Distance = sqrt [ (7.5 - -3.0)^2 + (-7.5 - .5)^2) ]
= sqrt 17,226.56 = 131.25 (answer)
Asimply measure its length. What else could you measure? After all, length is the only feature a segment has. You’ve got your short, your medium, and your long segments.
Step-by-step explanation:
length
-18 and +2

--------------------------------------------------
Define length and width
--------------------------------------------------
Let x be the width
width = x
Length = 2x + 4
--------------------------------------------------
Formula
--------------------------------------------------
Perimeter = 2(length + width)
--------------------------------------------------
Find Length and width
--------------------------------------------------
62 = 2(2x + 4 + x)
62 = 2(3x + 4) <em> ← combine like terms </em>
62 = 6x + 8 <em>← remove bracket </em>
62 - 8 = 6x <em>← minus 8 on both sides </em>
6x = 54 <em> ← swap sides </em>
x = 54 ÷ 6 <em>← divide by 6 on both sides</em>
<em>x = 9 m</em>
--------------------------------------------------
Find Length and Width
--------------------------------------------------
Width = x = 9 m
Length = 2x + 4 = 2(9) + 4 = 22 m
--------------------------------------------------
Answer: Length = 22m
