Assign the following variables for the origina3l rectangle:
let w = width let w + 8 = length and the area would be w(w + 8) = w² + 8w
No for the second rectangle:
let (w + 4) = width and (w + 8 - 5) or (w + 3) = length
Area = length x width or (w + 4)(w + 3) = w² + 3w + 4w + 12 using the foil method to multiply to binomials. Simplified Area = w² + 7w + 12
Now our problem says that the two area will be equal to each other, which sets up the following equation:
w² + 8w = w² + 7w + 12 subtract w² from both sides
8w = 7w + 12 subtract 7w from both sides
w = 12 this is the width of our original rectangle
recall w + 8 = length, so length of the original rectangle would be 20
4(2t+6)
8t+24 is the answer
Answer:
6 square units
Step-by-step explanation:
In oder to do this, you need graph paper to make it easier and then mark your graph paper with the quadrants.
I got 3 unites for the height and 4 units for the base
4 x 3 = 12 square units
however the formula for a triangle is Ab/2
so divide 12/2 = 6
So its 6 square units
First you'll have to bring the equation in form y = mx + b.
4y = -x - 32
y = -1/4 x - 8
So the slope is -1/4 and y-intercept is -8
Hope this helps :)
