Answer:
The length is 16 ft, and the width is 3 ft.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let L = length & let W = width.
The perimeter of a rectangle is
P = 2(L + W)
The area of a rectangle is
A = LW
We know the perimeter and the area, so we substitute those values int he equations above and we switch sides in both equations.
Perimeter: 2(L + W) = 38
Divide both sides by 2:
L + W = 19
Area: LW = 48
We have a system of two equations in two unknowns:
L + W = 19
LW = 48
Solve the first equation for L and substitute it into the second equation.
L = 19 - W
(19 - W)W = 48
19W - W^2 - 48 = 0
Multiply both sides by -1, and rearrange the order of the terms.
W^2 - 19W + 48 = 0
(W - 16)(W - 3) = 0
W - 16 = 0 or W - 3 = 0
W = 16 or W = 3
Use W = 3 to find L
L = 19 - W
L = 19 - 3
L = 16
Answer: The length is 16 ft, and the width is 3 ft.
Answer: AB/y = BC/z = AC/x
Step-by-step explanation:
Side AB corresponds to side y, side BC corresponds to side z, and side AC corresponds to side x.
Answer:
y = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
I'm assuming you are trying to say slope "0".
If the slope is 0, it means that the general equation Y = mX + c equals to Y = 0x + c and finally Y = c. Since the line is horizontal because it is 0 slope, Y = 6
(Note: this is hard to explain without graphing. You might want to graph both of these lines just to make sure I did this correctly. :))
Y = -4(x) is the y = mx + b where m = slope and b = the y intercept.
So the slope of line A is -4 / 1 and the y intercept is 0. (If it's 0 there is no point in writing it down, so it was left out of the equation.)
The slope of line B with be equal to the slope of line A, so we can fill that in our equation. y = -4 x + ??
We know that y increases as x decreases.
Now we just need to scale 8, -3 down until x = 0.
(8 - 4, -3 + 1) = (4, -2)
(4 - 4, -2 + 1) = (0, -1)
y = -4x -1 is your final answer. Hope that helps! :)
