Solve the following equation. Express your answer as an integer, simplified fraction, or decimal rounded to two decimal places.

A rectangular-shaped parking lot is to have a perimeter of 438 yards. If the width must be 86 yards because of a building code, what will the length need to be?

The width of a rectangle is going to be equal on both sides, as they’re parallel in a rectangular shape. We know the width is 86 yards, and we have two lots of these, therefore 86 multiplied by 2 is equal to 172 yards.

We still have two more sides, but once again, because this is a rectangle, those sides must be equal. Therefore if we subtract the 172 yards we know from the total perimeter of 438 yards we will end up with an answer of 266 yards. This figure is divided by two because we have a length on either side of the perimeter. Therefore the answer is 133 yards.

Hope this helps!

Tobin rows 2 miles per hour faster than her opponent. If it takes Tobin 30 minutes to finish a race, and it takes her opponent 4
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]
If we represent Tobin's speed as x, we can write her opponent's speed as 
x-2 (since Tobin is 2 more than them). In addition, since it's in miles per hour, and 45 minutes is 3/4 of an hour, we can say that 3/4ths of her speed in miles per hour is how long the race is, so (3/4)(x-2)=distance of race. In addition, since it only took Tobin 30 minutes, and 30 minutes is half an hour, x/2 (half of her miles per hour) is the length of the race, so (3/4)(x-2)=(1/2)x. Expanding it, we get 3x/4-6/4=x/2. Subtracting x/2 (or 2x/4) from both sides, we get x/4-6/4=0 and by adding 6/4 to both sides we get x/4=6/4. Multiplying 4 to both sides, we get that x=6=Tobin's speed in miles per hour

Determine whether each ordered pair is a solution to the inequality x+y<3.
nydimaria [60]

Answer:

To see if an ordered pair is a solution to an inequality, plug it into the inequality and simplify. If you get a true statement, then the ordered pair is a solution to the inequality. If you get a false statement, then the ordered pair is not a solution.

The dimensions of a trapezoid are halved.
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

  a) area will be 1/4 of the original

  b) 7 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>a)</h3>

Consider the equation for the area of a trapezoid:

  A = 1/2(b1 +b2)h

Now, halve each of the dimensions:

  A' = 1/2((1/2)b1 +(1/2)b2)((1/2)h)

  A' = (1/4)(1/2(b1 +b2)h) = 1/4A

The area is multiplied by the square of the scale factor: (1/2)² = 1/4.

__

<h3>b)</h3>

The area of the smaller trapezoid will be ...

  A' = 1/4A = (1/4)(28 cm²) = 7 cm²
