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

Answer:

The slope of the line is undefined

Step-by-step explanation:

The given line is a vertical line.

The slope of any vertical line is undefined.

Let us see why by using the slope formula:

$m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

We substitute the coordinates of the points to obtain:

$m = \frac{3 - - 2}{1 - 1} = \frac{5}{0}$

This is not defined.
