The floor of a shed given on the right has an area of 52 square feet. The floor is in the shape of a rectangle whose length is 5 feet less than twice the width. Find the length and the width of the floor of the shed.

13/2 feet width  and 8 feet length

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that the area of a rectangle is as follows:

ar = l * w

we know that the value of the area is 52 ft ^ 2, therefore:

l * w = 52

According to the statement we have to:

x = width

2 * x - 5 = length

we replace in the area formula and we have to:

x * (2 * x - 5) = 52

We solve and we are left with:

2 * x ^ 2 - 5 * x - 52 = 0

Factoring the above we are left with:

(2 * x - 13) * (x + 4) = 0

(x + 4) = 0, it means that x = -4, a negative number, therefore this option cannot be.

2 * x - 13 = 0

x = 2/13, would be the width

the length:

2 * x - 5 = 2 * (2/13) - 5 = 8

What the measurements mean is 13/2 feet width  and 8 feet length

step-by-step explanation:

all group life insurance is term insurance. actually it is annual renewable term and it is rated on the average age and claims experience of the entire group, which is called "experience rating." remember, this type of insurance has a 31-day grace period and is convertible to whole life upon leaving employment. a contributory group plan requires that both the employer and the employees pay part of the premium. at least 75% of those eligible must participate, so the group is sure to get most of the healthy employees as well as those that are sick.
