Let x,y be the dimensions of the rectangle. We know the equations for both area and perimeter:

A=xy=36

P=2(x+y)=36 \iff x+y=18

So, we have  the following system:

\begin{cases}xy=36\\x+y=18\end{cases}

From the second equation, we can deduce

y=18-x

Plug this in the first equation to get

xy=x(18-x)=-x^2+18=36

Refactor as

x^2-18x+36=0

And solve with the usual quadratic formula to get

x=9\pm3\sqrt{5}

Both solutions are feasible, because they're both positive.

If we chose the positive solution, we have

x=9+3\sqrt{5} \implies y=18-x=18-9-3\sqrt{5}=9-3\sqrt{5}

If we choose the negative solution, we have

x=9-3\sqrt{5} \implies y=18-x=18-9+3\sqrt{5}=9+3\sqrt{5}

So, we're just swapping the role of x and y. The two dimensions of the rectangle are 9+3\sqrt{5} and 9-3\sqrt{5}

A lawyer charges for her services based on the number of hours worked. The expression gives the total cost for h hours is 200h+2
zhannawk [14.2K]
H is the number of hours worked. So the expression 200h+250 is 200 times the number of hours plus 250.

Here's a few computations using different values for h

1 hour --> (200)(1)+250 = 450
2 hours --> (200)(2) + 250 = 650
3 hours --> (200)(3)+250 = 850
10 hours --> (200)(10)+250 = 2250

As you can see the 250 is fixed. It gets added to the cost no matter how many hours the lawyer works. This is most likely a flat fee. Just to meet the lawyer you pay $250.

The 200 gets multiplied by the hours worked. So the 200 is an hourly rate. The more hours the lawyer works, the more he gets paid because this part of the expression depends on the hours worked.

Thus, an interpretation of the expression 200h + 250 is that the lawyer charges a fee of $250 per consultation and an additional $200 per hour on top of that.

J.K. Rowling and R.L. Stine are both reading the hunger games. J.K. reads 35 pages every 2 hours and R.L. reads 45 pages every 3
Lilit [14]

Attention:THIS IS PART B <em>ONLY!</em>

First,find the unit rate.

35/2   and   <em>x</em>/1

35 divided by 2 = 17.5 so the unit rate for J.K. is 17.5 pages per hour.

now,R.L.

45/3   and  <em>x</em>/1

45 divided by 3 = 15 so the unit rate for R.L. is 15 pages per hour

now we need to divide 355 by 17.5 and divide it by 15.Whichever quotient is smaller,finishes the book first

355 divided by 17.5 = about 20 hrs----J.K.

355 divided by 15 = about 24 hrs-----R.L.

So,who read faster?
