Answer:

Due to the distributive property the expression are the same.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sadie expression is "perimeter = 2*(length + width)", while Eric's is "perimeter = 2*length + 2*width". The value for both is always the same for any rectangle, because the expressions are the same due to the distributive property. To prove this we will expand Sadie's expression as shown below:

perimeter = 2*(length + width)

perimeter = 2*length + 2*width

Which is the same as Eric's.

An oval track is made by erecting semicircles on each end of a 44 m by 88 m rectangle. Find the length of the track and the area
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

The length of the track is 247 m.

The area enclosed by the track is  5391 . 76 sq m.

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of the rectangle  = 88 m

The width of the rectangle  =  44 m

Now, as we know the semicircles are at the end of rectangular track.

So, the diameter of semicircles = Width of the rectangle

⇒ The diameter of the semi circle  = 44 m

⇒Radius of the semi circle  = 44/2 = 22 m

TOTAL LENGTH OF TRACK  

= 2 ( Length of rectangle)  + 2 (Circumference of 1 semicircle)

= 2 x (88 m)  + 2 (\frac{2\pi r}{2})

= 176 m + 2 (3.14)(22 m)  = 176 + 71.08 =  247 m

Hence, the length of the track is 247 m

TOTAL AREA OF TRACK  

= (Area of rectangle)  + 2 (Area of 1 semicircle)

= (Length x Width)  +    2 (\frac{\pi r^2}{2})

=  (44  m x 88 m) +  (3.14)(22 m)(22 m)   = (3872  + 1519.76) sq m

=  5391 . 76 sq m

Hence, the area enclosed by the track is  5391 . 76 sq m.

The ordered pairs are:
<span>{(1, 80), (2, 240), (3, 720), (4, 2160)}

with
a_1 = 80
a_2 = 240
a_3 = 720
a_4 = 2160

The terms are in a geometric sequence with a common ratio of
240/80 = 720/240 = 2160/720 = 3

The equation is:
a_n = 80 * 3^(n - 1)</span>
