The length of a rectangle is 2 ft longer than its width.
If the perimeter of the rectangle is 56 ft, find its length and width.

Answers

Answer 1

Hi! I'm happy to help!

To solve this, we first need to look at the perimeter equation:

P=2L+2W

We don't know our length, so we can represent it with x. Since our width is 2 feet shorter than x, we can represent it with x-2. Now, we plug these values into our equation:

56=2x+(2(x-2))

Let's simplify what the width is by multiplying:

56=2x+2x-4

Now, let's combine our 2xs

56=4x-4

Now, we just need to solve for x in order to find our length and width.

First, we need to isolate x on one side of the equation. We can do this by adding 4 to both sides:

56=4x-4

+4      +4

60=4x

Now, all we have to do is divide both sides by 4 and x will be fully isolated:

60=4x

÷4  ÷4

15=x

Now that we know x, let's plug this into our previous equations:

L=x=15

L=15

W=x-2=15-2=13

W=13

To verify our answers, we can plug this into our perimeter equation:

56=2(15)+2(13)

56=30+36

56=56

After double checking our answers, we know that our length is 15 and our width is 13.

I hope this was helpful, keep learning! :D

Answers

Answer:

£ [tex]36[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

In this situation, the price of an item is (£ [tex]45[/tex]). It is given that there is a ([tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex]) off discount on this item. To find the price of this item, one will have to subtract the discount rate from (1), this will yield the fraction of the object price that one has to pay. To find the actual amount one has to pay, one must multiply the fractional price of the object by the original price of the object. Using this line of thought, one can form the following equation:

[tex](1-(rate\ of\ discount))(original\ price)=sale\ price[/tex]

Substitute the given values into this equation:

[tex](1-\frac{1}{5})(45)=sale\ price[/tex]

Simplify: remember, a fraction with any number over itself equals (1). Bear in mind that one can only perform operations such as addition and subtraction between fractions with common denominators, that is the number under the fraction bar.

[tex](1-\frac{1}{5})(45)=sale\ price[/tex]

[tex](\frac{5}{5}-\frac{1}{5})(45)=sale\ price[/tex]

[tex](\frac{5-1}{5})(45)=sale\ price[/tex]

[tex](\frac{4}{5})(45)=sale\ price[/tex]

Now perform the multiplication. Divide the denominator by the number one is multiplying by, then multiply it by the numerator (number over the fraction bar).

[tex](\frac{4}{5})(45)=sale\ price[/tex]

[tex](4)(45 / 5)=sale\ price[/tex]

[tex](4)(9)=sale\ price[/tex]

[tex]36=sale\ price[/tex]

Answer:

The answer is 36$

Step-by-step explanation:

Basically, the original price is 45 dollars, but with the extra 20% off (This is just the 1/5 off) it will be 36. This is because 45/5 equals 9 and 45-9 is 36.

Y= 0.5x + 2 showing on the graph



Answers

Answer:

Y is output, x is input

Step-by-step explanation:

I. Given x is -1, 0, 1

II. Perform x in linear equation

           If x is -1

             y = 0.5(-1) + 2

             y = 1.5  

            => (-1, 1.5) -1 is x, 1.5 is y

            If x is 0

               y = 0.5(0) + 2

               y = 2

              => (0, 2) 0 is x, 2 is y

            If x is 1

                y = 0.5(1) + 2

                y = 2.5

               => (1, 2.5) 1 is x, 2.5 is y

III. Perform (x, y) in graph, there will be something like this

i) Are the sides of ∠MPX equal to the sides of ∠NPY ?

ii) what is the special about the postion of P on MN

Answers

Answer:

i) yes

ii) it splits MN in half (bisector)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that MX and NY are parallel. This means, due to alternate interior angles, <XMN and <YNM are congruent as well as <MXY and <NYX. We are also given MX = NY. This is enough information to prove ΔMPX is congruent to ΔNPY due to ASA(two angles and a side between them).

(i) Now, because of this, we can say that all the sides of ΔMPX are congruent to those of ΔNPY. And, this means MP = NP. Since the point P divides the segment MN into two equal pieces, it's a bisector of MN(splits it in half).

Answer:

Below.

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) Over the first 5 seconds rate of change of speed

= (9-1)/5

= 8/5

= 1.6m/s^2

(b) (21-9)/16-t) = 2

12/16-t = 2

32 - 2t = 12

32 - 12 = 2t

20 = 2t

t = 10 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Total Time Taken = 16secs

10a). We're asked to calculate the rate of speed change for the first 5secs.

This is another way of saying "Calculate Acceleration" in the first 5sec of Motion.

Why?

Acceleration is the rate of change of speed or the rate at which speed changes.

acceleration = v - u/t

where v = Final Speed

u = initial Speed.

Looking at the graph

You see that

Initial speed(u) = 1m/s

Final Speed(v) = 9m/s

t = 5secs

Acceleration = 9 - 1/ 5

a = 8/5

a = 1.6m/s².✅

10b)

We're asked to calc "t" from the graph.

Given that the acceleration at "t" untill 16sec(end of motion) is 2m/s².

This simply means that Constant Acceleration was held from "t" to the end of the Motion.

Do not confuse Constant Acceleration for Constant Velocity.

At Constant Velocity... Acceleration is zero(0)

At Constant Acceleration...Velocity Changes Uniformly or at the same rate each second and this is what we're dealing with in this question.

Taking the same step as we used in calculating acceleration above

Given a= 2m/s²

a = v - u/∆t

Where ∆t means time change or difference.

From "t" to 16

The change in time is 16 - "t"

2 = 21 - 9/( 16 - t)

2 = 12/16-t

16-t = 12/2

16 - t = 6

t = 16 - 6

t = 10secs.✅

Have a great Day!.

Calculate the diameter of a

Answers

Answer:

12 cm squared

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Since diameter is twice the radius and what we know is the area, you would divide the area, 113.1 cm, by Pi (3.14):

113.1 cm / 3.14 = 36.00084813

2. What you get is the radius which you have to square:

36.00084813 squared = 6.000070677

3. Now you double the radius in order to get the diameter:

6.000070677 x 2 = 12.00014135
