If the perimeter of a rectangle is 38 cm and the area is 78 square cm, then what are the dimensions of the rectangle?

1 answer:

8 0

The length is 13 and the width is 6. The way I figured it out is: find two factors of the area (that if multiplied with each other, they equal the area) and see which ones add up and then get multiplied by two to find the perimeter. I found 6 and 13 and then added them together to get 19. Then I multiplied 19 by two and got 38. This is how I have always done it idk.

Your answer is length = 13 and width = 6.
hope this helps :)

Which equation is correctly rewritten to solve for x?<br><br> x/r - s = t

wolverine [178]

Answer:

x = r(t + s) (second option)

Step-by-step explanation:

First add s to both sides and get x/r = t + s.

Then mutiply both sides by r to separate x and this is the final equation:

x = r(t + s)

A boat is 400 feet away from one dock and 500 feet away from the another dock. the angle between the paths is 45°. what is the a

FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

The approximate distance between the docks is 357 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the distance between docks be d.

This is the opposite side to 45° angle of triangle with other sides 400 ft and 500 ft.

Use the law of cosines to find the value of d:

$d = \sqrt{400^2+500^2-2*400*500*cos45} =357$ (rounded)

A student was asked to find the slope of the line through the points (4,8) and (-3,5). His answer, <img src="https://tex.z-dn.ne

evablogger [386]

Answer:

$m=\frac{-3}{-7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following question:

Point A = (4, 8) = (x1, y1)
Point B = (-3, 5) = (x2, y2)

In order to find the slope any two points given we use the formula to find slope or rise/run.

$m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$
$m=\frac{5-8}{-3-4} =\frac{-3}{-7}$
$m=\frac{-3}{-7}$

The reason why the students answer is incorrect because he substituted incorrectly. More specifically the run part of the formula for slope. The formula for slope goes x2 - x1 which means it should be -3 - 4, not -4 - 3, which will give you the answer -7.

Hope this helps.
