The length of a rectangle is 2 yd longer than its width. if the perimeter of the rectangle is 24 yd , find its area.

1 answer:

8 0

Width = x
Length = x +2
Perimeter = 24
Area = Width • Length = ?

Perimeter = 24 = 2(x +2) + 2(x)
= 2x + 4 + 2x
= 4x + 4
= 20 = 4x
= 5 = x

Width = x = 5, therefore Length = (5) + 2 = 7

Area = Width • Length = 5 • 7 = 35

Area = 35 yards

Tomtit [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the principal p= $290

rate r= 2.2% 2.2/100 =0.022

time t= 18years

by applying the expression

$V = Pe^{rt}$

We have

$V = 290e^{0.022*18}\\\\V=290e^{0.396}\\\\V=290*1.48586931755\\\\V=$430.90$

Hence after 18years the money in the account will be $430.90

14. Write the equation in slope-intercept form that passes through the two points.

nordsb [41]

Answer: y=5x+7

Step-by-step explanation:

If you draw a graph or use a graphing calculator the points and then connect them you will see that the y-intercept is 7 and the slope is 5/1. Slope intercpt form is y=mx+b. So the equation is y=5x+7.

2. Use the following picture for this question:

Art [367]

Answer:

a. $24\sqrt{3}$ and 41.6

b. 52.1

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering the left side triangle the blue dotted side is the side "opposite" to the angle given and the side 24 is the side that is "adjacent" to the angle given. The trigonometric ratio tan relates opposite to adjacent. Also, let the blue dotted side be y.

<u>Note:</u> the exact value of tan 60 is $\sqrt{3}$

Thus, we can write $Tan(60)=\frac{y}{24}\\y=24*Tan(60)\\y=24*\sqrt{3} \\y=24\sqrt{3}$

Approximate value (rounded to nearest tenth): $24\sqrt{3} =41.6$

Considering the triangle to the right, the side "opposite" to the angle given (53 degrees) is 41.6 (just found in part (a)) and the side "hypotenuse" (side opposite to 90 degree angle) is x. The trigonometric ratio sine relates opposite and hypotenuse.

Thus we can write and solve:

$Sin(53)=\frac{41.6}{x}\\x=\frac{41.6}{Sin(53)}=52.1$
