The length of a rectangle is three times it's width. If the width is diminished by 1 m and length is increased by 3 m, the area

of the rectangle that is formed is 72 m². Find the dimensions of the original rectangle.

Answer: the length is 15 m and the width is 5 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let L represent the original length of the rectangle.

Let W represent the original width of the rectangle.

The length of a rectangle is three times it's width. This means that

L = 3W

If the width is diminished by 1 m and length is increased by 3 m, the area of the rectangle that is formed is 72 m². This means that

(L + 3)(W - 1) = 72

LW - L + 3W - 3 - 72 = 72 + 3

LW - L + 3W = 75 - - - - -- - - - - - 1

Substituting L = 3W into equation 1, it becomes

3W × W - 3W + 3W = 75

3W² = 75

W² = 75/3 = 25

W = √25 = ±5

The width cannot be negative. Therefore, the width is 5 m

L = 3W = 3 × 5 = 15 m

Reflection<br>Please help me
neonofarm [45]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I'll do three of these. I'll try and vary them as much as possible.

Number 1

Remark

Read this carefully.

Rule: If you are reflecting across the line y= x (which you are) the rule is Point (x,y) becomes point (y,x). So now you have to set up a table using this transformation.

Now you have to follow the example most carefully. Notice how x and y are interchanged. There is no sign change with this example.

Given points             Transforms into

  • (1,-2)        ========> (-2,1)
  • (2,-1)        ========> (-1,2)  
  • (3,-3)       ========>  (-3,3)

The diagram for this transformation is on the left.

Question Two

I'm going to  take a chance here and say that the reflection takes place across y = - x (Your diagram is cut off).

If I am right, then the rule is

Rule for line y = -x

Rule: The point (x,y) transforms into (-y,-x) What that means is that you interchange x and y. While you are at it, you put minus signs in front of x and y when they switched.

Diagram Points                  Switched points.

  • (-4,-1)  ================>  (1,4)
  • (-4,-5) ================>  (5,4)
  • (-2,-5) ================>  (5,2)
  • (-2,-4) ================>  (4,4)
  • (-4,-1) ================>   (4,1)

Problem 5

This is a reflection across the x axis.

Rule: the object reflected across the x axis will <em>not</em> change the x value but the y value will become -y

Diagram points                      Switched Points

  • (1, - 1)   ====================>  (1,1)  
  • (4, -1)   ====================>   (4,1)
  • (3, -5)   ====================>  (3,5)

The end of a hose was resting on the ground, pointing up an angle. Sal measured the path of the water coming out of the hose and
Travka [436]

Answer:

3.2 feet


Step-by-step explanation:

The equation  f(x)=-0.3x^{2}+2x  shows the height of water [f(x)] and horizontal distance [x].

<em>Given the </em><em>horizontal distance is 4 feet</em><em>, they want to know the height.</em>


<em>Simply put 4 in x of the equation and solve for f(x). So,</em>

<em>f(x)=-0.3(4)^{2}+2(4)\\f(x)=3.2</em>

So, the height of the water was 3.2 feet above the ground.
