Find the dimensions of a rectangle with a perimeter of 52cm if it’s length is 4cm more than its width

1 answer:

5 0

So the perimeter(P) of a rectangle would be:
P= 2L+2W
L being the length and W being the width.
The problem says the length is 4cm more than the width, so L= 4+W.
So if we substitute L with 4+W, we get:
P= 2(4+W) + 2W
Use the Distributive Property
P= 8+2W+2W
Combine like terms
P=8+4W
Since we're given the perimeter, we could replace P with 52. So:
52=8+4W
Subtract 8 to both sides
44=4W
Divide 4 to both sides
11=W
Therefore, the width is 11cm
And since the length is 4cm more than the width, we could add 4cm to 11cm to find that the length is 15cm
Thus, the dimensions of the rectangle are 15cm by 11cm

Answer: $\frac{x+6}{x-4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

First you need know some general formuals of factorization such as

$x^3+y^3=(x+y)(x^2-xy+y^2)$ so you have $x^3+64=X^3+4^3=(x+4)(x^2-4x+4^2)$

And, $x^2-y^2=(x-y)(x+y)$ so you have $2x^2-32=2(x^2-16)=2(x^2-4^2)=2(x+4)(x-4)$

If you use them, then you can modify your equations such as

$\frac{x^3+64}{2x^2-32}$ ÷ $\frac{x^2-4x+16}{2x+12}$ = $\frac{(x+4)(x^2-4x+4^2)}{2(x+4)(x-4)}$ ÷ $\frac{x^2-4x+16}{2(x+6)}$ = $\frac{(x+4)(x^2-4x+4^2)}{2(x+4)(x-4)} . \frac{2(x+6)}{{x^2-4x+16}} = \frac{1}{x-4}.\frac{x+6}{1}=\frac{x+6}{x-4}$

A typical television newscast has three cameras. The center camera directly faces the news anchors desk. The other two cameras a

<span>150 degrees. Let's assume the center camera is pointed to at an angle of 0 degrees. Since it has a coverage of 60 degrees, then it will cover the angles from -30 to +30 degrees. Now we'll continue to use the +/- 30 degree coverage for the other two cameras. The second camera is aimed at 45 degrees, so it's range of coverage is 15 degrees to 75 degrees (45 +/- 30). Notice that the range from 15 degrees to 30 degrees is covered by 2 cameras. Now the 3rd camera is pointed at -45 degrees, so its coverage is from -15 degrees to -75 degrees. It also has an overlap with the 1st camera from -15 to -30 degrees. The total coverage of all three cameras ranges from -75 degrees to 75 degrees. That means that an arc of 150 degrees in total is covered by all three cameras.</span>
