P = 2(L + W)
P = 36 yds (if 1 yd = 3 ft, then 36 yds = 36 * 3 = 108 ft)
L = 2W + 6

108 = 2(2W + 6 + W)
108 = 2(3W + 6)
108 = 6W + 12
108 - 12 = 6W
96 = 6W
96/6 = W
16 = W......width = 16 ft

L = 2W + 6
L = 2(16) + 6
L = 32 + 6
L = 38 ....length = 38 ft

When D is placed on this square, what will the perimeter of the square be?
Semmy [17]

I can't see a square or a D given with your question.

But to find the perimeter you just have to add the surface of every side of the square.

Find the locus of a point such that the sum of its distance from the point ( 0 , 2 ) and ( 0 , -2 ) is 6.
jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

\displaystyle \frac{x^2}{5}+\frac{y^2}{9}=1

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find the locus of a point such that the sum of the distance from any point P on the locus to (0, 2) and (0, -2) is 6.

First, we will need the distance formula, given by:

d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}

Let the point on the locus be P(x, y).

So, the distance from P to (0, 2) will be:

\begin{aligned} d_1&=\sqrt{(x-0)^2+(y-2)^2}\\\\ &=\sqrt{x^2+(y-2)^2}\end{aligned}

And, the distance from P to (0, -2) will be:

\displaystyle \begin{aligned} d_2&=\sqrt{(x-0)^2+(y-(-2))^2}\\\\ &=\sqrt{x^2+(y+2)^2}\end{aligned}

So sum of the two distances must be 6. Therefore:

d_1+d_2=6

Now, by substitution:

(\sqrt{x^2+(y-2)^2})+(\sqrt{x^2+(y+2)^2})=6

Simplify. We can subtract the second term from the left:

\sqrt{x^2+(y-2)^2}=6-\sqrt{x^2+(y+2)^2}

Square both sides:

(x^2+(y-2)^2)=36-12\sqrt{x^2+(y+2)^2}+(x^2+(y+2)^2)

We can cancel the x² terms and continue squaring:

y^2-4y+4=36-12\sqrt{x^2+(y+2)^2}+y^2+4y+4

We can cancel the y² and 4 from both sides. We can also subtract 4y from both sides. This leaves us with:

-8y=36-12\sqrt{x^2+(y+2)^2}

We can divide both sides by -4:

2y=-9+3\sqrt{x^2+(y+2)^2}

Adding 9 to both sides yields:

2y+9=3\sqrt{x^2+(y+2)^2}

And, we will square both sides one final time.

4y^2+36y+81=9(x^2+(y^2+4y+4))

Distribute:

4y^2+36y+81=9x^2+9y^2+36y+36

The 36y will cancel. So:

4y^2+81=9x^2+9y^2+36

Subtracting 4y² and 36 from both sides yields:

9x^2+5y^2=45

And dividing both sides by 45 produces:

\displaystyle \frac{x^2}{5}+\frac{y^2}{9}=1

Therefore, the equation for the locus of a point such that the sum of its distance to (0, 2) and (0, -2) is 6 is given by a vertical ellipse with a major axis length of 3 and a minor axis length of √5, centered on the origin.

The cost of a gallon of gas increased from $3.54 to $3.87 over the weekend. What is the percent increase for the cost of gas, ro
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

9%

Step-by-step explanation:

percent increase is calculated as

\frac{increase}{original} × 100%

increase = $3.87 - $3.54 = $0.33 , then

% increase = \frac{0.33}{3.54} × 100% ≈ 9% ( to the nearest whole percent )
