A rectangular goat pen has an area of 40 square meters. Its perimeter is 26 meters. What are the dimensions of the pen?

1 answer:

4 0

Let the dimensions be x and y

Given that the area is 40m²
xy = 40 ----------------- (1)

Given that the perimeter is 26
2(x + y) = 26
x + y = 13
x = 13 - y ---------------- Sub into (1)

(13 - y)y = 40
13y - y² = 40
y² - 13y + 40 = 0
(y - 8)(y - 5) = =
y = 8 or y = 5

The dimensions are 8 meters and 5 meters

Answer:

n=−5

Step-by-step explanation:

n−4−3n=3n+6−3n

−2n−4=6

Step 2: Add 4 to both sides.

−2n−4+4=6+4

−2n=10

Step 3: Divide both sides by -2.

−2n /−2 = 10 /−2

n=−5

Answer

Attached the graph

Step by step explanation

Y = -1/4z + 5

Let's form the table values

Here z is the independent variable and y is the dependent values.

Let's take z = -1, 0, 1, 2 and find the corresponding y-values

-1 5.25

0 5

1 4.75

2 4.5

Now let's plot the points and draw the graph.

Here is the graph.
