The length of a rectangle is 3 times the width, and the perimeter is 22. Find the dimensions of the rectangle.

1 answer:

8 0

<span> Ok, so first you know that the length=3 times the width, or width=x and length=3x.

To find the perimeter of a rectangle, you add the lengths of all the sides, so you add the width+width+length+length, or x+x+3x+3x.

This is then simplified into Perimeter=8x.

Since the perimeter is 22, you substitute it into the equation:
22=8x

Then, simply solve for x by dividing 22 by 8. The answer is x=2.75.

Since width=x and length=3x, width=2.75 and length=3 (2.75), or length=8.25.

Therefore, the dimensions of the rectangle are width of 2.75 and length of 8.25.

Hope it helps :] </span>

Write the standard form of the line that passes through the given points. Include your work in your final answer. Type your answ

Oksanka [162]

Standard form is ax+by=c

first we use
y-y1=m(x-x1)
a point is (x1,y1)
the slope is m

the slope between the points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is
(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
given
(1,1) and (3,4)
slope=(4-1)/(3-1)=3/2

a oint is (1,1) and slope is 3/2
y-1=3/2(x-1)
y-1=3/2x-3/2
solve for ax+by=c form, a is normally positive and a and b and c are whole numbers
times 2 both sides
2y-2=3x-3
minus 2y
-2=3x-2y-3
add 3
1=3x-2y
3x-2y=2
