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).

This question is really confusing me, it talks about unknown angle problems with Algebra.
Sever21 [200]

Answer:

20

Step-by-step explanation:

The two given and marked angles add up to 90.

A = x

B = 3x + 10

A + B = 90          Substitute for A and B. A and B are just letters I gave things.

x + 3x + 10 = 90        Combine the left

4x + 10 = 90              Subtract 10 from both sides.

4x +10-10 = 90-10     Combine

4x = 80                      Divide by 4

4x/4=80/4

x = 20
