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).

Which equation represents the line that is perpendicular to and passes through (-40,20)?
emmasim [6.3K]

The equation of the perpendicular line to the given line is: y = -5/4x - 30.

<h3>What is the Equation of Perpendicular Lines?</h3>

The slope values of two perpendicular lines are negative reciprocal of each other.

Given that the line is perpendicular to y = 4/5x+23, the slope of y = 4/5x+23 is 4/5. Negative reciprocal of 4/5 is -5/4.

Therefore, the line that is perpendicular to it would have a slope (m) of -5/4.

Plug in m = -5/4 and (x, y) = (-40, 20) into y = mx + b to find b:

20 = -5/4(-40) + b

20 = 50 + b

20 - 50 = b

b = -30

Substitute m = -5/4 and b = -30 into y = mx + b:

y = -5/4x - 30

The equation of the perpendicular line is: y = -5/4x - 30.

Which expression is equivalent to 6f+f?
Elena L [17]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because 6f+f is just 7f.

f f f f f f+f = fffffff

Soooo, ONLY A gives us 7f when added together again.

f+5f+f=7f.

f+ f f f f f +f = fffffff

Answer:

Six

Step-by-step explanation:

1.Convert all volumes to millilitres

(a) Chlorpheniramine

V = 100 mL

(b) Lidocaine

V = \text{2 fl oz} \times \dfrac{\text{29.57 mL}}{\text{1 fl oz}} = \textbf{59 mL}

(c) Banana flavouring

V = \dfrac{1}{2}\text{ tsp} \times \dfrac{\text{4.928 mL}}{\text{1 tsp}} = \textbf{2.5 mL }

2. Calculate the total volume

Chlorpheniramine = 100  mL

Lidocaine               =   59

Banana flavouring =  <u>   2.5    </u>

TOTAL                    =  162 mL

3. Calculate the number of doses

\text{Doses} = \text{162 mL} \times \dfrac{\text{1 dose}}{\text{10 mL}} = \text{16.2 doses}\\\\\text{You can't take a fraction of a dose, so the there are $\large \boxed{\textbf{16 doses}}$}
