The length of a rectangle is three times as long as its width. The width of this rectangle is 6 inches smaller than its length.

Find the length and the width. (It would also be interesting to know its area and perimeter!)

Answer:

The length is 9in and the width is 3in

The perimeter is 24in and the area is 27in²

Step-by-step explanation:

To start we have to make 2 equations with the information that gave us the problem

l = length

w = width

w = l - 6in

l = 3w

we replace l in the first equation with (3w)

w = (3w) - 6in

w - 3w = -6in

-2w = -6in

w = -6in / (-2)

w = 3in

now we replace the value of w in the second equation

l = 3w

l = 3 (3in)

l = 9in

Now that we have the length and width we can calculate the perimeter and the area with the following formulas

p = perimeter

a = area

p = 2w + 2h

p = 2(3in) + 2(9in)

p = 6in + 18in

p = 24in

a = w * l

a = 3in * 9in

a = 27in²

I dont know how to do this one
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

2\sqrt{34}

Step-by-step explanation:

We can add a line to create a triangle and a rectangle. The triangle will have side lengths 10 and 6. Furthermore, it will be a right triangle, meaning we can apply the Pythagorean Theorem to find x, the hypotenuse.

6^2 + 10^2 = x^2\\x = \sqrt{6^2 + 10^2}\\ = \sqrt{136} \\= 2\sqrt34}

hope this helped! :)

Triangle ABC is defined by the points A(2,9), B(8,4), and C(-3,-2).
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

5y - 6x = 8 or y = 6x/5 + 8/5

Step-by-step explanation:

let M1= gradient of line AB and M2= gradient of the second line

When two lines are perpendicular, the product of their gradients is -1

i.e, M1M2= -1

M2= -1/M1

A(2,9) and B(8,4)

gradient= (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

M1= (4-9)/(8-2)

= -5/6

M2= -1÷ -5/6

-1 × -6/5= 6/5

Equation of the line passing through C(-3,-2)

[y-(-2)]/[x-(-3)= 6/5

(y+2)/(x+3)= 6/5

5(y+2)= 6(x+3)

5y+10=6x+18

5y= 6x + 8

y= 6x/5 + 8/5
