The length and width of the rectangle are 18 in and 1 in, respectively.

<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 can be found for the formula : b*h, where b = base and h =height.

For this question, the length exceeds its width by 17 inches - L=W+17. Here, the length is the base and the width is the height. Thus,  from the value of area given, you can find the values of the length and width of the rectangle.

A=b*h

18=(W+17)*W

18=W²+17W

W²+17W-18=0

Solving this quadratic equation, you have:

w_{1,\:2}=\frac{-17\pm \sqrt{17^2-4\cdot \:1\cdot \left(-18\right)}}{2\cdot \:1}

w_{1,\:2}=\frac{-17\pm \:19}{2\cdot \:1}

w1=1 and w2= -18

For dimensions, only positive numbers must be used. Then, the width is equal to 1 inch.

As, the area (l*w) is 18 in², see.

18=l*w

18=l*1

l=18 in

Find a Cartesian equation for the curve and identify it. r=8tanxsecx
ANTONII [103]
R = 8 tan(x) sec(x)

In order to solve this, we are going to use the following:
r = sqrt(x^2 + y^2) //but in this case, we don't need this.
tan(x) = Y / X
X = r cos(x)
Y = r sin(x)

<span>(r cos x)^2 = 8(r sin x)</span>

x^2 = 8y

Select all the statements that are true for the graph shown.
Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

The relationship is proportional.

The relationship is linear.

The equation of the line is y = –3x.

Step-by-step explanation:

The line in the question passes through origin and (4,-12).

The rate of change of the line is

m=\dfrac{-12-0}{4-0}\\\Rightarrow m=\dfrac{-12}{4}\\\Rightarrow m=-3

The rate of change of the line or slope of the line is -3

Equation of the line is given by

(y-0)=-3(x-0)\\\Rightarrow y=-3x

This means that the relationship is linear.

If we take any value of x then there will be only one value of y this means that the relationship is proportional.

So the following statements are true

The relationship is proportional.

The relationship is linear.

The equation of the line is y = –3x.

B. 3. Because if you have two people rolling a six sided die, with odd and even number contributions, you would divide 6 by 2. This is because there are TWO people going for TWO different types of numbers, odd and even. 6/2 gives us 3.


Hope this helps :)

The perimeter of a swimmingpool is 78 feet. The difference between four times the length and the width is 73.5 feet. What are th
Marianna [84]

Answer:

Length is 22.5 ft

Width is 16.5 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

4L-w=73.5

4L=73.5+w

L=(73.5+w)/4

P=78

P=2L+2w

78=2[(73.5+w)/4]+2w

78=(73.5+w)/2+2w

78=(73.5+w+4w)/2

2•78=73.5+5w

156=73.5+5w

156-73.5=5w

82.5=5w

82.5/5=w

16.5=w

L=(73.5+w)/4

=(73.5+16.5)/4

=90/4

L=22.5
