  is 2.5 ft.

none of the above.

for one of the equations to be used in the process, there has to be a term in the equation since squared is .

since there is only a term in the first equation, we cannot derive a from completing the square.

solving with completing the square

it has the same slope and a different y-intercept

hope this : )
