Answer:
<h2>Length = 13 in.
</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
perimeter of a rectangle (P) = 2L + 2W
where;
P = 42 in.
Length (L) = 5 + W
Find:
length (L) of the rectangle
solution:
P = 2L + 2W
42 = 2(5 + W) + 2W
42 = 10 + 2W + 2W
42 - 10 = 4W
32 = 4W
W = 32/4
W = 8
Length (L) = 5 + W
= 5 + 8
= 13 in
proof:
42 = 2(13) + 2(8)
42 = 42 in
Real world example could be:
Consider x is time in minutes
Consider y is the amount of fish food required in grams
The equation could then represent how much food (in grams) that a fish needs to be fed x minutes after it was previously fed.
(14 meter/sec) x (1 mile/1609.344 meter) x (3,600 sec/hour) =
(14 x 3600) / (1609.344) = <em>31.32 mile/hour </em>(rounded)
Your correct. It is what you put down
