Write an equation from the information given: A rectangle is twice as long as it is wide. The perimeter of the rectangle is 18.

Mathematics

Let width = x, Therefore the length must equal 2x

Therefore insert these values on the sides of a rectangle.

Add: 2x + 2x + x + x = 18

Therefore 6x = 18

x = 3

Answer:

<h2>1. x = 4</h2><h2>2. x = 20</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

1.

ΔABC and ΔAJK are similar (AA). Therefore the sides are in proportion:

\dfrac{AC}{AJ}=\dfrac{AB}{AK}

We have:

AC = 1 + 4 = 5

AJ = 1

AB = 1 + x

AK = 1

Substitute:

\dfrac{5}{1}=\dfrac{1+x}{1}

5=1+x           <em>subtract 1 from both sides</em>

4=x\to x=4

2.

ΔVUT and ΔVMN are similar (AA). Therefore the sides are in proportion:

\dfrac{VU}{VM}=\dfrac{VT}{VN}

We hve:

VU = x + 8

VM = x

VT = 49

VN = 49 - 14 = 35

Substitute:

\dfrac{x+8}{x}=\dfrac{49}{35}              <em>cross multiply</em>

35(x+8)=49x          <em>use the distributive property a(c + b) = ab + ac</em>

35x+280=49x              <em>subtract 35x from both sides</em>

280=14x         <em>divide both sides by 14</em>

20=x\to x=20

Write the equation of a line, in SLOPE INTERCEPT FORM, that is perpendicular to the given equation and passes through the given
adoni [48]

Step-by-step explanation:

slope interception formula is

y-y1=m(x-x1)

where m is m=y-y1/x-x1 in this case m=-2 because the line we are trying to find is parallel to the given one y=-2x-6 where slope k=-2

so the final equation would be

y-1=-2(x-(-4))

y-1=-2x-2*4

y=-2x-8+1=-2x-7
