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.

Use pencil and paper to create a table of values for the equation, x - 2y = 6. Rearrange the equation into the y = mx + b form.
Lunna [17]

Answer:

y = 1/2x -3

x=-2 ⇒ y =  -4

x=-1 ⇒ y =  -3.5

x=0 ⇒ y =  -3

x=1 ⇒ y =  -2.5

x=2 ⇒ y = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to isolate y:

x - 2y = 6

-2y =6-x

y = (6-x)/-2

y = -3+1/2x

y = 1/2x -3  

Now, we have to create a table with the next values (see attachment)

x=-2 ⇒ y = 1/2x -3 = 1/2(-2)-3= -4

x=-1 ⇒ y = 1/2x -3 = 1/2(-1)-3= -3.5

x=0 ⇒ y = 1/2x -3 = 1/2(0)-3= -3

x=1 ⇒ y = 1/2x -3 = 1/2(1)-3= -2.5

x=2 ⇒ y = 1/2x -3 = 1/2(2)-3= -2

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.

What are the next three terms of the sequence below?
vichka [17]

<u>Answer:</u>

  • 64, 256, 1024 (D)

<u>Step-by-step </u><u>Explanation</u><u>:</u>

The sequence is following some rule. And the rule is: Multiplying the term with 4 to get the next term. Like:

  • 1 × 4 = 4
  • 4 \times 4 = 16

Similarly, the next terms are:

  • 16 \times 4 = 64
  • 64 \times 4 = 256
  • 256 \times 4 = 1024

The terms are <u>6</u><u>4</u><u>,</u><u> </u><u>2</u><u>5</u><u>6</u><u>,</u><u> </u><u>1</u><u>0</u><u>2</u><u>4</u> which matches with Option D. And that's the correct answer
