Answer:

The rectangle dimensions are 20 m by 80 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let W represent the width and L the length. Then W = 0.25L.

The perimeter, P, is 200 m. The formula for that is P = 2W + 2L.

Substituting 0.25L for W, we get:

2(0.25L) + 2L = 200 m, or (after mult. both sides by 2): L + 4L = 400 m

Then 5L = 400 m, and L = 80 m. Thus, W = 0.25(80 m) = 20 m.

The rectangle dimensions are 20 m by 80 m

Olegator [25]

Answer:

Option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the below figure attached with this question.

Scenario 1 represented by the graph.

From the graph it is clear that the line passes through the points (1,60) and (2,120).

Slope of the line is

$y=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

$y=\dfrac{120-60}{2-1}=60$

The slope of line is 60. It means the speed is 60 miles per hour.

Scenario 2 defined by the equation,

$y=50x$

If an equation defined as $y=mx+b$ , then m is slope and b is y-intercept.

$m=50$

The slope of line is 50. It means the speed is 50 miles per hour.

The slope of Scenario 1 is greater than slope of Scenario 2. So, the Scenario 1 shows the greater speed.

Hence, the correct option is A.

How do you use the distance formula and slope formula to find the lengths of a quadrilateral?

Natasha_Volkova [10]

The distance formula to find the length of the sides... opposite sides equal it could be a rectangle or parallelogram all sides equal, square or rhombus adjacent equal, kite and then the slope is used to check angles if the product of the 2 lines in -1 the lines are perpendicular (right angle) the slopes of 2 lines are the same the sides are parallel. Hope it helps.

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Jake found that 39 students in his school could play the guitar and 17 of those students could play the piano
Can play guitar and piano-=17 ---->top left
Can play guital total= 39 ------> top right
Which mean
Can play guitar but cant play piano= 39-17=22 ------> top middle

There were 8 students who could not play the guitar but knew how to play the piano.
Can play piano but can't play guitar= 8 ---->middle left
Can play piano total= 8 + 17= 25 ----->bottom left

There were 3 students who knew neither guitar nor piano
Did not know the guitar and piano=3 ----->middle middle

The answer would be:
Knew piano Did not know piano Total
Knew guitar 17 22 39
Did not know guitar 8 3 11
Total 25 25 50
