X=length
y=width
Area (rectangle)=length x width
we suggest this system of  equations:
y=x/5
xy=9/20
solve this system of equations by substitution method:
x(x/5)=9/20
x²/5=9/20
Least common multiple=20
4x²=9
x²=9/4
x=⁺₋√(9/4)
we have two solutions:
x₁=-3/2   it does not validate
x₂=3/2    ⇒y=x/5=(3/2)/5=3/10

The dimensions of the lake are:
lengh=3/2 miles
width=3/10 miles

to check:
Area=3/2 miles x 3/10 miles=9/20 miles².
width is 1/5 the length of the lake ⇒  3/10 miles=(3/2) /5 miles

Type the correct answer in each box. Round the vector's magnitude to the nearest tenth.
Mama L [17]

Component form of u is (-18,13) and The magnitude of u is 22.2

<h3>What is a vector?</h3>

A vector is a two-dimensional entity with both magnitude and direction. A vector can be visualized geometrically as a directed line segment.

The component form of a vector is an ordered pair that describes the change in x and y values

This is mathematically expressed as (Δx, Δy) where Δx=x₂-x₁ and Δy=y₂-y₁

Given ;

Initial points of the vector as (14,-6)

The terminal point of the vector is (-4,7)

Here x₁=14,x₂=-4, y₁=-6,y₂=7

The component form of the vector u is (-4-14,7--6) =(-18,13)

Finding the Magnitude of the vector

u=√(x₂-x₁)²+(y₂-y₁)²

u=√-18²+13²

u=√324+169

u=√493

u=22.2

Therefore the Component form of u is (-18,13) and The magnitude of u is 22.2
