Perimeter= 2l + 2w
Perimeter= 35ft
l= 1/4w

Substitute values above for l and w

35= 2(1/4w) + 2w
35= (2*1)/4w + 2w
35= 2/4w + 2w
35= 1/2w + 2w
35= 2 1/2w
convert to improper fraction
35= 5/2w
divide both sides by 5/2
35 ÷ 5/2= w
multiply by reciprocal of 5/2
35 * 2/5= w
(35*2)/5= w
70/5= w
14= w

Substitute 14=w to find l

l= 1/4w
l= 1/4(14)
l= (1*14)/4
l= 14/4
reduce/simplify by 2
l= 7/2 or 3 1/2

CHECK:
35= 2l + 2w
35= 2(7/2) + 2(14)
35= 7 + 28
35= 35

ANSWER: l= 7/2 or 3 1/2; w= 14

Hope this helps! :)

---- x ----
|            | 0.25x
---- x ----


x + x + 0.25x + 0.25x = 35
2.5x = 35
x = 35/2.5
x = 14
width is 14

length is 1/4 this.
length = 7/2

If an object is projected upward with an initial velocity of 129 ft per sec, its height h after t seconds is h = -16^2+123t. Fin
elena-s [515]

This problem can be solved directly by neglecting the initial velocity given. All we have to do is to plug in t = 4 in the given equation. That is:

h = -16^2 + 123 * 4

h = 236 ft

A cube has a face area of 64 square centimeters. what is the volume of the cube?
fredd [130]
The face of one side of a cube is a square shape. The formula for the area of a square
A=s²     where s=side length
plug in the data we know
64cm²=s²
√64cm²=s
8cm=s

The side length on the cube is 8cm

The formula for the volume of a cube is

V=s³    where s=side length
plug in the data that we know
V=8³
V=512cm³

From the graph we observe:  
If x = 0 then y = 1/2    (because  e⁰ = 1)

\displaystyle \bf \\
\Longrightarrow~~\boxed{\bf y =  \frac{1}{2} e^x}
