If length is x, then width is 6+x
<span>Perimeter = 2*(x + 6+x) = 52 </span>
<span>2*6 + 2*2x = 52 </span>
<span>4x = 52 - 12 = 40 </span>
<span>x = 40/4 = 10 </span>
<span>Area = length*width = 10*(6+10) </span>
<span>Area = 10*16 = 160 meter square</span>
Answer:
Length: 5 ft; width: 4 ft.
Step-by-step explanation:
A = LW formula for area of rectangle
(2x + 1)(2x) = 20 substitute length, width, and area into formula
4x² + 2x - 20 = 0 use the distributive property to multiply out left side
2x² + x - 10 = 0 divide both sides of equation by 2
(2x + 5)(x - 2) = 0 factor out trinomial
2x + 5 = 0 or x - 2 = 0 use zero product rule to solve for x
2x = -5 or x = 2 subtract 5 from both sides; add 2 to both sides
x = -5/2 or x = 2
We discard x = -5/2 since it would give negative length and width, and the length and width cannot be negative.
Length: 2x + 1 = 2(2) + 1 = 5
Width: 2x = 2(2) = 4
Length: 5 ft; width: 4 ft.
Answer:
y = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to find the slope. We do so by choosing any two points and dividing the change in the y-coordinates (their difference) by the change in the x-coordinates (their difference). Let's just choose (1, 3) and (0, 3). The slope is: . So, the slope is 0.
We want to write a line in slope-intercept form, which is: y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept (where the line crosses the y-axis). Here, the slope m = 0. Looking at the graph, we see that the y-intercept is (0, 3), so b = 3. Then, our line is: y = 0x + 3 ⇒ y = 3.
Another note is that this is a horizontal line. One thing to remember is that all horizontal lines have slopes of 0, so their function is simply y = k, where k is a constant through which the line cuts through.
