Answer:

13.5 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

As the rectangle has 4 sides and the length is three times the width, each pair of a long side and a short side has a perimeter of 18 meters. As the ratio is 3:1, there are 4 parts in 18 meters, and 18 divided by 4=4.5. As the length covers 3 parts, and there are 4.5 meters per part, 4.5x3=13.5. The length of the rectangle is 13.5 meters. Hope it helps!

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply each term of the first polynomial with the second polynomial. Then combine the like terms.

(3a² + 5a - 2)* (5a² -3a + 4)

= 3a² *(5a² -3a + 4) + 5a*(5a² -3a + 4) - 2*(5a² -3a + 4)

=3a²*5a² - 3a*3a² + 4*3a² + 5a*5a² - 3a*5a + 4*5a + 5a²*(-2) - 3a*(-2) + 4*(-2)

=15a⁴ - 9a³ + 12a² + 25a³ - 15a² + 20a - 10a² + 6a - 8

= 15a⁴ - 9a³ + 25a³ + 12a² - 15a² - 10a² + 20a +6a - 8

= 15a⁴ + 16a³ - 13a² +26a - 8
