The perimeter of a rectangle is 150cm. The length is 15cm greater than the width. Find the dimensions

1 answer:

7 0

150/4 = 37.5cm. You divide by four because there are four sides on a rectangle. But 37.5 is the cm of a square. Since it says one of the sides is 15cm greater, you subtract 37.5 - 15 = 27.5cm on 2 of the width. While the other 2 lengths are greater than the width by 15 cm, so you add 15 to 37.5 which gives you 52.5cm. So the 2 width are 27.5cm and the length is 52.5cm.

The only that has the shape of the one below.

y = -4(x^3 + 7x^2+8x - 16)
Let x = 1
y = - 4(1 + 7 + 8 - 16)
y = 0

y = -4(x -1)(x^2 + 8x + 16)
y = -4(x - 1)(x + 4)^2
