Let
x----------> the length of the rectangle
y---------> the width of the rectangle

we know that
perimeter of rectangle=2*[x+y]
area of rectangle=x*y
P=81 ft
so
81=2*[x+y]-----------> 40.5=[x+y]

case <span>A) 20.25 feet × 20.25 feet
P=2*[20.25+20.25]-----> 81 ft----------> the perimeter is ok
A=20.25*20.25-----> 410.06 ft</span>²

case <span>B) 11 feet × 29.5 feet
</span>P=2*[11+29.5]-----> 81 ft----------> the perimeter is ok
A=11*29.5-----> 324.5 ft²

case <span>C) 9 feet × 9 feet
</span>P=2*[9+9]-----> 36 ft----------> the perimeter is not 81
A=9*9-----> 81 ft²

case <span>D) 17.5 feet × 23 feet
</span>P=2*[17.5+23]-----> 81 ft----------> the perimeter is ok
A=17.5*23-----> 402.5 ft²

the answer is
case A) 20.25 feet × 20.25 feet

A car is traveling at 20.0 m/s, and the driver sees a traffic light. turn red. After 0.530 s (the reaction time), the driver app
slava [35]
Before the driver applies the brakes ( with the reaction time ):
d 1 = v0 · t = 20 m/s · 0.53 s = 10.6 m
After that: 
v = v0 - a · t1  
0 = 20 m/s - 7 · t1
7 · t1 = 20
t1 = 2.86 s
d 2 = v 0 · t1 - a · t1² / 2
d 2 = 20 m/s · 2.86 s - 7 m/s² · (2.86 s)²/2 = 57.2 m - 28.6 m = 28.6 m
d = d 1 + d 2 = 10.6 m + 28.6 m = 39.2 m
Answer: the stopping distance of a car is 39.2 m.

Algebra 2 help please
suter [353]

Blank 1: 3

Blank 2: 27

Blank 3: 21

you have to distribute the three to everything inside the parenthesis, and because it's directly in front of the parenthesis it's being multiplied.

3(x - 9) = 3x - 27

Now you need to isolate the y, in this e ample you need to add 6 to both sides

the final equation should be:

y = 3x - 21
