----------------------------------------------------------------
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
----------------------------------------------------------------

What are the coordinates of the red dot?
kow [346]

Answer:

(5, 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Coordinates of a point in a coordinate plane is usually written as (x, y). This point contains the value of x and its corresponding y value.

The red dot on the plane given, if you trace it down to the x-axis, it is at x = 5, while if you trace it horizontally against the y-axis, you'd have y = 2.

Therefore, the coordinates of the red dot is (5, 2).

Maxwell wants to know how much space his globe occupies. Should he find its surface area or volume? Explain your answer
Elenna [48]

Since, Maxwell wants to know how much space his globes occupies he has to find its volume.

<h3>What is a volume?</h3>

Volume is the amount of space an object or substance occupies.

Every three dimensional object occupies a space.

Volume is measured in cubic units.

Therefore, the three dimensional object that has a width, length and height will have its volume as follows;

volume = lwh

where

  • l = length
  • w = width
  • h = height

Therefore, the space occupied by the globe is the volume of the globe.
