The length of a rectangle is 2 ft longer than its width.

1 answer:

6 0

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 :)

4. Name the first five terms of the arithmetic sequence. a1 = -35, d=4

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We first have to write the equation for the sequence, then finding the first five terms will be easy. Follow the formatting:

$a_n=a_1+d(n-1)$ and we are given enough info to fill in:

$a_n=-35+4(n-1)$ and

$a_n=-35+4n-4$ and

$a_n=-39+4n$ or in linear format:

$a_n=4n-39$ where n is the position of the number in the sequence. We already know the first term is -35.

The second term:

$a_2=4(2)-39$ so

$a_2=8-39$ and

$a_2=-31$

The third term:

$a_3=4(3)-39$ and

$a_3=12-39$ so

$a_3=-27$ and we could go on like this forever, but the nice thing about this is when we know the difference all we have to do is add it to each number to get to the next number.
