Length (L): 2w + 6
width (w): w
Perimeter (P) = 2L + 2w
240 = 2(2w + 6) + 2(w)
240 = 4w + 12 + 2w
240 = 6w + 12
228 = 6w
38 = w
Length (L): 2w + 6 = 2(38) + 6 = 76 + 6 = 82
Answer: width = 38 ft, length = 82 ft
Recall that the direction of a vector can be seen from its slope, namely b/a.
let's take a peek at a couple of vectors, and multiply them by a scalar of 2.
hmmm say < 3 , 7 > , it has a slope of 7/3, now if we use a scalar of 2
2<3,7> => < 6 , 14 >, now, the slope of that is 14/6 which simplifies to, yeap, you guessed it, to 7/3, no change in the slope.
and say hmmmm < 11 , -2 >, slope of -2/11, let's multiply it by 2
2<11,-2> => <22 , -4 >, slope is -4/22 which simplifies to -2/11.
so, the vector's magnitude gets blown up, but the slope remains the same.
The volume of a box like this is found by multiplying the length times the width times the height. We are told that the length is 8 more inches than the width, so the width is w and the length is w + 8. If we cut away 3 square inches from each corner, the height when we fold up those corners is going to be 3. The volume is given as 27, so our formula looks like this:

. When we do that multiplication, we have

. We need to solve for w so we can then solve for h. Move the 27 over and set the quadratic equal to 0.

. We can then factor out a 3 to make the job easier:

. Now we can factor to solve for w. The 2 numbers that add up to 8 and multiply to -9 are 9 and -1. So (w+9) = 0, (w-1) = 0, or 3 = 0. Of course 3 doesn't equal 0, so that's out. w + 9 = 0 so w = -9. w - 1 = 0 so w = 1. There are 2 things in math that can never EVER be negative and those are time and distance/length. So -9 is out. That means that w = 1. But don't forget that there was 6 inches cut off each side, so the width is 1 + 3 + 3 which is 7. The length is w + 8 which means that the length is 7 + 8 or 15. Those are the dimensions of the rectangle before it was cut.
<u><em>Answer:</em></u>
37/96
<u><em>Explanation</em></u>:
Hazel uses 1yd for 60 charms, so for 5/8yd she would use 5/8×60=37.5.
Because she can’t use a fraction of a charm, she would use 37 charms which is 37/96 of the charms she has.
