3 RIGHT TRIANGLES
1 big right triangle is divided into 2 smaller ones. Medium
and small.
<span> a.How far is the spot on the beach from the parking lot? </span>
Medium triangle: long leg = 32 m ; short leg = x
Small triangle: long leg = x ; short leg = 18m
32/x = x/18
32*18 = x*x
576 = x²
√576 = √x²
24 = x
Parking lot to the beach is 24 meters.
<span>b. How far will he have to walk from the parking lot to get to the refreshment stand?</span>
Use Pythagorean theorem:
Medium triangle: long leg = 32 m ; short leg = 24 m ;
hypotenuse = ?
32²+ 24² = c²
1024 + 576 = c²
1600 = c²
√1600 = √c²
40 m = c
Parking lot to refreshment stand is 40 meters.

The rectangle has a perimeter P of 58 inches.The length l is one more than 3 times the width w.write and solve a system of linear equations to find the length and width of the rectangle?
Answer:
Length(L)=22 inches
Width(W) = 7 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
GIven:-
Perimeter (p)=58 inches,
Length(L)= one more than 3 times the width(W)
Let, W=x ---------------------------------(equation 1
-----------------------(equation 2)
Here x is unknown and to find the Width(W) we have to find the value of x.
Now,
Perimeter of rectangle(p) = 2 times length(L) + 2 times width(W)
----------------(from equation 1)
----------------(given p=58 inches)
----------------------(equation 3)
Now substituting the value of equation 3 in equation 2.
as, 
-----------------------(from equation 1)
inches -------------------(equation 3)
Therefore, Length(L) = 22 inches and Width(W) = 7 inches.
It is -25
