The dimensions of the length and width are 25 meters and 12. 5 meters respectively.

<h3>How to determine the values</h3>

Area of a rectangle

area of rectangle = l × w

where

l = length

w = width

Note that,

Perimeter = 2w+ l

50 = 2w + l

l = 50  - 2w

Hence,

area = w(50 - 2w)

288 = 50w - 2w²

-2w² + 50w - 288 = 0

-w² + 25w - 144 = 0

The dimension w can be found as follows;

w = - b / 2a

where

a = -1

b = 25

w = - 25 / 2 ×  -1

w = 12.5 meters

Then, we have that

l = 50  - 2w

Substitute the value of w

l = 50 - 2(12.5)

l = 50 - 25

I = 25 meters

Thus, the dimensions of the length and width are 25 meters and 12. 5 meters respectively.

Find the first four terms of the sequence given by the following. an= 4(2)^n-1 n=1, 2, 3...
mr_godi [17]

Answer + Step-by-step explanation:

an= 4(2)ⁿ⁻¹

<u>First term (n = 1)</u> :

a1= 4(2)¹⁻¹ = 4(2)⁰ = 4×(1) = 4

<u>Second term (n = 2)</u> :

a2= 4(2)²⁻¹ = 4(2)¹ = 4×(2) = 8

<u>Third term (n = 3)</u> :

a3= 4(2)³⁻¹ = 4(2)² = 4×(4) = 16

<u>Fourth term (n = 4)</u> :

a4= 4(2)⁴⁻¹ = 4(2)³ = 4×(8) = 32

Bingel [31]

Answer: 175

Step-by-step explanation: First, a group of five hundred combs produces 34 defective combs. So if they make 2,500, you multiply how many times you add 500 to get to 2,500, which should be 5. Now multiply that to 34 and you get 175! To check it, divide: 34 divide by 150. Hope this helps!
