The dimensions of the rectangle are: b=9.65 cm and h=4.35 cm or b=4.35 cm and h= 9.65 cm.

<h3>Quadrilaterals</h3>

There are different types of quadrilaterals, for example, square, rectangle, rhombus, trapezoid, and parallelogram.  Each type is defined accordingly to its length of sides and angles. For example, in a rectangle,  the opposite sides are equal and parallel and their interior angles are equal to 90°.

The area of a rectangle is equal to base x height (A=bh). The perimeter of a geometric figure is the sum of its sides. Thus, for a rectangle, the perimeter is 2b+2h.

<h3>System of Linear Equations</h3>

System of linear equations is the given term math for two or more equations with the same variables. The solution of these equations represents the point at which the lines intersect.

The question gives:

Perimeter=28cm

Area= 42 cm²

If the perimeter is the sum of all sides of the rectangle, you have:

Perimeter= 2b+2h=28

If the area of the rectangle is 42cm², you have:

Area=bh=42 cm²

You can write a system of linear equations.

2b+2h=28 (1)

bh=42 (2)

From equation 2, you have  b=\frac{42}{h}. Then, you can replace it in equation 1.

2*\frac{42}{h}+2h=28 \\ \\ 84+2h^2=28h\\ \\ 2h^2-28h+84=0 \; dividing\; by\; 2\\ \\ h^2-14h+42=0

Now, you should solve the quadratic equation.

h_{1,\:2}=\frac{-\left(-14\right)\pm \sqrt{\left(-14\right)^2-4\cdot \:1\cdot \:42}}{2\cdot \:1}

h_{1,\:2}=\frac{-\left(-14\right)\pm \:2\sqrt{7}}{2\cdot \:1}

h_1=\frac{-\left(-14\right)+2\sqrt{7}}{2\cdot \:1}=7+\sqrt{7}=9.65 cm

h_2=\frac{-\left(-14\right)-2\sqrt{7}}{2\cdot \:1}=7-\sqrt{7}=4.35cm

If h1=9.65 cm, then b_1=\frac{42}{9.65} =4.35 cm, and if  h2=4.35 cm, then b_1=\frac{42}{4.35} =9.65 cm.

A newspaper editor starts a retirement savings plan in which $225 per month is deposited at the beginning of each month into an
qwelly [4]

Answer: the value of this investment after 20 years is $112295.2

Step-by-step explanation:

We would apply the formula for determining future value involving deposits at constant intervals. It is expressed as

S = R[{(1 + r)^n - 1)}/r][1 + r]

Where

S represents the future value of the investment.

R represents the regular payments made(could be weekly, monthly)

r = represents interest rate/number of interval payments.

n represents the total number of payments made.

From the information given,

Since there are 12 months in a year, then

r = 0.066/12 = 0.0055

n = 12 × 20 = 240

R = $225

Therefore,

S = 225[{(1 + 0.0055)^240 - 1)}/0.0055][1 + 0.0055]

S = 225[{(1.0055)^240 - 1)}/0.0055][1.0055]

S = 225[{(3.73 - 1)}/0.0055][1.0055]

S = 225[{(2.73)}/0.0055][1.0055]

S = 225[496.36][1.0055]

S = $112295.2

Point q is the image of Q(5, -3) after a translation down 2 units and right 4 units. What are the coordinates of Q?
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

<em>(9,-5)</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

When you go down, the number will decrease. The vertical position is the Y axis. -3-2=5.

When you go right, the number will increase. The horizontal position is the X axis. 5+4=9

<em>(9,-5)</em>
