Answer:

Width = 26 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the rectangle is:

area = (length*width)

416 = a*b

a = b/2  + 3

a = length

b = width

then:

416 = (b/2 + 3) (b)

416 = b*b/2 + b*3

416 = b²/2 + 3b

0 = b²/2 + 3b - 416

b = {-(+3)±√((3²)-(4*1/2*-416))} / (2*1/2)

b = {-3±√(9+832)} / 1

b = {-3±√841}

b = -3±29

only take the positive value becuse is a natural number

b = -3+29

b = 26 inches

a = b/2 + 3

a = 26/2 + 3

a = 13 + 3

a = 16 inches

Check:

416 = 16 * 26

write the equation of a line that passes through the points (5, -7) and is perpendicular to the line -2x + 6y = -4
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

y= -3x + 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Put -2x + 6y = -4 into slope-interceltp form

Take the negative reciprocal of the slope.

Use this reciprocal in point-slope form

and you have,

= y= -3x + 8

<em>(EDITED)</em> Steps:

2x+6y = -4

6y=2x - 4

y= 1/3x + 2/3

if two lines are perpendicular,

m1 * m2 + -1

1/3 * m2 = -1

m2 = -3

the line perpendicular to this line is

y = -3x + k ; k ∈ R

the line passes through the point (5,-7)

so,

-7 = -3. (5) +k

-7 = -15 + k

k = 8

∴the equation of a line that passes through the point (5,-7) and is perpendicular to the line -2x+6y=-4 is

y= -3x + 8

Hope this helps, have a nice day/night! :D
