If the length is 2ft longer than it’s width
Let’s assume width as X and so the length will be X+2
Perimeter=40ft
Putting the values into a equation, we get,
X+2+X=40
=2X+2=40
=2X=38
=X=19
Therefore
Length =X+2=19+2
=21ft
Width=X=19ft
Area of rectangle =lxb
= 21x19
3992ft
HOPE IT WAS HELPFUL :)

Describe and correct the error the student made when writing the equation of the line that passes through (-8,5)

pshichka [43]

Option D (The student should have used as the slope of the perpendicular line.) is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to identify the error that the student made in finding equation of the line that passes through (-8,5) and is perpendicular to y = 4x + 2

The slope of the required line would me -1/m because both lines are perpendicular.

So, slope of new line will be: -1/4

because the equation of slope-intercept form is: $y=mx+b$ where m is the slope

Now, for finding equation the student used point slope form i.e $y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

where y_1 and x_1 are the points and m is the slope.

Putting values:

x_1=-8, y_1=5 and m=-1/4

$y-5=-\frac{1}{4}(x-(-8))\\y-5=-\frac{1}{4}(x+8)\\y-5=-\frac{1x}{4}-2\\y=-\frac{1x}{4}-2+5\\y=-\frac{1x}{4}+3$

This is the correct solution.

The student made error by using the wrong slope he used 2 instead of -1/4

in the step $y-5 = 2(x-(-8))$

So, Option D (The student should have used as the slope of the perpendicular line.) is correct.

I really need help with this last problem

gogolik [260]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Profit, p, earned from selling x hats when hat will be sold for $12 each:

p = 12x

b. To recover the cost of making the 200 hats which is $1500, profit, p >= cost:

p = 12x >= 1500

x >= 1500/12 = 12.5

So the minimum number of hats that must be sold = 13

c. New hat price = $15 so p = 15x

p = 15x >= 1500

x >= 1500/15 = 10

So the new minimum = 10 which is 3 fewer.
