Answer:
C. 12cm
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation for the perimeter of the rectangle is ...
P = 2(L+W)
34 = 2(n +m)
Solving for m, we get
m = 17 -n . . . . . . . divide by 2, subtract n
__
The Pythagorean theorem gives the relationship between the sides and the hypotenuse
m^2 +n^2 = (n+1)^2
(17 -n)^2 +n^2 = (n +1)^2 . . . . . . substitute for m
289 -34n +n^2 +n^2 = n^2 +2n +1 . . . . eliminate parentheses
n^2 -36n +288 = 0 . . . . . . . put in standard form
(n -12)(n -24) = 0 . . . . . . . . . factor
n = 12 . . . . . . . . . . n=24 is an extraneous solution here
The value of n is 12 cm.
The sum is 829.77, and the difference is 205.44
Answer:
56.3 kilometers per hour
Step-by-step explanation:
We know D = RT
where
D is distance
R is rate (speed)
T is time
Let's Bill's rate be "x". Thus using equation we can write:
D = xt
We know Eugene travelled 21.1 faster than Bill, so Eugene's rate is 21.1 + x. So we can write:
D = (21.1 + x)t
D = 21.1t + xt
Now, putting t = 1 in both since after 1 hour given, we have:
D = x(1)
D = x
and
D = 21.1(1) + x(1)
D = 21.1 + x
We know the sum of both the distance is 133.7, so we can write:
x + 21.1 + x = 133.7
Solving for x:
2x = 133.7 - 21.1
2x = 112.6
x = 112.6 / 2
x = 56.3 km/hr
This is Bill's rate: 56.3 kilometers per hour
