Answer:

length 42 cm and width 26 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Since Brian tied 136 foot rope around the perimeter , hence perimeter of house is 136 foot.

Given that shape of house is rectangular.

formula to calculate perimeter of rectangle can be used which is 2*(L+B)

where L is length of rectangle and B width of rectangle

Let the L and B be length of rectangular side of house

According to question

length of house is 10 feet less than twice the width of house

mathematically it can be represented as

L = 2*B - 10  --->eq. 1

Perimeter of house = 136 feet

using formula of Perimeter of rectangle

136 = 2*(L+B)

substituting the value of length in terms of width from eq. 1 in formula of perimeter

=> 136/2 = 2*B - 10 + B  (2*B+ B = 3B)

=> 68 = 3*B - 10

=> 78 = 3*B

B = 78/3 = 26

Therefore B which is width = 26 CM

length = 2*B - 10= 26*2 - 10 = 52-10=42

length of house = 42  cm

Hence dimension of Brian's house is length 42 cm and width 26 cm

What is the equation of the line? Graph of a line in the coordinate plane through the origin and the point begin ordered pair 1
Margarita [4]

Here the line passes through (0,0) and (1,3).

First we need to find the slope , and for that we need to use the following formula

m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

On substituting the values from the point, we will get

m=\frac{3-0}{1-0}=3

Now we will use slope intercept form, which is

y = mx+ b

Where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

And on substituting the values of x and y from the point (1,3) and slope, m = 3, we will get

3 = 3(1)+b

3=3+b

b =0

Substituting the values of m and b in the slope intercept form, we will get

y= 3x
