Answer: length = 7 feet's

Width = 6 feets

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of a rectangle is the distance round the rectangle.

Perimeter of rectangle is expressed as

2(length + width)

The perimeter of the given rectangle is 26 feet. Therefore

2(L + W) = 26

Dividing by 2,

L+W = 13

The area of a rectangle is expressed as length × width

The given area is 42 square feet. Therefore,

L×W = 42

Substituting L = 13 - W into LW = 42, it becomes

W(13-W) = 42

13W - W^2 = 42

W^2 -13W + 42 = 0

W^2 -7W - 6W + 42 = 0

W(W - 7) - 6(W - 7) = 0

(W-6)(w-7)=0

W-6 = 0 or W-7=0

W=6 or W = 7

L= 13-6 or L= 13-7

L= 7 or L = 6

Answer:

slope of EF= $\frac{5}{3}$

∠QSR=45°,

∠PTQ=90°

if RT=24

then SQ=48

square is always a rectangle

∠SUT=21°

Step-by-step explanation:

two line are perpendicular to each other if product of their slope equal to -1

$m_{1}\times m_{2}$ =-1

slope of HE= $m_1$ =- $\frac{3}{5}$

slope of EF= $m_2$

slope of EF=-1 $\frac{-5}{3}$ = $\frac{5}{3}$

slope of EF= $\frac{5}{3}$ answer

∠QSR=45°,

∠PTQ=90°

if RT=24

then SQ=48

square is always a rectangle

given ∠SUT=3x+6

∠RUS=5x-4

∠SUT=∠RUS

3x+6=5x-4

x=5

∠SUT=3x+6=15+6=21°

∠SUT=21°

What is the area of the cross section AFGD?

hjlf

Answer: The area is $15in^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

The cross section AFGD is a rectangle. Then, its area can be calculated with this formula:

$A=l*w$

Where:

"A" is the area of the rectangle.

"l" is the lenght of the rectangle.

"w" is the width of the rectangle.

Then, from the figure, you can identify that the dimensions of the rectangle AFGD are:

$l=5in\\w=3in$

Therefore, you can substitute these values into the formula $A=l*w$ to find the area of the cross section AFGD. Then, you get:

$A=(5in)(3in)\\A=15in^2$
