Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
y = -4x + 7
perp. 1/4
y - 3 = 1/4(x + 8)
y - 3 = 1/4x + 2
y = 1/4x + 5
Answer:
6 mm and 9 mm are the dimensions of the piece of plastic.
Step-by-step explanation:
Keep in mind the formulas for the area and perimeter of a rectangle:
A = lw
P = 2 (l + w)
List the factors of 54:
1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 27, 54
POSSIBLE DIMENSIONS of the piece of plastic:
1 mm and 54 mm:
Area - 54 mm^2
Perimeter - 110 mm
2 mm and 27 mm
Area - 54 mm^2
Perimeter - 58 mm
3 mm and 18 mm
Area - 54 mm^2
Perimeter - 42 mm
6 mm and 9 mm
Area - 54 mm^2
Perimeter - 30 mm
The rectangular piece of plastic with the dimensions 6mm and 9 mm corresponds with the area and perimeter of the piece of plastic mentioned. So these are the correct dimensions.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
18
Step-by-step explanation:
Remark
This is one of those questions that can throw you. The problem is that do you include the original rectangle or not. The way it is written it sounds like you shouldn't
However if you don't the question gives you 2 complex answers. (answers with the sqrt( - 1) in them.
Solution
Let the width = x
Let the length = x + 5
Area of the rectangle: L * w = x * (x + 5)
Area of the smaller squares (there are 2)
Area = 2*s^2
x = s
Area = 2 * x^2
Area of the larger squares = 2 * (x+5)^2
Total Area
x*(x + 5) + 2x^2 + 2(x + 5)^2 = 120 Expand
x^2 + 5x + 2x^2 + 2(x^2 + 10x + 25) = 120 Remove the brackets
x^2 + 5x + 2x^2 + 2x^2 + 20x + 50 = 120 collect the like terms on the left
5x^2 + 25x + 50 = 120 Subtract 120 from both sides.
5x^2 + 25x - 70 = 0 Divide through by 5
x^2 + 5x - 14 = 0 Factor
(x + 7)(x - 2) = 0 x + 7 has no meaning
x - 2 = 0
x = 2
Perimeter
P = 2*w + 2*L
w = 2
L = 2 + 5
L = 7
P = 2*2 + 2 * 7
P = 4 + 14
P = 18
