Answer:

l = 44 ft

w = 20 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter is

P = 2 ( l+w)

The width is

w = l -24

We know the perimeter is 128 and substituting into the equation for perimeter

128 = 2 ( l + l-24)

128 = 2 ( 2l -24)

Divide by 2

128/2 = 2/2 ( 2l-24)

64 = 2l - 24

Add 24 t o each sdie

64+24 = 2l

88 = 2l

Divide by 2

44 =l

The length is 44

Now find w

w = l - 24

w = 44-24

w = 20

Answer:

\boxed{l=44 \: \mathrm{feet},  \: \: w=20 \: \mathrm{feet}}

Step-by-step explanation:

The width (w) = l - 24

The length (l) = l

The perimeter (P) = 128

The shape is a rectangle. Use the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle.

P = 2w + 2l

Plug in the values.

128 = 2(l - 24) + 2l

Solve for l.

Expand brackets.

128 = 2l - 48 + 2l

Combine like terms

128 = 4l - 48

Add 48 on both sides.

176 = 4l

Divide both sides by 4.

44 = l

Apply formula again.

P = 2l + 2w

Solve for w.

Subtract 2w and P on both sides.

-2w = 2l - P

Divide both sides by -2.

w = -l + P/2

Plug in the values for l and P, solve for w.

w = -(44) + 128/2

w = -44 + 64

w = 20

The length is 44 feet.

The width is 20 feet.

A 34-foot pole casts a 30-foot shadow. At the same time, a nearby tree casts a 24-foot shadow. How tall is the tree?
artcher [175]

Answer:

27.2 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's set up a ratio that represents the problem:

Object's Height (ft) : Shadow (ft)

Substitute with the dimensions of the 34 foot pole and its 30 foot shadow.

34 : 30

Find the unit rate:

The unit rate is when one number in a ratio is 1.

Let's make the Shadow equal to one by dividing by 30 on both sides.

Object's Height (ft) : Shadow (ft)

34 : 30

/30  /30

1.13 : 1

Now, let's multiply by 24 on both sides to find the height of the tree.

Multiply:

Object's Height (ft) : Shadow (ft)

1.13 : 1

x24  x24

27.2 : 24

Therefore, the tree is 27.2 feet tall.
