The length of a rectangle is 5 in longer than its width. if the perimeter of the rectangle is 34 in , find its area.

1 answer:

3 0

Area(A)= lw
perimeter(P)= 2w+2l= 34in
length(l)= w+5
width(w)= w

1/2 P= 17= w+l
17= w+(w+5)
17= 2w+5
2w=12
w=6 in

l= w+5
l= 6+5
l=11 in

A= lw= (11)(6)= 66in²

Answer:
Area of rectangle is 66 in².

fiasKO [112]

Answer:

5.497787144 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that circumference of a circle can be calculated with:

$2\pi r$

r=radius

We also know that the radius is just a half of the diameter.

So, the radius of the track is (1/2)/2=1/4 miles

Now, use the circumference of a circle formula to find how much she runs in 1 lap.

$2\pi (\frac{1}{4} )$

Simplify

$\frac{\pi }{2}$

This is how much she runs in 1 lap.

Multiply by 3.5 for 3 and a half laps.

$\frac{\pi }{2}*3.5$

The answer is around 5.497787144 miles.
