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.

Let D be the endpoint of the angle bisector opposite A on lying on side BC. The angle bisector theorem states that the ratio of BD to CD is equal to the ratio of AB to AC. In this case, you have

\dfrac{2x-1}{3x}=\dfrac9{15}

(This is the same equation that you have, it's just rearranged.)

Multiply both sides by 3x and 15.

15\times3x\times\dfrac{2x-1}{3x}=15\times3x\times\dfrac9{15}
15(2x-1)=3x\times9

Now you can solve for x.

30x-15=27x
3x=15
x=5

What is the slope of this line? <br> The coordinates are: (-4,5),(0,6), and (8,8).
Elodia [21]

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

we have to use the formula of slope here.

we know,

slope of the line passing through (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is-

\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}

Here, the first two points are -

(-4 , 5) and (0,6)

So, the slope will be-

\frac{6-5}{0-(-4)}=\frac{1}{0+4}=\frac{1}{4}


So, the slope is-

\frac{1}{4}
