The length of a rectangle is four times its width. If the area of the rectangle is 324m^2, find its perimeter.

Answer:

$perimeter=90$

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the length is four times the width, so:

$l=4w$

We also know the area, which is 324 m². The formula for area:

$A=l*w$

Insert the known values:

$324=(4w)*w$

Solve for w. Simplify by removing parentheses:

$324=4w*w\\324=4w^2$

Divide 4 from both sides to isolate the variable:

$\frac{324}{4}=\frac{4w^2}{4} \\\\81=w^2$

Find the square root of both sides:

$\sqrt{81} =\sqrt{w^2} \\\\w=9$

The width is 9 m.

We know the width. Now find the length by using the area formula and inserting known values:

$324=l*9$

Solve for l. Divide both sides by 9:

$\frac{324}{9}=\frac{l*9}{9}\\\\ l=36$

The length of the rectangle is 36. (You can check: 4 times 9 is 36)

Now find the perimeter:

$P=2l+2w$

Insert values:

$P=2(36)+2(9)\\\\P=72+18\\\\P=90$

The perimeter is 90 m.

A carrot has

4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

B- For an equal number of servings, the bananas will have three times as much sugar

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is

A carrot has 5 grams of sugar per serving. A banana has 15 grams of sugar per serving. Which statement is true?

A- There will always be more sugar in 10 servings of carrots than in a smaller number of servings of bananas.

B- For an equal number of servings, the bananas will have three times as much sugar.

C- For an equal number of servings, the bananas will always have 10 more grams of sugar.

D- The amount of sugar in two servings of carrots is 30 grams.

Verify each statement

A- There will always be more sugar in 10 servings of carrots than in a smaller number of servings of bananas

The statement is False

Because

In 10 servings of carrots there are 10(5)=50 grams of sugar

In 5 servings of banana there are 5(15)=75 grams of sugar

therefore

50 g < 75 g

B- For an equal number of servings, the bananas will have three times as much sugar

The statement is true

Because

In one serving of carrots there are 5 grams of sugar

In one serving of bananas there are 15 grams of sugar

The ratio of grams of sugar in a serving of bananas to grams of sugar in a serving of carrots is 15:5

Simplify

3:1

therefore

An equal number of servings, the bananas will have three times as much sugar

C- For an equal number of servings, the bananas will always have 10 more grams of sugar.

The statement is False

Because

In 10 servings of carrots there are 10(5)=50 grams of sugar

In 10 servings of banana there are 10(15)=150 grams of sugar

so

$50+10\neq 150$

D- The amount of sugar in two servings of carrots is 30 grams

The statement is False

Because

In 2 servings of carrots there are 2(5)=10 grams of sugar

$10\neq 30$
