Question

according to the blueprint, the floor area of the stage in the new auditorium at your college must be rectangular and equal to 1200 square feet. The width of the stagr is key to all of the theatre priductions. therefore, in this situation, the stages depth is a function of its width.

Answer 1

the correct answer d=1200
`d=1200/w`

Explanation:

Answer 2

`d = (1200)/(w)`

Explanation:

According to the blueprint, the floor area of the stage in the new auditorium at my college must be rectangular and equal to 1200 sq. feet.

If the width of the stage is w feet and depth of the stage is equal to d feet, then being a rectangle, we can write

`d * w = 1200`

Therefore, the equation that represents the depth d as a function of width w is given by
`d = (1200)/(w)` (Answer)
