The perimeter of a rectangle is all sides added  up, so length + length + width + width.

L = length

W = width

then the perimeter is L+L+W+W, or 2L + 2W, or 2(L+W).

\bf \textit{perimeter of a rectangle}\\\\
P=2(L+W)~~
\begin{cases}
P=162\\
L=\stackrel{\textit{twice W}}{2W}
\end{cases}\implies 162=2(2W+W)
\\\\\\
\cfrac{162}{2}=3W\implies 81=3W\implies \cfrac{81}{3}=W\implies 27=W

what's the length?  well, is just 2(27).

Answer:

adult tickets = 17, children tickets = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of children and y the number of adults

Then given that 26 tickets are sold, we can write

x + y = 26 → (1)

Given that ticket cost was $194 we can write

5.5x + 8.5y = 194 → (2)

Rearrange (1) expressing y in terms of x by subtracting x from both sides

y = 26 - x → (3)

Substitute y = 26 - x into (2)

5.5x + 8.5(26 - x) = 194 ← distribute and simplify left side

5.5x + 221 - 8.5x = 194

- 3x + 221 = 194 ( subtract 221 from both sides )

- 3x = - 27 ( divide both sides by - 3 )

x = 9

Substitute x = 9 into (3) for corresponding value of y

y = 26 - 9 = 17

Hence number of adult tickets sold = 17

number of children tickets sold = 9

Can someone answer question 2a and b only please
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

2a)  -2

b) 8

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Equation of a parabola in vertex form</u>

f(x) = a(x - h)² + k

where (h, k) is the vertex and the axis of symmetry is x = h

2 a)

Using the equation of a parabola in vertex form, a parabola with vertex (2, -6):  

f(x) = a(x - 2)² - 6

If one of the x-axis intercepts is 6, then

                 f(6) = 0

⇒ a(6 - 2)² - 6 = 0

⇒         16a - 6 = 0

⇒              16a = 6

⇒                  a = 6/16 = 3/8

So f(x) = 3/8(x - 2)² - 6

To find the other intercept, set f(x) = 0 and solve for x:

                    f(x) = 0

⇒ 3/8(x - 2)² - 6 = 0

⇒      3/8(x - 2)² = 6

⇒           (x - 2)² = 16

⇒              x - 2 = ±4

⇒                   x = 6,  -2

Therefore, the other x-axis intercept is -2

b)

Using the equation of a parabola in vertex form, a parabola with vertex (2, -6):  

f(x) = a(x - 2)² - 6

If one of the x-axis intercepts is -4, then

                 f(-4) = 0

⇒ a(-4 - 2)² - 6 = 0

⇒         36a - 6 = 0

⇒              36a = 6

⇒                  a = 6/36 = 1/6

So f(x) = 1/6(x - 2)² - 6

To find the other intercept, set f(x) = 0 and solve for x:

                    f(x) = 0

⇒  1/6(x - 2)² - 6 = 0

⇒       1/6(x - 2)² = 6

⇒           (x - 2)² = 36

⇒              x - 2 = ±6

⇒                   x = 8,  -4

Therefore, the other x-axis intercept is 8

Triangle JKL has vertices J(2,5), K(1,1), and L(5,2). Triangle QNP has vertices Q(-4,4), N(-3,0), and P(-7,1). Is (triangle)JKL
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

Yes they are

Step-by-step explanation:

In the triangle JKL, the sides can be calculated as following:

  • J(2;5); K(1;1)

             => JK = \sqrt{(1-2)^{2} + (1-5)^{2}  } = \sqrt{(-1)^{2}+(-4)^{2}  } = \sqrt{1+16}=\sqrt{17}

  • J(2;5); L(5;2)

             => JL = \sqrt{(5-2)^{2} + (2-5)^{2}  } = \sqrt{3^{2}+(-3)^{2}  } = \sqrt{9+9}=\sqrt{18} = 3\sqrt{2}

  • K(1;1); L(5;2)

             =>  KL = \sqrt{(5-1)^{2} + (2-1)^{2}  } = \sqrt{4^{2}+1^{2}  } = \sqrt{1+16}=\sqrt{17}

In the triangle QNP, the sides can be calculate as following:

  • Q(-4;4); N(-3;0)

             => QN = \sqrt{[-3-(-4)]^{2} + (0-4)^{2}  } = \sqrt{1^{2}+(-4)^{2}  } = \sqrt{1+16}=\sqrt{17}

  • Q (-4;4); P(-7;1)

   => QP = \sqrt{[-7-(-4)]^{2} + (1-4)^{2}  } = \sqrt{(-3)^{2}+(-3)^{2}  } = \sqrt{9+9}=\sqrt{18} = 3\sqrt{2}

  • N(-3;0); P(-7;1)

             =>  NP = \sqrt{[-7-(-3)]^{2} + (1-0)^{2}  } = \sqrt{(-4)^{2}+1^{2}  } = \sqrt{16+1}=\sqrt{17}

It can be seen that QPN and JKL have: JK = QN; JL = QP; KL = NP

=> They are congruent triangles

iren2701 [21]

Answer:

  0

Step-by-step explanation:

It is not permissible for the denominator to be zero, so the "nonpermissible replacement" for x is 0.

The time, t, required to complete a job
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

19 hrs

Step-by-step explanation:

t varies inversely with number of people p

t = k/p

If it takes 7.125 hrs for 8 workers to do the job

K = tp

= 7. 125 x 8

= 57

How many hours will it take if there are 3 workers .

Recall t = k/p

t = 57/3

= 19 hrs

Therefore, It’ll take 19 hrs to Complete the job if there are only three workers.
