$x-\ length\\y-\ width\\\\
Perimeter=2x+2y\\\\
175=2x+2y\\
x=2y+6\\\\
175=2(2y+6)+2y\\
175=4y+12+2y\\
175=6y+12\ \ \ |Subtract\ 12\\
163=6y\ \ \ |Divide\ by\ 6\\
y=27,17feet\\\\
x=2*27,17+6=60,34feet\\\\
Length=60,34 \ feet\ and\ width=27,17\ feet.$

The perimeter of a rectangle is 102 inches. The length is 5 inches greater than the width.

Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

w = 23

l = 28

Step-by-step explanation:

w = width

l = w+5

P = 2 (l+w)

102 = 2( w+5+w)

102 = 2(2w+5)

Divide each side by 2

51 = 2w+5

Subtract 5

46 = 2w

Divide by 2

23 = w

The width is 23 and the length is 23+5 = 28

Mariulka [41]

Answer:

11.2 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

We can create a triangle from the information given.

We can call the starting point (0,0) in the coordinate system.

10 mi east - 10 miles to the right. then,
5 mi north - 5 miles above

See the attached picture. The direct distance is labeled as x.

Now we need to find x using pythagorean theorem.

Pythagorean Theorem = leg²+leg²=hypotenuse²

Solving for x:

$10^2+5^2=x^2\\100+25=x^2\\125=x^2\\x=\sqrt{125}\\x=11.18$

Rounding to nearest tenth, we have 11.2 miles

NARA [144]

Answer:

A. The data are continuous because the data can take on any value in an interval.

Step-by-step explanation:

The data surveyed is the exact mass, in grams, of food eaten by each person each day.

This type of data is continous, not discrete. The mass can take any value within the domain of positive real numbers. It represents a physic variable, and they are always continous.
