The dimensions of the rectangular base of the building with the given perimeter are 120ft and 285ft.

<h3>What are the dimensions of the rectangle base?</h3>

The perimeter of rectangle is expressed as;

P = 2( l + w )

Given the data in the question;

Let x represent the width of the rectangular base.

  • Width w = x
  • Length = l = 3x-75
  • Perimeter P = 810ft

Plug these values into the equation above.

P = 2( l + w )

810 = 2( (3x-75) + x )

810 = 6x - 150 + 2x

810 = 8x - 150

8x = 810 + 150

8x = 960

x = 960/8

x = 120

Hence,

Width of the rectangle = x = 120ft

Length of the rectangle = 3x-75 = 3(120) - 75 = 285ft

Therefore, the dimensions of the rectangular base of the building with the given perimeter are 120ft and 285ft.

Alchen [17]

Answer:

Constant of proportionality is 12

The cost of buying new bicycle changes  12 dollar per week

Step-by-step explanation:

we are given

The equation as

d=12w

where

d represents the amount in dollars

w is number of weeks

now, we can compare it with

y=kx

where

k is constant of proportionality

we can compare

and we get

k=12

So,

Constant of proportionality is 12

we can see that

12=\frac{d}{w}

So,

The cost of buying new bicycle changes  12 dollar per week
