The perimeter is the total of adding all of the sides together. A rectangle has 2 lengths and 2 widths. The equation would be:
P = 2l + 2w or P = l + l + w + w
Since you know the perimeter, you can plug it into the equation
53 = 2l + 2w
You can divide the 2 on both sides
26.5 = l + w
l = w + 2.3 because the length is 2.3 meters longer/more than the width. You can substitute (w + 2.3) for "l" in the equation. So instead of:
26.5 = l + w
It will be:
26.5 = (w + 2.3) + w
26.5 = w + 2.3 + w
Subtract 2.3 on both sides
24.3 = w + w
24.3 = 2w
Divide 2 on both sides
12.1 = w
The width is 12.1 meters
Answer:
slope of line is 3/5
Step-by-step explanation:
slope is the ratio of the change in the y-values over the change in the x-values
in this problem, if you go from pt A to pt B, you rise by 3 and go to the right by 5, thus slope of 3/5
if you go from pt B to pt C, you rise by 6 and go to the right by 10
however, 6/10 can be reduced to 3/5
if you start at point (0,2) and rise by 3 and run to the right by 5 you are at point (5,5)
change in y-values is 5-2 or 3
change in x-values is 5-0 or 5
(5-2)/(5-0) = 3/5
