Answer:</h2>
The expression which represents the perimeter P of the rectangle as a function of L is:
<h2>
Step-by-step explanation:</h2>
The length and width of a rectangle are denoted by L and W respectively.
Also the diagonal of a rectangle is: 10 inches.
We know that the diagonal of a rectangle in terms of L and W are given by:
( Since, the diagonal of a rectangle act as a hypotenuse of the right angled triangle and we use the Pythagorean Theorem )
Hence, we have:
But we know that width can't be negative. It has to be greater than 0.
Hence, we have:
Now, we know that the Perimeter of a rectangle is given by:
Here we have:
<u>Corrected Question</u>
The blueprint for the Moreno Moreno's living room has a scale of 2 inches equals 7 feet.The family wants to use a scale of 1 inch equals = 6 feet. What is the width of the living room on the new blueprint? A rectangle is labeled width = 12 inches.
Answer:
7 Inch
Step-by-step explanation:
The width of the room on the old blueprint = 12 Inches
<u>Scale on the old blueprint: </u>
2 inches = 7 feet.
Therefore: 1 Inch =7/2 feet
12 Inches =12 X 7/2 feet =42 feet
The actual width of the room is 42 feet.
<u>Scale on the new blueprint</u>
1 inch equals = 6 feet; which we can reorder as:
6 feet=1 inch
1 feet =1/6 Inch
Therefore:
42 feet = 42 x 1/6 Inch =7 Inch
Thus, the width of the living room on the new blueprint is 7 Inch.
