Answer:

The dimension of the rectangle

Length =  20 inches

Breadth = 18 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The perimeter of rectangle  =   76 inches

Perimeter of the newly formed rectangle = 112 inches

To Find:

Dimensions of the original rectangle = ?

Solution:

The perimeter rectangle

=> 2(L+B) =76 inches -----------------------(1)

If two of the boxes are placed next to each other on the long side the new box is a rectangle shape is formed

Then the perimeter of the new rectangle box  will  be

=> 2(L+B) + 2(L+B) - 2L =  112--------------------(2)

Substituting (1) in(2)

=> 76+ 76 - 2L =  112

=>156 -2L =112

=>2L = 156 -112

=> 2L = 40

=> L= \frac{40}{2}

=>L = 20

Substituting L =20 in eq(1)

=> 2(20+B) =76

=> (40 +2B) = 76

=>2B = 76-40

=> 2B =36

=> B = \frac {36}{2}

=> B = 18

Solve the inequality for u.<br> 22≤-4u-2<br> Simplify your answer as much as possible.
larisa [96]

Answer:

<u>u ≤ -6</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

  • 22 ≤ -4u - 2

Add 2 on both sides :

  • 22 + 2 ≤ -4u - 2  + 2
  • -4u ≥ 24

Divide both sides by -4 (remember the sign changes direction when divided by a negative number) :

  • -4u/-4 ≥ 24/-4
  • <u>u ≤ -6</u>

Determine if line AB and line CD are parallel, perpendicular, or neither.
choli [55]

Answer:

AB and CD are parallel lines

Step-by-step explanation:

• Parallel lines have equal slopes

• The slopes of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals

Calculate the slope m using the gradient formula

m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )

let (x₁, y₁ ) = A(1, 4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = B(3, 8)

m = \frac{8-4}{3-1} = \frac{4}{2} = 2

let (x₁, y₁ ) = C(- 1, 6) and (x₂, y₂ ) = D(3, 14)

m = \frac{14-6}{3+1} = \frac{8}{4} = 2

Since slope of AB and CD are equal then lines are parallel
