The length of a rectangle is 1 ft less than double the width, and the area of the rectangle is 21 ft^2. Find the dimensions of t

he rectangle.

Let the width be w, then length = 2w - 1

Area = length times width = w(2w - 1) = 21.

Thus, 2w^2 - w = 21 or 2w^2 - w - 21 = 0

Solving the quadratic equation gives that w = 3.5.

Therefore, width is 3.5 ft and length is 2(3.5) - 1 = 6 ft.

A rectangle is formed by placing two identical squares side by side
Agata [3.3K]
The perimeter of one square is 20 cm.

explanation: since the rectangle can be divided into two squares, we can conclude that the area of one square is 25 cm^2 because 50 / 2 = 25. the square root of 25 is 5, so one side length of the square is 5 cm. multiply that by 4 (because there’s 4 sides) and you get 20 cm.

nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

\rm\implies y = 4x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given </u><u>:</u><u>-</u>

  • The slope of the line in the graph is 4.

And we need to find the equation of the line. On looking at the graph we see that , it cuts y axis at (0,3) .So the y Intercept of the equation is 3 .

<u>Slope</u><u> Intercept</u><u> Form</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u>-</u><u> </u>

\rm\implies y = mx + c

<u>Substituting</u><u> the</u><u> respective</u><u> values</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u>-</u><u> </u>

\rm\implies y = 4*x + 3 \\\\\rm\implies y = 4x + 3

<u>Hence</u><u> the</u><u> </u><u>equation</u><u> of</u><u> </u><u>line </u><u>is </u><u>y </u><u>=</u><u> </u><u>4</u><u>x</u><u> </u><u>+</u><u> </u><u>3 </u>
