The area of the rectangular is expressed in the formula A = l*w where l is the length and w is the width. from the first satement, l = 2  + w; then A = (2+w)*w = 2w + w^2. If A is equal to 168, then w should be equal to 12 feet and l is equal to 14 feet. Hence the width due to the border limits is 12- 2*2 equal to 8 feet

DENIUS [597]
Let s represent the number of sales, and t the total pay
the equation to represent this situation is t = 2s + 50
so set t to 100, and solve for s

100 = 2s + 50
50 = 2s
25 = s

Answer:

WXYZ can not be a rectangle because consecutive sides are not perpendicular to each other.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given vertices are W(-4,3), X(1,5), Y(3,1) and Z(-2,-1).

Plot these points on coordinate plane and draw the quadrilateral as shown below.

Slope=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Using this formula, we get

m_{WX}=\dfrac{5-3}{1-(-4)}=\dfrac{2}{5}

m_{XY}=\dfrac{1-5}{3-1}=\dfrac{-4}{2}=-2

Now,

m_{WX}\times =\dfrac{2}{5}\times (-2)=-\dfrac{4}{5}\neq -1

Here, WX and XY are two consecutive sides of quadrilateral but the product of their slopes is not equal to -1. It means they are not perpendicular to each other.

Since, all interior angles of a rectangle are right angles, therefore, WXYZ can not be a rectangle.
