The formula for perimeter of a rectangle is P=2L+2W where L is the length and w is the width. A rectangle has a perimeter of 24

inches. Find its dimensions if its length is 4 inches greater than its width.

24=2(w+4)+2w=4w+8, subtract 8 from both sides 4w=16, w=4. L=w+4 so l is 8. The dimensions are 8 by 4.

Point p’ (1,5) is the image of p (-3,1) under a translation<br><br> khan academy

GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

<h2>X = $\frac{-x}{3}$ </h2><h2>Y = 5y.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the translation for which, (-3, 1) becomes (1, 5).

-3 will become 1, if it is divided by -3.

Hence, the translation for x axis is X = $\frac{-x}{3}$ .

1 will become 5, when it is multiplied by 5.

Hence, The translation for y axis is Y = 5y.

Directed line segment AB has endpoints A(2,3) and B(8,15). Point P has coordinated P(6,11). What ratio does P partition AB into?

Vladimir79 [104]

Refer to the graph shown below. It confirms that points A, B and P are
collinear.

Calculate the length of AP (as a).
a = √[(6 - 2)² + (11 - 3)²]
= 8.9443

Calculate the length of BP (as b).
b = √[(8 - 6)² + (15 - 11)²]
= 4.4721

Calculate ratio a/b.
a/b = 8.9443/4.4721 = 2
Therefore P partitions AB in a 2:1 ratio so that AP = 2*BP.

Answer: 2:1 ratio.

X - 2y < 2<br> graph the inequality

Korvikt [17]

Answer:

y > 1/2x - 1

First, draw the dashed line y = 1/2x - 1 (slope intercept ; y = mx + b).

Start at -1 on the y-axis, and continue going 2 units to the right, and 1 unit up for the right side of the graph.

Then starting at -1 on the y-axis, continue going 2 units to the left, and 1 unit down for the left side of the graph.

Explanation:

Convert standard form (Ax + By = C) by isolating y from the rest of the equation.

Ax + By = C → y = -Ax/B + C/B → y = mx + b.

Given a standard form equation in inequality form,

x - 2y < 2.

Set it to slope-intercept as an inequality to find the slope and y-intercept.

When negating (making opposite) a variable, you flip the inequality.

x - 2y < 2 → x - 2y - x < 2 - x → -2y < -x + 2 → 2y > x - 2 → <u>y > 1/2x - 1</u><u>.</u>
