P=2l+2w

Since it is given that P=26m, length is 5 more than its width (w+5), we'll work it out in the perimeter formula.

26=2(w+5)+2w
26=2w+10+2w
26=4w+10
4w=26-10
4w=16
w=4

Thus the width is 4m. Let's find the length.

l=w+5
l=4+5
l=9

The length of a pen is 9m.

L = length

W = width

P = perimeter


P = 26m

L = W + 5     [the length is 5 more than the width]


The perimeter is the total of adding all of the side lengths together.

P = L + L + W + W  or  P = 2L + 2W


Because L = W + 5, you can substitute/plug in (W + 5) for "L" in the equation

P = 2L + 2W

P = 2(W + 5) + 2W     Multiply 2 into (W + 5)

P = 2W + 10 + 2W      Combine like terms

P = 4W + 10      


Since you know the perimeter is 26, plug 26 in for "P"

26 = 4W + 10           Subtract 10 on both sides

16 = 4W              Divide 4 on both sides

4 = W


Now that you know the width, you can find the length

L = W + 5

L = 4 + 5

L = 9


<u>The width is 4 m, the length is 9 m.</u>

tangare [24]
There is a 1/2 chance that he will get at least one of the two features.

There are 3 x 4 = 12 possibilities. There are all 4 colors of each 3 sizes.

All 4 of the medium trucks have one of the features.

For the other 2 sizes, only the red truck will have one of the features.

There are 4 + 2 = 6 possibilities out of 12 for a chance of 6/12 or 1/2.

Linda goes water-skiing one sunny afternoon. After skiing for 15 min, she signals to the driver of the boat to take her back to
trasher [3.6K]
60 = a * (-30)^2
a = 1/15
So y = (1/15)x^2


abc)
The derivative of this function is 2x/15. This is the slope of a tangent at that point.
If Linda lets go at some point along the parabola with coordinates (t, t^2 / 15), then she will travel along a line that was TANGENT to the parabola at that point.
Since that line has slope 2t/15, we can determine equation of line using point-slope formula:
y = m(x-x0) + y0
y = 2t/15 * (x - t) + (1/15)t^2
Plug in the x-coordinate "t" that was given for any point.


d)
We are looking for some x-coordinate "t" of a point on the parabola that holds the tangent line that passes through the dock at point (30, 30).
So, use our equation for a general tangent picked at point (t, t^2 / 15):
y = 2t/15 * (x - t) + (1/15)t^2
And plug in the condition that it must satisfy x=30, y=30.
30 = 2t/15 * (30 - t) + (1/15)t^2
t = 30 ± 2√15 = 8.79 or 51.21
The larger solution does in fact work for a tangent that passes through the dock, but it's not important for us because she would have to travel in reverse to get to the dock from that point.
So the only solution is she needs to let go x = 8.79 m east and y = 5.15 m north of the vertex.
