L = 2.3 + W

2W + 2L = P

2W + 2(2.3 + W) = 53

2W + 4.6 + 2W = 53

4W + 4.6 = 53

4W = 48.4

4W/4 = 48.4/4

W = 12.1

Answer:

The width is 12.1 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

So, we know that the perimeter is 53 meters, and that the length is 2.3 meters longer than the width (length = width + 2.3 meters). The equation for the perimeter of a rectangle is

P = 2(l + w)

where P is the perimeter, l is the length, and w is the width. Lets plug in 53 for P (because the perimeter is 53 meters) and w + 2.3 for l (because the length is 2.3 meters longer than the width) into the equation.

53 = 2(w + 2.3 + w)

This would be the equation to find the width.

Now solve for the width:

53 = 2(w + 2.3 + w)

Distribute the 2

53 = 2w + 4.6 + 2w

Simplify

53 = 4w + 4.6

Subtract 4.6 from both sides.

48.4 = 4w

Divide 4 from both sides.

12.1 = w

w = 12.1

(Remember, the width should be in meters because the length and the perimeter is in meters.)

The width is 12.1 meters.

I hope you find this helpful. :)

A ramp with a constant incline is made to connect a driveway to the front door and 4 feet from the driveway the height of the ra
mafiozo [28]

The <em><u>correct answer</u></em> is:

3 inches up per foot across

Explanation:

To find the rate of change, we must find the change in height and the change in length.  The rate of change is then written as rise/run, or

(change in height)/(change in length).

The heights at the two given points are 18 inches and 12 inches.  This gives us a change of 18-12 = 6 inches.

The lengths at the two given points are 6 feet and 4 feet.  This gives us a change of 6-4 = 2 feet.

This makes our rate of change (6 inches)/(2 feet); this can then be simplified to (3 inches)/(1 foot), which means it goes up 3 inches for every foot of driveway length.
