Answer:

The length of the four pieces of protective strip is 96 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the w be the width of the rectangular house and L is length. Since L = w + 16, its perimeter P = 2(w + L)

= 2(w + w + 16)

= 2(2w + 16)

Since the perimeter of the house P = 136 feet,

136 = 2(2w + 16)

dividing through by 2, we have

136/2 = (2w + 16)

68 = (2w + 16)

collecting like terms, we have

68 - 16 = 2w

52 = 2w

dividing through by 2, we have

w = 52/2

w = 26 feet.

Now, since the side walk is 3 foot wide all around, the width of the house plus sidewalk = w + 3 and the length of the house plus sidewalk = L + 3 = w + 16 + 3 = w + 19.

So, the perimeter of the house plus sidewalk which is the perimeter of the four pieces of protective strip is P' = 2(w + 3 + w + 19)

= 2(w + 22)

= 2(26 + 22)

= 2(48)

= 96 feet

So, the length of the four pieces of protective strip is 96 feet.

A circle has a center at A (4,5), Determine the radius of the circle given two end points of the circle are B (9,5) and C (-1,5)
Anna71 [15]

ANSWER :

The center-radius form of the circle equation is in the format (x – h)2 + (y – k)2 = r2, with the center being at the point (h, k) and the radius being "r". This form of the equation is helpful, since you can easily find the center and the radius.
