Lawn Dimensions 929A9E
1. **State the problem:** We have multiple lawn sections with given algebraic dimensions and know their areas are equal. We need to find the dimensions of each section.
2. **Identify the shapes and their areas:**
- Triangle with base $3x - 7$ and height $2x - 4$. Area formula: $$\text{Area} = \frac{b \times h}{2}$$
- Rectangle with sides $4xw$ and $x - 1$. Area formula: $$\text{Area} = \text{length} \times \text{width}$$
- Another rectangle with sides $(y - 1)$ and $(2x - 9)$. Area formula: $$\text{Area} = (y - 1)(2x - 9)$$
- Rectangle with side $3x - 9$ (only one side given, so assume square or missing info; we will use given equalities).
3. **Write expressions for each area:**
- Triangle area: $$A_1 = \frac{(3x - 7)(2x - 4)}{2}$$
- Rectangle 1 area: $$A_2 = 4xw (x - 1)$$
- Rectangle 2 area: $$A_3 = (y - 1)(2x - 9)$$
- Rectangle 3 area: $$A_4 = (3x - 9) \times \text{(missing side)}$$ (Assuming equal to others, we focus on given equalities.)
4. **Set areas equal:** Since the problem states all areas are equal, set $A_1 = A_2 = A_3$.
5. **Simplify $A_1$:**
$$A_1 = \frac{(3x - 7)(2x - 4)}{2} = \frac{6x^2 - 12x - 14x + 28}{2} = \frac{6x^2 - 26x + 28}{2} = 3x^2 - 13x + 14$$
6. **Express $A_2$:**
$$A_2 = 4xw (x - 1) = 4xw x - 4xw = 4x^2 w - 4x w$$
7. **Express $A_3$:**
$$A_3 = (y - 1)(2x - 9) = 2xy - 9y - 2x + 9$$
8. **Set $A_1 = A_2$:**
$$3x^2 - 13x + 14 = 4x^2 w - 4x w$$
9. **Set $A_1 = A_3$:**
$$3x^2 - 13x + 14 = 2xy - 9y - 2x + 9$$
10. **Solve for $w$ from $A_1 = A_2$:**
Group terms:
$$4x^2 w - 4x w = 3x^2 - 13x + 14$$
Factor $w$:
$$w(4x^2 - 4x) = 3x^2 - 13x + 14$$
$$w = \frac{3x^2 - 13x + 14}{4x^2 - 4x}$$
11. **Solve for $y$ from $A_1 = A_3$:**
Rearranged:
$$2xy - 9y = 3x^2 - 13x + 14 + 2x - 9$$
$$y(2x - 9) = 3x^2 - 11x + 5$$
$$y = \frac{3x^2 - 11x + 5}{2x - 9}$$
12. **Summary:**
- Base and height of triangle: $3x - 7$, $2x - 4$
- Rectangle 1 sides: $4x w$, $x - 1$ with $$w = \frac{3x^2 - 13x + 14}{4x^2 - 4x}$$
- Rectangle 2 sides: $y - 1$, $2x - 9$ with $$y = \frac{3x^2 - 11x + 5}{2x - 9}$$
These expressions give the dimensions of each section in terms of $x$.
**Final answer:**
$$\boxed{\text{Dimensions depend on } x:\quad w = \frac{3x^2 - 13x + 14}{4x^2 - 4x}, \quad y = \frac{3x^2 - 11x + 5}{2x - 9}}$$
