Answer:

  • rectangle: 12 ft × 24 ft
  • square: 18 ft square

Step-by-step explanation:

You want the dimensions of a rectangle and square such that they have the same perimeter, but the square has an area of 36 more square feet. The rectangle is twice as long as wide.

<h3>Setup</h3>

Let x represent the side length of the square. Then its area is x², and the area of the rectangle is (x² -36).

This area is the product of length and width. The expression factors as ...

  rectangle area = x² -36 = (x +6)(x -6)

<h3>Solution</h3>

If we assume these factors are the dimensions of the rectangle, then the longer dimension is twice the shorter one:

  (x +6) = 2(x -6)

  18 = x . . . . . . . . . add 12-x to both sides

This is the side length of the square. The rectangle dimensions are ...

  x+6 = 18+6 = 24 . . . . feet long

  x -6 = 18 -6 = 12 . . . . feet wide

The rectangle is 12 feet wide and 24 feet long. The square is 18 feet on a side.

__

<em>Additional comment</em>

The perimeter in each case is 4x = 2((x+6) +(x -6)) = 72 ft.

The area of the rectangle is (12 ft)(24 ft) = 288 ft². The area of the square is (18 ft)² = 324 ft², a value that is 36 ft² more than the rectangle area.

<em>Alternate solution</em>

Using x for the width of the rectangle, the length is 2x and its area is x(2x) = 2x². The perimeter is 2(x +2x) = 6x, so the side length of the square is (6x)/4 = 3/2x and its area is (3/2x)² = 9/4x².

The difference is 36 square feet, so we have ...

  9/4x² -2x² = 36 = x²/4   ⇒   x = √(36·4) = 6·2 = 12 . . . . width of rectangle

MrRissso [65]

The profit of  5103.5 by making a prescription for 6 tablets.

<h3>What is percentage?</h3>

Percentage, a relative value indicating hundredth parts of any quantity.

The drug Viagra comes in a quantity of 30 tablets with an AWP of $900.

The insurer is willing to pay the AWP less 5% plus a $2.50

900/TAB = X 30 TABS  =$27000

27000 * (0.05)= $1350

27000-1350.00

=$25650 + $2.50

=25652.5 for 30 tablets

For 6 tablets,

= (25652.5 / 30)*6

= 5103.5

Answer: C) 25

Step-by-step explanation:

x²+10x+ __=16+ __

Only the square of 5, 5², which is 25, can make the two factors plus equal to 10x, so we need to add 25.
