Answer:

The width can be 5 ft   or the width can be 4 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter = 2 (l+w)  for a rectangle

Area = l*w for a rectangle

Using perimeter

18 = 2(l+w)

Divide by 2

18/2 = 2/2 (l+w)

9 = l+w

Solving for l

9-w = l

Using area

20 = l*w

Substituing for l

20 = (9-w) * w

20 = 9w - w^2

Subtract 20 from each side

20-20 =-w^2 +9w -20

0 = -w^2 +9w -20

Multiply by -1

0 = w^2 -9w+20

Factor

0 = (w-5) (w-4)

Using the zero product property

w-5 = 0   w-4 = 0

w= 5   w=4

The width can be 5 ft   or the width can be 4 ft

Which statement is true about the graph of two lines y=-6 and x=1/6
Gelneren [198K]
The graph of the line y = -6 is a horizontal line which passes through the y axis at -6. On the other hand, the graph of the equation, x = 1/6 is a vertical line that passes through the x-axis at 1/6. The intersection of these lines is at a point that is expressed as (1/6, -6).
