Width = 10cm

Length = 25cm

<u>Explanation: </u>

Given, width:length = 2:5

Let width = 2x ,

So, length = 5x

Perimeter of rectangle = 2x(length + width)

According to the question,

70cm = 2X(5x + 2x)\\70cm = 2X(7x)\\35cm = 7x\\x = 5cm

Hence,

Width = 10cm

Length = 25cm

The width of a rectangle is the length minus 4 units. The area of the rectangle is 12 units. What is the width in units of the r
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

width = 2 units

Step-by-step explanation:

If the length of a rectangle is (x) units, then that means that the width of a rectangle is x - 4 units.

the area of a rectangle is length * width

so just substitute the values that we have now.

x (length) * (x-4) width = 12 (area of rectangle)

so that gives us

x^2 - 4x =12

subtract 12 from both sides

x^2 - 4x - 12 =0

now factor this equation

x^2 + 2x - 6x -12 = 0

x(x+2) - 6(x+2) = 0

(x-6)(x+2) = 0

x = 6, or x = -2 REMEMBER THAT VALUE OF x = LENGTH, IT CANNOT BE NEGATIVE AS YOU CANT HAVE NEGATIVE VALUE OF A SIDE

length = 6, and width = 6 -4 = 2

(c) The total number of one centimeter lines in the first n diagrams is given by the expression
trapecia [35]

Answer:

I) f + g = 10/3

II) 4f + 2g = 20/3

III) f = 2 and g = 4/3

Step-by-step explanation:

From the chart,

P = 25

q = 40

The total number of one centimeter lines in the first n diagrams is given by the expression 

2/3n^3 + fn^2 + gn. 

When n = 1, the total number of line = 4. So,

2/3(1)^3 + f(1)^2 + g(1) = 4

2/3 + f + g = 4

Make f+g the subject of formula

f + g = 4 - 2/3

f + g = (12 - 2)/3

f + g = 10/3 ......(1)

When n = 2

Total number of line = 12

2/3(2)^3 + f(2)^2 + g(2) = 12

2/3×8 + 4f + 2g = 12

16/3 + 4f + 2g = 12

4f + 2g = 12 - 16/3

4f + 2g = (36 - 16)/3

4f + 2g = 20/3 ......(2)

(iii) To find the values of f and g, solve equation 1 and 2 simultaneously

f + g = 10/3 × 2

4f + 2g = 32/3

2f + 2g = 20/3

4f + 2g = 32/3

- 2f = - 12/3

f = 12/6

f = 2

Substitutes f in equation 1

f + g = 10/3

2 + g = 10/3

g = 10/3 - 2

g = (10 - 6)/3

g = 4/3

You are hired to work at quickie-mart and will be paid $9.50 per hour 1. Write an income function that describes the amount of m
zzz [600]

Answer:

f(x)=nx

or

f(x)=9.50x

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the amount of hours and n be the hourly rate (9.50).

f(x)=nx

or if you prefer to use 9.50 instead of n, the function would be:

f(x)=9.50x
