We are given a relationship between the sides of a rectangle, that is, the length of one of its sides is 5 less two times its width, and we are asked to find an expression for the area. Let's remember that the area of a rectangle is equal to the product of the length of its side by its width. Let "w" be the length of the rectangle and "L" its lenght, then the area is given by the following formula:
We can use the relationship given in the problem, that is, its length being five less two times its width, that is:
Replacing in the formula for the area we get:
Now we use the distributive law:
Answer:
She is about 14.765 miles ( miles) from where she started
Step-by-step explanation:
There is a relation between the three sides of the right triangle
- The side opposite to the right angle is called hypotenuse and it is the longest side
- The other two sides called legs of the right angle
- The relation between them is: (hypotenuse)² = (leg1)² + (leg2)²
∵ Jennifer bikes 7 miles south
∵ She turns to bike 13 miles east
∵ South and East are perpendicular
→ That means the distance from her start point to end point represents
a hypotenuse of a right triangle, whose legs are 7 and 13
∴ (hypotenuse)² = (leg1)² + (leg2)², where
- hypotenuse is the distance between her start and end points
- leg1 is her distance in south direction
- leg2 is her distance in east direction
∵ Leg1 = 7 miles
∵ leg 2 = 13 miles
∴ (hypotenuse)² = (7)² + (13)²
∴ (hypotenuse)² = 49 + 169
∴ (hypotenuse)² = 218
→ Take √ for both sides
∴ hypotenuse =
∴ hypotenuse ≅ 14.76482306
∴ She is about 14.765 miles ( miles) from where she started.
