Hello thee i hope you are having good day :) Your Question: 15-foot piece of string is cut into two pieces so that the longer piece is 3 feet longer than twice the shorter piece. If the shorter piece is x feet long, find the lengths  of both pieces.

so firstly you would do  L = 3 + 2x  S = x  X + (3 + 2x) = 15  X + 3 + 2x = 15

3x + 3 = 15  then you would take away that 3x = 15 - 3  this would equal 12 so x = 4 and then add it 3+ 2x = 3+2 (4) = 3 + 8 = 11   Short piece is 4 feet  Long piece is 11 feet.

Hopefully that helps you ❤

Three of the four vertices of a rectangle are located at (4, 2), (7, 2) and (4, 8). a. What are the coordinates of the missing v
34kurt

Answer:

a) The coordinates of the missing vertex = (7, 8)

b) Area = 18 square units

   Perimeter = 18 units

Step-by-step explanation:

a) We know three of the four vertices:

A: (4, 2)           C ______ D(?)

B: (7, 2)               |             |

C: (4, 8)           A |______| B  

To find the coordinates of the missing vertex we need to calculate the distance in the x-direction from point A to point B:

B_{x} - A_{x} = 7 - 4 = 3                    

Hence, the distance of point D from point C in the x-direction is:

D_{x} = C_{x} + 3 = 4 + 3 = 7

Now, to find the coordinate in "y" we need to calculate the distance in the y-direction between point C and point A:

C_{y} - A_{y} = 8 - 2 = 6  

Then, the distance of point D from point B in the y-direction is:

D_{y} = B_{y} + 6 = 2 + 6 = 8

Therefore, the coordinates of the missing vertex (point D) are:

D = (D_{x}, D_{y}) = (7, 8)    

b) The area of the rectangle is:

a = (B_{x} - A_{x})*(C_{y} - A_{y}) = 3*6 = 18 units^{2}

The perimeter is given by:

p = 2*(3 + 6) = 18 units

I hope it helps you!

Is anyone good with this? I need help finding the answer.

Answer:

parallel:

7x - 8y = 60

perpendicular:

8x + 7y = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

original line:

-7x + 8y = 4

m = 7/8

parallel:

m = 7/8

L: 7x - 8y = k

(4, -4) -> L

28 + 32 = 60 = k

L: 7x - 8y = 60

perpendicular:

m = -8/7

L: -8x + 7y = k

(4, -4) -> L

-32 + 28 = -4 = k

L: -8x -7y = -4

=> 8x + 7y = 4
