Collinear points are points that lies on the same straight line. If the points E, F and G are collinear points, then the three points lies on the same straight line.

If E is between F and G, the FE+EG = FG

EG = FG - FE

Given FE = 3 in and FG = 7 in

On substituting into the expression above to get EG;

EG = 7in - 3in

EG = 4in

Hence the length of EG is 4in

A rectangular yoga mat has a perimeter of 179 inches. The width of the mat is eight less than half the length. Find the width, i

lianna [129]

Answer:

The width is $24.5in$

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of the rectangular yoga mat can be found using the formula;

$P=2l+2w$ .

$\Rightarrow 179=2l+2w...(1)$ .

It was given that the width of the mat is eight less than half the length.

$w=\frac{1}{2}l-8...(2)$

We put equation (2) into equation (1) to get;

$179=2l+2(\frac{1}{2}l-8)$ .

$\Rightarrow 179=2l+l-16$ .

$\Rightarrow 179+16=2l+l$ .

$\Rightarrow 3l=195$

Divide both sides by 3;

$l=65$

We put $l=65$ into equation 2 to get;

$w=\frac{1}{2}\times65-8$

$w=32.5-8$

$w=24.5in$
