Answer: w = 9 cm,   L = 23 cm

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

P (Perimeter)  = 2L(length) + 2w(width)

A (Area) = L (length) x w (width)


Use the formulas above to create a system of equations, then solve using the substitution method.

P = 2L + 2w

64 = 2L + 2w

32 = L + w

32 - w = L    ←←←   use this to substitute for L in the Area equation

                              A = L · w

                          207 = (32 - w)w

                          207 = 32w - w²

      w² - 32w + 207 = 0

         (w - 23)(w - 9) = 0

     w - 23 = 0            w - 9 = 0

           w₁ = 23                w₂ = 9


Now, solve for L:

      L₁ = 32 - w₁                      L₂ = 32 - w₂

         = 32 - 23                           = 32 - 9

          = 9                                    = 23


We have 2 sets of solutions (w₁ , L₁) and (w₂ , L₂)

                                              (23, 9)  and  (9, 23)

Notice that they are the same values but in reverse order.  These are the dimensions of the rectangle.  We generally consider width (w) to have the smaller value. So, w = 9 and L = 23

Perimeter Formula:
2l + 2b = 64


Area Formula:
l \times b = 207
Set perimeter Formula equal to b:
2l + 2b = 64 \\ 2(l + b) = 64 \\  l+ b = 32 \\ b = 32 - l
Plug formula for be we just made above into the area Formula:
(32 - l) \times l = 207


Solve for L (you'll have to use quadratic formula) then plug that back into the area Equation and solve for b.

Here's a link to where the problem has been explained before (they go into more detail than me).

On a map, the distance between two historical markers is 4.5 inches, and 2.5 inches represents 10 miles.
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

The actual distance between the historical markers is 18 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : On a map, the distance between two historical markers is 4.5 inches, and 2.5 inches represents 10 miles.  

To find : What is the actual distance between the historical markers?

Solution :

We have given that,

2.5 inches represents 10 miles.

i.e, 1 inch represent \frac{10}{2.5} miles.

1 inch = 4 miles.

Now, The distance between two historical markers is 4.5 inches.

The actual distance between the historical markers in 4.5 inch is

4.5 \text{ inch}=4.5\times 4\text{ miles}

4.5 \text{ inch}=18\text{ miles}

Therefore, The actual distance between the historical markers is 18 miles.

The vertices of a square CDEF are C(1,1), D(3,1), E(3,-1) and F(1,-1). What formulas prove that the diagonals are congruent perp
Oxana [17]

To prove that the diagonals are congruent, you need to formula to compute the distance between two points:

d(A,B) = \sqrt{(A_x-B_x)^2 + (A_y-B_y)^2}

Using that formula, you may prove that d(C,E) = d(D,F), which means that the two diagonals have the same length.

To prove that they are perpendicular, you need the formula to compute the slope of a segment. The slope, knowing the enpoints, is given by

m = \cfrac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} = \cfrac{A_y-B_y}{A_x-B_x}

You can use this formula to prove that

m_{CE} = -\cfrac{1}{m_{DF}}

In fact, if one slope is the opposite of the reciprocal of the other, the two segments are perpendicular.

Finally, to prove that they bisect each other, you first need to find the point where they meet. First of all, you need to find the line the segments lie on: the formula is

y-y_0 = m(x-x_0)

where (x_0,y_0) is one of the points belonging to the line, and you already know how to find the slope. Then, you find the point of intersection, say A, by solving the system involving the two lines:

\begin{cases} y= m_{CE}x+q_{CE}\\ y = m_{DF}x+q_{DF} \end{cases}

And use again the formula for the distance between two points to prove that

d(A,C) = d(A,D) = d(A,E) = d(A,F)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a  (2³)² = 2³ˣ² = 2⁶

b (7⁰)¹ = 7⁰ˣ¹ = 7⁰ = 1

c (5⁶)³ = 5⁶ˣ³ = 5¹⁸

d (6²)⁴ = 6²ˣ⁴ = 6⁸

e (8³)⁴ = 8³ˣ⁴ = 8¹²

f (4³)² = 4³ˣ² = 4⁶

g (9¹)² = 9¹ˣ² = 9² = 81

h (3⁷)² = 3⁷ˣ² = 3¹⁴

i (10²)³ = 10²ˣ³ = 10⁶

j (11²)⁴ = 11²ˣ⁴ = 11⁸
