Let the length of the rectangle be L and the width be W.

Given that the length is twice the width, Then :

L = 2W .....(1)

But we know that the perimeter is 36.

==> 2L + 2W = 36

==> 2L + L = 36

==> 3L = 36

==> L = 36/3 = 12

==> W = 12/2 = 6

Now we will calculate the area:

==> A = L * W = 12* 6 = 72 square feet.

Then the area of the rectangle is 72 square feet.

I am 100% sure that that would be the answer!!

An orchard owner wants to plant 64 cherry tree seedlings and 96 peach tree seedlings in rows. Each row is to have the same numbe

-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

Given:

cherry tree seedlings : 64

peach tree seedlings : 96

64/96 : Simplify this fraction

64 / 8 = 8 / 4 = 2

96 / 8 = 12 / 4 = 3

2 and 3 number of seedlings per row

64 / 2 = 32

96 / 3 = 32

number of rows

The maximum number of rows that the owner can plant is 32 rows with 2 cherry tree seedlings and 3 peach tree seedlings.

The points , (−15,1) and , (−7,r) lie on a line with slope 5/4. Find the missing coordinate r. Click image to enlarge

Nadya [2.5K]

The missing coordinate r is 11.

Solution:

Given points are (–15, 1) and (–7, r).

$x_{1}=-15, x_{2}=-7, y_{1}=1 \text { and } y_{2}=7$

Slope (m) = $\frac{5}{4}$

To find the missing coordinate r:

Slope formula:

$m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

Substitute the given values in the formula.

$$\frac{5}{4}=\frac{r-1}{-7-(-15)}$

$$\frac{5}{4}=\frac{r-1}{-7+15}$

$$\frac{5}{4}=\frac{r-1}{8}$

Do cross multiplication.

$8 \times 5=4(r-1)$

40 = 4r – 4

Add 4 on both side of the equation.

44 = 4r

Divide by 4 on both side of the equation.

11 = r

⇒ r = 11

Hence the missing coordinate r is 11.
