----------------------------------------------------------------
Define x and y:
----------------------------------------------------------------
Let the length be x.
Let the width be y.

----------------------------------------------------------------
Formula:
----------------------------------------------------------------
Perimeter = 2(Length + Width)

----------------------------------------------------------------
Construct equations and solve for x and y:
----------------------------------------------------------------
2x + 2y = 56            ---------------------- (1)
2(x+8) + 4y = 82     -----------------------(2)

----------------------------------------------------------------
From equation 1:
----------------------------------------------------------------
2x + 2y = 56
x + y = 28
x = 28 - y

----------------------------------------------------------------
From equation 2:
----------------------------------------------------------------
2(x+8) + 4y = 82 
2x + 16 + 4y = 82
2x + 4y = 66
x + 2y = 33

----------------------------------------------------------------
Substitute x = 28 - y into equation 2:
----------------------------------------------------------------
x + 2y = 33
(28 - y) + 2y = 33
28 - y + 2y = 33
y = 5

----------------------------------------------------------------
Substitute y = 5 into equation 1:
----------------------------------------------------------------
x = 28 - y 
x = 28 - 5
x = 23

----------------------------------------------------------------
Find Length and Width
----------------------------------------------------------------
Length = x = 23 m
Width = y = 5m

----------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: Length = 23m and Width = 5m
----------------------------------------------------------------

Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

Depositing means that you added 50$ to your account. This means that you account increased by an amount of 50.

The integer describing this is +50.

Then, withdrawing means that you took money from the account. This means that your account decreased by an amount of 20.

This can be expressed as a -20 integer.

What are the missing sides and angles of this triangle? What is the area?
Butoxors [25]
This does not appear to be a right triangle.  However, we know 2 sides and the included angle, so can find the unknown side length.  Let x represent this length.  Then:

x^2 = (9 m)^2 + (12 m)^2 - 2(9m)(12 m)*cos 30 degrees, or

x^2 = 81 + 144 - 216(sqrt(3) / 2).  Please solve for x^2 and then solve the result for x, making sure to choose the positive value.  The result will be the length of the side opposite the 30 degree angle.

With 1 of 3 angles known, and 3 of 3 sides known, you can use the Law of Sines to find the other two angles.  As a reminder, the Law of Sines looks like this:

   a            b              c
-------- = --------- = ----------
sin A       sin B       sin C.

You can give the 30-deg angle any name you want; then a, the length of the side opposite the 30-deg angle, which you have just found.  And so on.
