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

Please help with 6 and 7
Maru [420]

Answer:

6a) i- 2hrs 36mins  ii- 3hrs 12mins

b) car A≈ 76.9km/h  car B≈ 62.5km/h

c)------

7a) 35km

b) car A=75km  car B=60km

c) 30km

d) car A≈36mins  car B≈48mins

Step-by-step explanation:

6a) Using the graph follow the lines until they finish then go downwards until you get to the x-axis. The x-axis is going up by 12mins for each square.

b) Using the answer from a, you divide 200km by the time.

For car A 2hrs 36mins becomes 2.6 because 36mins/60mins=0.6

∴ car A: 200/2.6≈ 76.92km/h

For car B 3hrs 12mins becomes 3.2 because 12mins/60mins=0.2

∴ car B: 200/3.2≈ 62.5km/h

7a) Using the graph go down from where the line of car A finished to meet car B. The y-axis is going up by 5km for each square.

b) Starting from the x-axis at 1 hour go upwards to see where you meet the car B line (60km) and car A line(75km). (sorry if that does not really make sense).

c) Difference from car A line to car B:

155km-125km=30km

d) Going across from 50km meet car A line and go down to see it has been travelling for approx. 36mins. Then continue across to car B line, go down to see it reached 50km at approx. 48mins.

Hope this helps.

What's is the area in square centimeters of the trapezoid
denis-greek [22]
I do not see the exact value, but this is the formula: A=\frac{1}{2}\left(b_1+b_2\right)h=\frac{\left(b_1+b_2\right)h}{2}

A canoe traveled Downstream with the current and went a distance of 15 miles in three hours. On the return trip, the canoe trave
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

1 mile/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the Speed of the boat still in water = a

Speed of the current = b

We know from this formula that speed = distance/time

Hence,

A canoe traveled Downstream with the current and went a distance of 15 miles in three hours.

Downstream = a + b = 15/3

a + b = 5 .........Equation 1

On the return trip, the canoe traveled Upstream against the current. It took 5 hours to make the return trip.

Upstream = a - b = 15/5

a - b = 3 ..............Equation 2

Combining both Equation together

a + b = 5 .........Equation 1

a - b = 3 ..............Equation 2

Subtracting Equation 2 from Equation 1

2b = 2

b = 2/2

b = 1miles/hr

Since b = speed of the current which can also be called rate of the current, the rate of the current = 1 miles/hr
