Answer:

Area = 84 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the area of the rectangle, you need to first set up an equation to find the length based on the information already given in the problem.  Since the perimeter = 40 and the formula to find perimeter of a rectangle is:       P = 2W + 2L, where W = width and L=Length, we can solve for 'L' by putting in the values given:

P = 2W + 2L  or  40 = 2W + 2(3W - 4)

The length of the rectangle is '4 less than 3 times the width'.  This can be written as the expression '3W - 4'.

Distribute:  40 = 2W + 2(3W - 4)  or 40 = 2W + 6W - 8

Combine like terms:  40 = 8W - 8

Add '8' to both sides:  40 + 8 = 8W - 8 + 8 or 48 = 8W

Divide both sides by '8':  48/8 = 8W/8 or 6 = W

Solve for L:  3W - 4 or 3(6) - 4 = 18 - 4 = 14

Since L=14 and W = 6, we can solve for Area using the formula: A = LxW or A = (14)(16) = 84in².

A park has a large circle painted in the middle of the playground area. The circle is divided into 4 equal sections, and each se
oee [108]
First you need to find the area of the whole circle.\pi  r^{2}
The radius is given as 10, so just insert 10 into the equation of the area of a circle equation. 
Area =  \pi  10^{2}    Area =  100 \pi
Putting \pi after the 100 because that is what is commonly done. 

Because the circle is then being split into 4 equal sections, we need to find 1/4 of the area of the whole circle to find the area of one of these sections. 

Since the area of the whole circle is 100 \pi then we just divide that by 4, 
leaving us with 25\pi and that is our final answer

Actually Welcome to the concept of expo functions.

f(x) = -8(2)^x - 12 ,

for f(0) ,here substitute x = 0

so we get as ,

==> f(0) = -8(2)^0 -12

==> f(0) = -8-12

==> f(0) = -20

hence, f(0) = -20
