1) It's best to draw out a picture of a rectangle and label each corner with the coordinates given: Let's say (-5, 2) is point A, (-5, -2 1/3) is point B, (2 1/2, 2) is point C, and (2 1/2, -2 1/3) is point D.
2) That being said, line AB is one side of the rectangle, BC is another, CD is another, and lastly, AD is the fourth side.
3) We can use the distance formula and plug in the coordinates of each line to find how long every side is. Then you just need to solve it.
For example: if I want to find how long side AB is, I would use the point A (-5, 2) and B (2 1/2, 2) and plug them into the distance formula, where (-5, 2) is (x1, x2) and (2 1/2, 2) is (x2, y2) and solve that.
4) Repeat this process with side BC, CD, and AD, and add the results together. This will be your final answer; the perimeter of the rectangle.
In the proportional theory,
28 units is the total measurement that includes 8 units.
So, 10 + 3x - 5 is the total measurement that includes 10 units proportionally.
This means,
28 = 10 + 3x - 5
Now solve for x,
28 = 10 + 3x - 5
28 - 10 = 3x - 5
18 + 5 = 3x
23 = 3x
23 / 3 = x
So x = 23/3 or 7.6666....
You can also approach it this way:
28 flowers times n = 3444
so n = 123
11 x 123 = roses, 17 x 123 = tulips.
Those 2 products should add up to 3444. They do. :-)
gotchaaaaaa
ahhh
thanxxx
0 = x because 0 + 5 = 5 plus 2 = 7
