Answer:

<h2>length = 14 cm</h2><h2>width = 3 cm</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2l + 2w

where

l is the length

w is the width

From the question

Perimeter = 34 cm

The statement

The length of a rectangle is 8 cm longer than twice the width is written as

l = 8 + 2w

Substitute this expression into the above formula and solve for the width

That's

34 = 2( 8 + 2w) + 2w

34 = 16 + 4w + 2w

6w = 18

Divide both sides by 6

w = 3

Substitute this value into l = 8 + 2w

That's

l = 8 + 2(3)

= 8 + 6

l = 14

The dimensions are

length = 14 cm

width = 3 cm

Hope this helps you

two ferries start moving toward each other from opposite riverbanks, a and b. when they pass each other for the first time, the
Usimov [2.4K]

Let 'x' be the distance from THE far bank   where 700 is the distance to the NEAR bank

boat one has travelled 700    (rate = 700/unit time)         boat two has travelled   x    rate = x / unit time

boat one then travels   x  + 400  more      and boat two travels   700 + (700+x -400) more    when they meet

The time is the same      rate x time = distance      distance/rate = time     equate the distances divided by the respective rates

(700 + x + 400)/700     =    (  x  +  700     +  (700+x-400) )/x

1100x + x^2 = 1400x + 700000

x^2-300x -700000 = 0                         quadratic formula yields  x = 1000  

One boat travels 700   the other   1000 whe they first meet.....width of river =   700+ 1000 = 1700 m
