The school hall is 4 times as long as it is wide. If the perimeter is 55m, what is the length? and what is the width?

1 answer:

6 0

-- The width of the school is ' W '. We don't know what that is yet,
but we're going to find out.

-- We're told that the length is 4 times as much. So the length is ' 4 W '.

-- Perimeter is (2 widths) + (2 lengths).

2 widths = 2 W
2 lengths = 8 W
Perimeter = 10 W

-- We're also told that the perimeter is 55m. That's just what we need.

10 W = 55 m

Divide each side of this equation by 10:

W = 5.5 m

There's the width !
The length of the hall is 4 times as much.

Length = 4 W = 22 m

Graph y+6=45(x+3) using the point and slope given in the equation

il63 [147K]

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given an equation y+6=45(x+3) in point slope form.

It says to use the point and slope from given equation to create the graph.

So compare equation y+6=45(x+3) with point slope formula

y-y1=m(x-x1)

we see that m=45, x1=-3 and y1=-6

Hence first point is at (-3,-6)

slope m=45 is positive so to find another point, previous point will move 45 units up then 1 unit right and reach at the location (-2,39).

Now we just graph both points (-3,-6) and (-2,39) and join them by a straight line. Final graph will look like the attached graph.

How do you write 1.92 x 10 0

nordsb [41]

Im guessing your saying how do you write 1.92 x 10 when you multiply you dont need to line up your decimals but it would lookm something like this:
1.92
x 10

and if it was 1.92 and 10.0 it would look like this

1.92
x 10.0

the deimals dont line up because you are multipling but if you were adding or subtrcating then you would have to line it up but not in this case

jerry has 60 coins consisting of quarters and dimes. The coins combined value is $9.45. Find out how are quarters and how many a

jekas [21]

Eq. 1 .10x + .25y = 9.45
Eq. 2 x + y = 60 rewrite as x = 60 - y and substitute into equation 1.

.10(60 - y) + .25y = 9.45
6 - .1y + .25y = 9.45
6 + .15y = 9.45
.15y = 3.45
y = 23
60 - 23 = 37

23 quarters
37 dimes

23* .25 = 5.75
37 * .1 = 3.70
5.75 + 3.70 =9.45
