The perimeter (IP) of a rectangle is

P = 2(length + width)

let width = w then length = w + 88

P = 2(w+w+88) = 2(2w+88) = 4w+176

Thus P = 4w+176 = 7272

hence 4w = 7272 - 176 = 7096

so w = 7096/4 = 1774

width = 1774 inches and length = w+88 = 1774+88 = 1862 inches

A yard is 3 times as long as it is wide. 176 feet of fencing is needed to enclose the yard. Find the dimensions of the yard
svet-max [94.6K]
The perimeter of a rectangle is twice the sum of its side lengths.

P=2(L+W), we are told that L=3W and P=176 so

2(3W+W)=176

2(4W)=176

8W=176

W=22 ft, since L=3W

L=66 ft

So the yard is 22 feet wide and 66 feet long.

What is the domain and range of the function f(x) = x^2 -4x-5?
Tems11 [23]
F(x) = x²-4x-5, quadratic function,  
Domain (the values if x) is all real numbers.

To find range we should draw a graph or to write an equation in vertex form.
f(x) = x²-4x+4-4-5
f(x) = (x-2)²-9
Point (-2,-9) is the vertex of the parabola, and it is a minimum because a parabola has positive sign in front of x², so it is looking up.  Minimum value of y =-9
Range(the values of y) is [-9, ∞)

Grayson works in a department store selling clothing. He makes a guaranteed salary
MrRissso [65]

Step-by-step explanation:

a) $350 per week

20% commission on sales

20/100 × 925 = $185

Total earning = $350 + $185 = $535

b) For $x in sales, commission is

20/100 × x = 1/5 × x = x/5 or 0.2x

Total earnings = $350 + $ x/5 or $350 + $0.2x
