A) w * L = 112
B) 2w + 2L = 44
A) w = 112 / L then substituting this into B)
B) 2 * (112/L) + 2L = 44
B) 224 / L + 2L = 44
B) 224 + 2L^2 = 44L
B) 2L^2 -44L +224 = 0
L = 14
L = 8

Double Check
Width = 14 Length = 8
2*14= 28 2*8 = 16
28 + 16 = 44

14*8= 112
Correct!!!

Someone please help with this question please

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Angle DAE = Angle BCE, lines AD amd BC are parallel (by Z-angles).

This means that Angle ADE = Angle CBE (by Z-angles).

We have 2 congruent angles and 1 congruent side (AD = BC, given).

By ASA congruence, triangles AED and CEB are congruent.

Analysis of an accident scene indicates a car was traveling at a velocity of 69.5 mph (31.1 m/s) along the positive x-axis at th

STatiana [176]

We can find the acceleration via

${v_f}^2-{v_i}^2=2a\Delta x$

We have

$\left(5.20\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)^2-\left(31.1\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)^2=2a(115\,\mathrm m)$

$\implies\boxed{a=-4.09\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}}$

Then by definition of average acceleration,

$a_{\rm ave}=\dfrac{v_f-v_i}t$

so that

$-4.09\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}=\dfrac{5.20\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}-31.1\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}}t$

$\implies\boxed{t=6.33\,\mathrm s}$

We alternatively could have found the time without knowing the acceleration. Since acceleration is constant, the average velocity is

$v_{\rm ave}=\dfrac{x_f-x_i}t=\dfrac{v_f+v_i}2$

Then

$\dfrac{115\,\rm m}t=\dfrac{5.20\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}+31.1\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}}2$

$\implies\boxed{t=6.33\,\mathrm s}$
