Mathematics
1 answer:
spin [16.1K]4 years ago
8 0

Step-by-step explanation:

let the unknown be x

length = 3x

width = x

Perimeter = 2 lengths + 2 widths

24 ft = 3x + 3x + x + x

24 ft = 8x

3 ft = x

dimensions = length × width

= 3(3) × 3

= 9 ft × 3 ft

if you wanna check,

24 ft = 3(3) + 3(3) + 3 + 3

24 ft = 24

Mariana [72]

Answer:

Walkway is 3 feet wide.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Length of the building is 150 ft

width of the building is 100 ft

walkway is x ft wide.

Total area(around and including the building) = 16536 square feet

Solution:

Length of the total area will be = length of the building + width of walkway from 2 sides = 150 +2x

Width of the total area will be = width of the building + width of walkway from 2 sides = 100 +2x

Now Total area(around and including the building) = Length of the total area\times Width of the total area

(150+2x)\times(100+2x)=16536\\15000+300x+200x+4x^2=16536\\500x+4x^2=16536-15000\\4(125x+x^2)=1536\\125x+x^2= \frac{1536}{4}=384\\

x^2+125x-384=0\\x^2-3x+128x-384=0\\x(x-3)+128(x-3)=0\\(x-3)(x+128)=0\\

Now solving for both equation we get.

x+128=0\\x=-128\\x-3=0\\x=3

Now, We get 2 values for x which -128 and 3 but the width of the building can't be in negative value hence we will consider value of x be 3.

∴ Width of the walkway is 3 ft.

There are a number of ways you can write the piecewise function. Here is one of them:

p(t)=\left\{\begin{array}{rcl}7t&\mbox{for}&t\leq40\\10.5t-140&\mbox{for}&t>40\end{array}\right.

It could also be something like
p(t) = 7t + 3.50×max(0, t-40)
where the max(x,y) function returns the larger of x or y.
