------------------------------------
Define x :
------------------------------------
Let the width be x.
Width = x
Length = 2x

------------------------------------
Find x :
------------------------------------
2( x + 2x) = 180
2(3x) = 180
6x = 180
x = 30

------------------------------------
Find Length and Width:
------------------------------------
Width = x = 30 feet
Length = 2x = 2(30) = 60 feet

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: The length is 60 ft and the width is 30 ft.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

A point on a circle is 10 units from the center. How far will any other point on the circle be from the center?
sweet-ann [11.9K]
This means the radius is 10 units. For it to be a circle, any point that lies on the circle is the same distance from the moving point to a fixed point (the centre). This distance is the radius.

As such, any other point that lies on the circle is 10 units from the centre as well.

Since bx does not contain the variable to solve for, move it to the right-hand side of the equation by subtracting bx from both sides. 
<span>-ay=-bx+2 </span>
<span>ax+by=3 </span>

<span>Divide each term in the equation by -1a. </span>
<span>y=(bx-2)/(a) </span>
<span>ax+by=3 </span>

<span>Divide each term in the numerator by the denominator. </span>
<span>y=(bx)/(a)-(2)/(a) </span>
<span>ax+by=3 </span>

<span>The equation is not linear, so the slope does not exist. </span>
<span>No slope can be found. </span>

Endpoint: (-4, 8), midpoint: (3,-4)<br><br> Find the other endpoint<br><br> Explain please
swat32

Answer: (10,-16)

Step-by-step explanation:

A(-4,8)\ \ \ \ C(3,-4)\ \ \ \ \ B(x_B,y_B)=?\\

See the graph below.

                             \displaystyle\\\boxed {x_C=\frac{x_A+x_B}{2} }\\\\

Multiply both parts of the equation by 2:

2x_C=x_A+x_B\\2x_C-x_A=x_A+x_B-x_A\\2x_C-x_A=x_B

Hence,

x_B=2*3-(-4)\\x_B=6+4\\x_B=10

                            \displaystyle\\\boxed {y_C=\frac{y_A+y_B}{2} }

Multiply both parts of the equation by 2:

2y_C=y_A+y_B\\2y_C-y_A=y_A+y_B-y_A\\2y_C-y_A=y_B

Hence,

y_B=2*(-4)-8\\y_B=-8-8\\y_B=-16\\Thus,\ B(10,-16)
