Draw a rectangle that has a area of a square Units and a perimeter of 12 units what are the side length of the rectangle

Let s represent the length of one side of this rectangle, and w represent the width of the rectangle (length of one end).  Then 2s + 2w = 12 units, and the area is a = s*w.  Using the previous equation we can eliminate either s or w.  Since we want s, eliminate w:  2w = 12 - 2s, or w = 6 - s.

Then the area of the rect. is a = s(6 - s) = 6s - s^2.

You have not shared the actual area of the rect., but have represented it by "a."

Suppose that the area is given and is 90.  Then 90 square units = 6s - s^2, so that -s^2 + 6s - 90 = 0.  Using the Pyth. Thm., we find s as follows:

       -6 plus or minus sqrt( 6^2 - 4(-1)(-90)
s = ---------------------------------------------------
                            2(-1)

Unfortunately, s would come out as a pair of complex numbers, which is not possible in a situation where you're calculating lengths.

Please recheck this problem.  Was the aera of the rectangle, a, given?

I'm really confused about this but how do you solve problems with finding the slope of a line pls I need help with a whole front
faust18 [17]
To find the slope you use the slope formula y2-y1 / x2-x1. So use two point on the line we will make ours (1,2) and (3,4). Substitute to make 4-2 / 3-1 = 1/1 so using the rise over run method. The line rises up one and runs by one. The slash mark means divide, it's easiest in a fraction.

Also if you come across the equation y=mx+b, m is the slope and b is the y-intercept, this is called slope intercept formula.

Select the correct answer.
Radda [10]

Answer:

(-1\frac{1}{3}, 4\frac{3}{5})

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the exact solution, find the equation for each line. And solve for x and y.

To do this, represent each equation in the slope-intercept form, y = mx + b. Where m is the slope, and b is the y-intercept.

✍️Equation 1 for the line that slopes upwards from left to your right:

Slope = m = \frac{rise}{run} = \frac{2}{1} = 2

b = the point at which the y-axis is intercepted by the line = 7

Substitute m = 2 and b = 7 in y = mx + b

Equation 1 would be:

✔️y = 2x + 7

✍️Equation 2 for the line that slopes downwards from left to your right:

Slope = m = \frac{rise}{run} = -\frac{3}{1} = -3

b = the point at which the y-axis is intercepted by the line = 1

Substitute m = -3 and b = 1 in y = mx + b

✔️Equation 2 would be:

y = -3x + 1

✍️Solve for x and y:

✔️To solve for x, substitute y = -3x + 1 in equation 1.

y = 2x + 7

-3x + 1 = 2x + 7

Collect like terms

-3x - 2x = 7 - 1

-5x = 6

Divide both sides by -5

x = \frac{6}{-5} = -1\frac{1}{5}

✔️To solve for y, substitute x = -1⅕ in equation 2.

y = -3x + 1

y = -3\frac{-6}{5} + 1

y = \frac{18}{5} + 1

y = \frac{18 + 5}{5}

y = \frac{23}{5}

y = 4\frac{3}{5}

✅The exact solution would be: (-1\frac{1}{3}, 4\frac{3}{5})
