The length of a rectangle is 3 yd longer than its width. if the perimeter of the rectangle is 50 yd , find its length and width.

1 answer:

7 0

Length = w+3
P = 2L +2W
50 = 2(w+3) + 2w
50 = 2w +6 +2w
50 = 4w +6
50-6 =4w-6
44 = 4w
44/4 = 4w/4
w = 11
l = 11+3
l = 14

50 = 2L+2W
50 = 2(14) + 2(11)
50 = 28 +22
50=50

The gable end of the roof shown is divided in half by a vertical brace. Find the distance h (in ft) from an eave to the peak. 41

nlexa [21]

Answer:

h = 9 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume the diagram is like the one below.

∆ABD is a right triangle.

We can use Pythagoras' Theorem to find the height h.

$\begin{array}{rcl}h^{2} + 40^{2} & = & 41^{2}\\h^{2} + 1600 & = & 1681\\h^{2} & = & 1681 - 1600\\& = &81\\h& = & \sqrt{81}\\&=& \mathbf{9}\end{array}\\\text{The height of the gable is $\large \boxed{\textbf{9 ft}}$}$
