Long=wide +2
Wide
Perimeter = 2•wide+2wide+4= 4wide+4=4(wide+1)=24 so
Wide+1=24/4; wide =5 m and long=7 m

$2l + 2(l+2)=24 \\2l +2l+4=24 \\4l=20 \\\boxed{l=5}$

Length of the room is 5 m and width is 5 + 2 = 7 m.

Hope this helps.

Solve the system of equations. 2x−9y=14 x=−6y+7

ipn [44]

Step-by-step explanation:

$put \: x \: into \: equation \: 1$

$2( - 6y + 7) - 9y = 14$

$- 12y + 14 - 9y = 14$

$- 21y + 14 = 14$

$- 21y = 14 - 14$

$- 21y = 0$

$\frac{ - 21y}{12} = \frac{0}{21}$

$y = 0$

$put \: y = 0 \: into \: equation \: 2$

$x = 6y + 7$

$x = 6(0) + 7$

$x = 0 + 7$

$x = 7$

What is the solution of the system of equations? Show your work.

scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

1.Solve for y in 2x+y=-3

y=-3-2x

2. Substitute y= -3 - 2x into 4x-2y=10

8x+6=10

3 Solve for x in 8x+6=10

x=1/2

4. Substitute x=1/2 into y = - 3 - 2x

y= -4

5. So you get...,

x=1/2

y=−4

Step-by-step explanation:

you're welcome :)

You have a wire that is 38 cm long. You wish to cut it into two pieces. One piece will be bent into the shape of a square. The o

Drupady [299]

Answer:16.71 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Length of wire L=38 cm

One piece is bent in the form of square and another in the form of circle

let x be the length of circle

therefore length of square side $\frac{38-x}{4}$

A=total area of square and circle

radius of circle $r=\frac{x}{2\pi }$

area of circle $A_c=\pi r^2=\pi \times (\frac{x}{2\pi })^2$

Area of square $A_s=(\frac{38-x}{4})^2$

$A=\pi \times (\frac{x}{2\pi })^2+(\frac{38-x}{4})^2$

To get the minimum value of A we get

$\frac{\mathrm{d} A}{\mathrm{d} x}=\frac{2x}{4\pi }-\frac{2(38-x)}{16}$

$\frac{\mathrm{d} A}{\mathrm{d} x}=0$

$\frac{x}{4\pi }=\frac{38-x}{16}$

$x=\frac{38\pi }{4+\pi }$

Therefore circumference of circle

$x=\frac{38\pi }{4+\pi }=\frac{119.396}{7.142}=16.717 cm$
