Answer:

13 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Define x :

--------------------------------------------

Let the width be x.

Width = x

Length = 2x - 3

--------------------------------------------

Perimeter Formula :

--------------------------------------------

Perimeter = 2 (Length + Width)

 --------------------------------------------

FInd Width :

--------------------------------------------

42 = 2 (x + 2x - 3) 

42 = 2(3x - 3)

42 = 6x - 6

48 = 6x 

6x = 48

x = 8 feet

--------------------------------------------

Find Length :

--------------------------------------------

Length = 2x - 3 = 2(8) - 3 = 13 feet

--------------------------------------------

Answer: The length is 13 feet.

The midpoint of line CD is M(-3,-7). If the coordinates of C are (-2, -10), what are the coordinates of D?
Lynna [10]

Answer:

D = (-4, -4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

midpoint of line CD = M(-3, -7)

coordinate of C = (-2, -10)

The coordinate of D is calculated as follows;

C(-2, -10)---------------------M(-3, -7)--------------------D

M = \frac{D_1 + C_1}{2} \ , \ \frac{D_2 + C_2}{2} \\\\(-3, \ -7) = \frac{D_1 + (-2)}{2} , \ \frac{D_2 + (-10)}{2} \\\\(-3, \ -7) = \frac{D_1 \ - \ 2}{2} , \ \frac{D_2 -10}{2} \\\\-3 =  \frac{D_1 \ - \ 2}{2}  \ \ ----(1)\\\\-7 =  \frac{D_2 -10}{2}  \ -----(2)\\\\From \ (1): 2(-3) = D_1\ - \ 2\\\\-6 = D_1 - 2\\\\-6 + 2 = D_1\\\\-4 = D_1\\\\From \ (2) : \ 2(-7) = D_2 - 10\\\\-14 = D_2 - 10\\\\ -14 + 10 = D_2\\\\-4 = D_2\\\\The \ coordinate \ of \ D = (D_1\ , \ D_2)\\\\D = (-4 \ , \ -4)

Therefore, the coordinate of D = (-4, -4)
