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.

PLEASE helppp. What equation describes a line that is perpendicular y=-2/7x+5 and has the same y-intercept as y = 3x - 2?

svp [43]

Answer:

y = 7/2 -2

Step-by-step explanation:

if the slope of the first problem is -2/7 then its perpendicular is 7/2 (the exact opposite) and since the y- intercept is the b in Y= mx +b the intercept of the equation you’re trying to find is -2
