The length of a rectangle is five less than three times the width. The perimeter is 46 inches .Find the length and width

1 answer:

7 0

Let l represent length, and w represent width
l=3w-5

P=2(l+w)
46=2(l+w)
Divided 2 for both side
l+w=23
Now, I substitute l=3w-5 into this equation
3w-5+w=23
4w-5=23
Add 5 for both side
4w=28
Divided 4 for both side
w=7 inches
l=3w-5
l=3(7)-5
l=21-5
l=16 inches. As a result, the length is 16 inches, and the width is 7 inches. Hope it help!

Let

x-------> total peanuts originally from the bag

we know that

1) Phillip took 1/3 of the peanuts from the bag--------> (1/3)*x

remaining=x-(1/3)*x-------> (2/3)*x

2) Joy took 1/4 of the remaining peanuts-------> (1/4)*[(2/3)*x]----> (1/6)*x

remaining= (2/3)*x-(1/6)*x------> (1/2)*x

3) Brett took 1/2 of the remaining peanuts------> (1/2)*(1/2)*x-----> (1/4)*x

remaining= (1/2)*x-(1/4)*x-------> (1/4)*x

4) Preston took 10 peanuts------> 10

(1/4)*x-10=71----> multiply by 4 both sides----> x-40=284----> x=324 peanuts

5) Total originally peanuts from the bag is equal to 324 peanuts

6) Phillip took (1/3)*x-----> (1/3)*324=108 peanuts

7) Joy took (1/6)*x------> (1/6)*324=54 peanuts

8) Brett took (1/4)*x------> (1/4)*324=81 peanuts

9) Preston took 10

check

108+54+81+10=253

remaining=324-253------> remaining=71-------> is correct

Answer:

Length = 50 units

width = 35 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A, B, C and D be the corner of the pools.

Given:

The points of the corners are.

$A(x_{1}, y_{1}})=(-20, 25)$

$B(x_{2}, y_{2}})=(30, 25)$

$C(x_{3}, y_{3}})=(30, -10)$

$D(x_{4}, y_{4}})=(-20, -10)$

We need to find the dimension of the pools.

Solution:

Using distance formula of the two points.

$d(A,B)=\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^{2}+(y_{2}-y_{1})^{2}}$ ----------(1)

For point AB

Substitute points A(30, 25) and B(30, 25) in above equation.

$AB=\sqrt{(30-(-20))^{2}+(25-25)^{2}}$

$AB=\sqrt{(30+20)^{2}}$

$AB=\sqrt{(50)^{2}$

AB = 50 units

Similarly for point BC

Substitute points B(-20, 25) and C(30, -10) in equation 1.

$d(B,C)=\sqrt{(x_{3}-x_{2})^{2}+(y_{3}-y_{2})^{2}}$

$BC=\sqrt{(30-30)^{2}+((-10)-25)^{2}}$

$BC=\sqrt{(-35)^{2}}$

BC = 35 units

Similarly for point DC

Substitute points D(-20, -10) and C(30, -10) in equation 1.

$d(D,C)=\sqrt{(x_{3}-x_{4})^{2}+(y_{3}-y_{4})^{2}}$

$DC=\sqrt{(30-(-20))^{2}+(-10-(-10))^{2}}$

$DC=\sqrt{(30+20)^{2}}$

$DC=\sqrt{(50)^{2}}$

DC = 50 units

Similarly for segment AD

Substitute points A(-20, 25) and D(-20, -10) in equation 1.

$d(A,D)=\sqrt{(x_{4}-x_{1})^{2}+(y_{4}-y_{1})^{2}}$

$AD=\sqrt{(-20-(-20))^{2}+(-10-25)^{2}}$

$AD=\sqrt{(-20+20)^{2}+(-35)^{2}}$

$AD=\sqrt{(-35)^{2}}$

AD = 35 units

Therefore, the dimension of the rectangular swimming pool are.

Length = 50 units

width = 35 units
