Answer:

The perimeter of the rectangle = 18 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

* The figure consists of one rectangle and four squares

* Lets put the dimensions of the rectangle and the four squares

- The width of the rectangle is x

∵ The length of the rectangle is 5 cm longer than the width

∴ The length of the rectangle is x + 5

∵ Area the rectangle = L × W

∴ Area rectangle = x(x + 5) = x² + 5x ⇒ (1)

* There are four squares constructed each in one side

  of the rectangle

- Two squares constructed on the length of the rectangle

∴ The length of the sides of the squares = x + 5

∵ Area the square = S²

∴ Its area = (x + 5)² ⇒ use the foil method

∴ Its area = x² + 10x + 25

∵ They are two squares

∴ Its area = 2x² + 20x + 50 ⇒ (2)

- Two squares constructed on the width of the rectangle

∴ The length of the sides of the squares = x

∴ Its area = x²

∵ They are two squares

∴ Its area = 2x² ⇒ (3)

- Area rectangle = x(x + 5) = x² + 5x ⇒ (3)

* Now lets make the equation of the area of the figure by

 adding (1) , (2) and (3)

∴ The area of the figure = 2x² + 20x + 50 + 2x² + x² + 5x  

                                         = 5x² + 25x + 50⇒ (4)

∵ The area of the figure = 120 cm² ⇒ (5)

* Put (4) = (5)

∴ 5x² + 25x + 50 = 120 ⇒subtract 120 from both sides

∴ 5x² + 25x +50 - 120 = 0 ⇒ add the like term

∴ 5x² + 25x -70 = 0 ⇒ divide both sides by 5

∴ x² + 5x - 14 = 0 ⇒ factorize it to find the value of x

∴ (x - 2)(x + 7) = 0

* Lets equate each bracket by 0

∴ (x - 2) = 0 ⇒ x = 2

∴ (x + 7) = 0 ⇒ x = -7 ⇒ rejected no -ve side length

∴ x = 2

* Now lets find the dimensions of the rectangle

∵ Length rectangle = x + 5

∴ Length rectangle = 2 + 5 = 7 cm

∴ Width rectangle = 2

∵ The perimeter of the rectangle = 2(L + W)

∴ The perimeter of the rectangle = 2(2 + 7) = 18 cm

* The perimeter of the rectangle = 18 cm

Answer:

The perimeter of rectangle is 18\ cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x-----> the length of the rectangle

y----> the width of the rectangle

we know that

x=y+5 ----> equation A

120=xy+2x^{2}+2y^{2}  ---> equation B (area of the constructed figure)

substitute the equation A in equation B

120=(y+5)y+2(y+5)^{2}+2y^{2}

120=(y+5)y+2(y+5)^{2}+2y^{2}\\ 120=y^{2}+5y+2(y^{2}+10y+25)+2y^{2}\\ 120=y^{2}+5y+2y^{2}+20y+50+2y^{2}\\120=5y^{2}+25y+50\\5y^{2}+25y-70=0

using a graphing calculator -----> solve the quadratic equation

The solution is

y=2\ cm

Find the value of x

x=y+5 ----> x=2+5=7\ cm

Find the perimeter of rectangle

P=2(x+y)=2(7+2)=18\ cm

At a 3​-mile ​cross-country race, an athlete runs 2 miles at 6 mph and 1 mile at 12 mph. What is the​ athlete's average​ speed?
Tom [10]

Answer: the average speed is 7.5 mph or at least im pretty sure

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because if you make the 2 miles at 6 mph to 1 mile at 3 mph then you get 1 mile at 3mph and 1 mile at 12 mph. now that you have the unit rates of these you can add them. 1 + 1 = 2 miles and 3 + 12 = 15 mph now divide this by two and you get 7.5 mph per mile.

I hope this helped, if it did could you give me a good rating? lol

Question 6(Multiple Choice Worth 1 points)
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

O The value of f(2) is smaller than the value of f(1).

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's solve for both. When the problem says f(1) or f(2), this just means that the x value is equal to that. So:
f(1) = -5(1)^2 + 2(1) + 9 = 6
f(2) = -5(2)^2 + 2(2) + 9 = -7
Since f(1) = 6 and f(2) = -7, we know that f(1) is greater than f(2). Therefore, the value of f(2) is smaller than the value of f(1)
