Answer:

L = 97, w = 27

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter formula is P = 2L + 2w.  We have too many unknowns simply to plug in, so we have to find a way to identify one in terms of the other.  The statement is that the length is 16 feet more than 3 times the width, so the length is in terms of the width and can be identified as

L = 3w + 16

and the width, then, is just w.  Now we can fill in those 2 values, both in terms of w, and set it to equal the perimeter value we were given of 248:

2(3w + 16) + 2w = 248 and

6w + 32 + 2w = 248 and

8w + 32 = 248 and

8w = 216 so

w = 27

That means that the width is 27.  Use that value of w now to find the length where

L = 3w + 16.

L = 3(27) + 16 and

L = 97

Answer:

15.6 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we want to find the length of the missing side

Mathematically, we can use Pythagoras’ theorem

The theorem states that the square of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares of the two other sides

Let the missing side be x

18 is the side that faces right angle and this is the hypotenuse

Thus, we have ;

x^2 + 9^2 = 18^2

x^2 = 324 - 81

x^2 = 243

x = √(243)

x = 15.6 in

Determine if the following table represents a quadratic function.
snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

<em>The options are not visible enough (See Explanation)</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x:-  1   || 2   || 3   || 4   || 5

y:-  13 || 22 || 37 || 58 || 85

Required

Determine if the function is quadratic

Calculate the difference between the values of y

Difference = 22 - 13 = 9

Difference = 37 - 22 = 15

Difference = 58 - 37 = 21

Difference = 85 - 58 = 27

<em>The resulting difference are: 9 || 15 || 21 ||  27</em>

Next; Calculate the difference between the difference of values of y

Difference = 15 - 9 = 6

Difference = 21 - 15 = 6

Difference = 27 - 21 = 6

<em>The resulting difference are: 6 || 6 || 6</em>

<em>For the function to be quadratic, the above difference must be the same and since they are the same (6), then the function represents a quadratic function.</em>
