the length of a rectangle is 4cm langer than the width. the perimeter is 80cm. what is the length and the width?

1 answer:

4 0

Let us assume the width of the rectangle = x cm
Then
The length of the rectangle = (x + 4) cm
It is already given that
Perimeter of the rectangle = 80 cm
Now we also know the formula for perimeter of a rectangle
Perimeter = 2 ( length + width)
80 = 2 (x + 4 + x)
80 = 2 (2x + 4)
80/2 = 2x + 4
40 = 2x + 4
Dividing both sides by 2 we get
20 = x + 2
20 -2 = x
x = 18
Then
Width of the rectangle = 18 cm
Length of the rectangle = (18 + 4) cm
= 22 cm
So the rectangle has a length of 22 cm and a width of 18 cm.

Graph the function y = 4 . Then use the graph to find the missing x- or y-coordinates for the function to the nearest hundredth.

Elodia [21]

Given equation is y=4.

Question says to graph the given equation y=4 then use the graph to find the missing x- or y-coordinates for the function to the nearest hundredth.

Equation y=4 has no "x" so that means line y=4 will be a horizontal line which passes through 4 on y-axis.

Since it is parallel to x-axis so that means there is no x-intercept.

y-intercept is (0,4) as the line crosses at 4 on y-axis.

A drop of oil makes a circular ring in a water puddle. The radius of the oil ring expands at 1.5 cm per second. If r(t)=1.5t and

Answer:

$a(t) =n(0.25t^2)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$r(t) = 0.5t$

$a(r) = nr^2$

Required

Determine the area in terms of time

From the question, we have:

$r(t) = 0.5t$ -> radius per time

and

$a(r) = nr^2$ --> area from radius

The interpretation of the question is to find the composite function: a(t)

If $a(r) = nr^2$ , and $r(t) = 0.5t$ , the

Substitute 0.5t for r

$a(t) =n(0.5t)^2$

$a(t) =n*0.25t^2$

$a(t) =n(0.25t^2)$

Minchanka [31]

Answer:

45 dogs

Step-by-step explanation:

so she has $550 and she did 20 cats and it costs $5 per cat and 5 x 20 is $100 and $550 - $100 = 450 and 450 divided by 10 ( because it's $10 per dog) is 45.
