The width of the rug is 9 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of rug = 42 feet

Lengths are same in square and rectangle shapes; therefore;

Length of rug = 12 feet

Width of rug = w

Perimeter = Length + Length + Width + Width

Perimeter = 12+12+w+w

42=24+2w\\42-24=2w\\18=2w\\2w=18

Dividing both sides by 2

\frac{2w}{2}=\frac{18}{2}\\w=9

The width of the rug is 9 feet.

Draw the graphs of the equations x – y = 1 and 2x + y = 8. Shade the area bounded by these two lines and y-axis. Also, determine
NikAS [45]

Answer:

Using Geometry to answer the question would be the simplest:

Step-by-step explanation:

Remembering the formula for the area of a triangle which is A=\frac12bh. One can then tackle the question by doing the following:

Step 1 Find the y-intercepts

The y-intercepts are found by substituting in x=0.

Which gives you this when you plug it into both equations:

-y=1\\y=-1\\y=8

So the y-intercepts for the graphs are (0,-1)\\, and (0,8) respectively.

Now one has to use elimination to solve the problems by adding up the equations we get:

x-y=1\\2x+y=8\\3x=9\\x=3

Now to solve for the y component substitute:

2(3)+y=8\\y=2

Therefore, the graphs intersect at the following:

(3,2)

Now we have our triangle which is accompanied by the graph.

now to solve it we must figure out how long the base is:

b=8-(-1)\\b=9

The height must also be accounted for which is the following:

h=3

Now the formula can be used:

A=\frac12bh=\frac12(9)(3)=\frac{27}2\ \text{units}^2
