Answer:
The length and width are 11ft and 5ft respectively
Step-by-step explanation:
let the
length = L
Width = W
Area = LW = 55
The length is nine feet less than four times the width
L = 4W - 9
W (4W - 9) = 55
4W^2 - 9W -55 = 0
4W^2 - 20W + 11W - 55 = 0
4W(W - 5) + 11(W - 5) = 0
(W - 5)(4W + 11) = 0
W - 5 = 0 , 4W + 11=0
W = 5 or - 11/4
since the width cannot be negative, W = 5
LW = 55
L = 55/5
L = 11
The length and width are 11ft and 5ft respectively.

Answer:
D. 12
Step-by-step explanation:
There are a number of ways to find the area of this rectangle. Perhaps the most straightforward is to find the lengths of the sides and multiply those. The distance formula is useful.
d = √((x2 -x1)^2 +(y2 -y1)^2)
Using the two upper-left points, we find the length of that side to be ...
d = √((3 -0)^2 +(3 -0)^2) = √(9 +9) = √18 = 3√2
Similarly, the length of the lower-left side is ...
d = √((-2 -0)^2 +(-2 -0)^2) = √(4+4) = √8 = 2√2
Then the area of the rectangle is ...
A = LW
A = (3√2)(2√2) = 3·2·(√2)^2 = 3·2·2 = 12
The area of rectangle ABCD is 12.
_____
Other methods include subtracting the area of the corner triangles from the area of the bounding square:
5^2 -2(1/2)(3·3) -2(1/2)(2·2) = 25 -9 -4 = 12
Answer:
12

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
y = -4x - 2
slope of line = -4
slope of perpendicular to line = ¼
Point-slope equation for line of slope ¼, passing through (4,-4):
y+4 = ¼(x-4)
In slope-intercept form:
y = ¼x - 5
