So,

The problem tells us that the length of the rectangle is 5 feet more than twice the width.
Mathematically:
length = 5 + 2width
l = 5 + 2w


We know that the perimeter is 2l + 2w.
2l + 2w = 130

2(5 + 2w) + 2w = 130

Distribute
10 + 4w + 2w = 130

Collect Like Terms
10 + 6w = 130

Subtract 10 from both sides
6w = 120

Divide both sides by 6
w = 20

The width is 20.


Since
l = 5 + 2w

Substitute
l = 5 + 2(20)

Multiply
l = 5 + 40

Collect Like Terms
l = 45

The length is 45.

Check
2l + 2w = 130

2(45) + 2(20) = 130

90 + 40 = 130

130 = 130

Width: 20 ft.
Length: 45 ft.

Find BD.<br> help me pls
Anna [14]

Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

We can see that Ar is the perpendicular bisector of chord BD. Since A is the center of the circle, AR is the radius of the circle, which is 10 (6+4)

Next, we can see that when we connect point A to point D, it is also a radius. Thus, AD is also equal to 10 as the radius of the circle remains the same.

Using Pythagoras theorem, a^2 + b^2 = c^2, we can make a right angled triangle of ACD.

AC = 6 = a

CD = ? = b

AD = 10 = c

10^2 = 6^2 + b^2

b^2 = 10^2 - 6^2 = 64

b = CD = 8

Now, since Ar is the perpendicular bisector of chord BD, BD = CD x 2

BD = 8 x 2 = <u>16</u>

If g(x) = 2(x − 4), find the value of x if g(x) = 20. 32 12
nlexa [21]

Answer:

The value of x is 14

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

g(x)=2(x-4) ------> equation A

In this problem we have

g(x)=20

Substitute the value of g(x) in the equation A and solve for x

20=2(x-4)

Divide by 2 both sides

20/2=2(x-4)/2

10=(x-4)

Adds 4 both sides

10+4=(x-4)+4

x=14
