Answer:

Length= 19cm

Width= 9cm

Step-by-step explanation:

let the length of the rectangle be L cm and its width be W cm.

Perimeter of rectangle= 56cm

2L +2W= 56

L +W= 56 ÷2

L +W= 28

L= 28 -W -----(1)

Area of rectangle= length ×width

LW= 171 -----(2)

Susbt. (1) into (2):

W(28 -W)= 171

28W -W²= 171 <em>(</em><em>expand</em><em>)</em>

W² -28W +171= 0 <em>(</em><em>bring</em><em> </em><em>everything</em><em> </em><em>to</em><em> </em><em>one</em><em> </em><em>side</em><em>)</em>

(W -19)(W-9)= 0 <em>(</em><em>factorise</em><em>)</em>

W-19=0 or W-9=0

W= 19 or W= 9

Subst into (1):

L=28 -19 or L= 28 -9

L=9 or L= 19

Since we usually take the longer side of the rectangle to be its length, L= 19 and hence W=9.

Therefore its length is 19cm and its width is 9cm.

Avery got on the bus at 1:25 P.M. The trip took 74 minutes. Then she walked for 61 minutes to get home.
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

3:40 p.m.

Step-by-step explanation:

Add 74 minutes to 1:25 p.m.; the improperly formed result witll be 1:99 p.m.; to express this properly, add 1 hour to this time and subtract 60 minutes from it:

2:39 p.m. (time at which Avery gets off the bus)

If Avery walked 61 minutes to get home and we want to know what time she arrived, we add 61 minutes to 2:39 p.m., obtaining 2:100 p.m., which must in turn be re-written as 3:40 p.m.

Avery arrived home at 3:40 p.m.

Note:  another way in which to do this problem is to add 74 minutes and 61 minutes, obtaining 135 minutes, and then adding 135 minutes to 1:25 p.m. and making the necessary adjustments to the result:

1:25 p.m. + 135 minutes = 1:160 p.m., or (recognizing that 120 min = 2 hours)

3:40 p.m.
