Answer:

The perimeter of rectangle is 18\ cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x-----> the length of the rectangle

y----> the width of the rectangle

we know that

x=y+5 ----> equation A

120=xy+2x^{2}+2y^{2} ---> equation B (area of the constructed figure)

substitute the equation A in equation B

120=(y+5)y+2(y+5)^{2}+2y^{2}

120=(y+5)y+2(y+5)^{2}+2y^{2}\\ 120=y^{2}+5y+2(y^{2}+10y+25)+2y^{2}\\ 120=y^{2}+5y+2y^{2}+20y+50+2y^{2}\\120=5y^{2}+25y+50\\5y^{2}+25y-70=0

using a graphing calculator -----> solve the quadratic equation

The solution is

y=2\ cm

Find the value of x

x=y+5 ----> x=2+5=7\ cm

Find the perimeter of rectangle

P=2(x+y)=2(7+2)=18\ cm

Question 7<br> #7) What value of m makes the equation true?<br> 3(8 – m) = 5m – 40
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

3(8-m)=5m-40

you first distribute 3 through the parenthesis

24-3m=5m-40

Move the variable to the left and change sign

24-3m-5m=-40

now move the constant to the right

-3m-5m=-40-24

collect like terms

-8m=-40-24

-8m=-64

Divide both sides by -8 and negative divide negative number becomes positive

so m = 8

Rectangle ABCD with coordinates A(1, 1), B(4, 1), C(4, 2), and D(1, 2) dilates with respect to the origin to give rectangle A'B'
IgorC [24]
Rectangle ABCD
Line AB = 4 - 1 = 3
Line CD = 4 - 1 = 3
Line AC = 2 - 1 = 1
Line BD = 2 - 1= 1

If line A'B' = 6

the scale factor of the dilation is 2.

Line AB: 3 x 2 = 6 line A'B/
