What is the length and width of a rectangle with a perimeter of 28 feet and an area of 48 sq feet

Mathematics

Answer:

The rectangle is 8 ft by 6 ft.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = length and y = width

Then, 2x+2y = 28 and xy = 48

Since 2x+2y = 28, y = 14 - x

So, x(14 - x) = 48

   x2 - 14x + 48 = 0

  (x-8)(x-6) = 0

  x = 8 or x = 6


Hope this helps!

Answer:

The dimensions are 6 ft by 8 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Area = l*w

Perimeter = 2(l+w)

48 = lw

28 = 2(l+w)

Divide by 2

28/2 = 2/2(l+w)

14 = l+w

Subtract w from each side

14-w =l+w-w

14-w =l

Substitute this into the first equation for area

48 = lw

48 = (14-w) *w

48 = 14w - w^2

Subtract 14w from each side

48 -14w = 14w-14w -w^2

-14w +48 = -w^2

Add w^2 to each side

w^2 -14w +48 = -w^2+w^2

w^2 -14w +48  =0

Factor

(w-6) (w-8) = 0

Using the zero product property

w-6=0  w-8=0

w=6   w=8

So the width could be 6  or the width could be 8

If the width is 6

14-w =l

14-6 =l

8 =l

The length is 8

If the width is 8

14-w =l

14-8 =l

8 =l

The length is 6

Consider the function represented by 9x+3y = 12 with x as the independent variable. How can this function be
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

  • f(x) = -3x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given function:</u>

  • 9x + 3y = 12

<u>Putting this into slope-intercept form: y = mx + b</u>

  • 9x + 3y = 12
  • 3y = -9x + 12
  • y = -3x + 4

<u>Replacing y with f(x)</u>

  • f(x) = -3x + 4

I need to know the answer to this problem. Thanks. I will name Brainliest to the correct answer :)
trapecia [35]

Answer:

422

Step-by-step explanation:

Large rectangle

A = 2(lw+wh+lh)

A = 2(7*10+10*5+7*5)

A = 310

Small rectangle

A = 136

Now the squares that connect both, 4*3

Since you have 1 on each rectangle, the total area for this is 24

add 310 + 136 and substract 24

stealth61 [152]
To answer this since the discount is 15% the retail is 75% so you would put it in a ratio or part over whole so .75=2210 and 100%=x so then you would divide 2210 by .75 and you get 2946 but I’m not sure so...

Help please! How would I solve a 2 step equation like this? 4(x-2)=14
sattari [20]

Answer: Hi!

Okay. So this equation we will solve using something called the distributive property. We use the distributive property to multiply the terms inside the parentheses (x and -2) by the term outside and in front of the parentheses (4). First, we would multiply 4 * x, which is 4x. Then, we would multiply 4 * -2, which is -8. Out equation now looks like this:

4x - 8 = 14

Our goal is to isolate the x, so now we'll use inverse operations to remove the -8 from the equation. The inverse operation for subtraction is addition, so we would add 8 to both sides:

4x - 8 = 14

   + 8  + 8

The eights cancel out, so we're left with this equation:

4x = 22

Last step! We're almost done. All we have to do now is divide 4 on both sides; in the term 4x, 4 is being multiplied by x, so the inverse operation would be division.

4x ÷ 4 = x

22 ÷ 4 = 5.5

Our equation now looks like this:

x = 5.5

So, 5.5 is equal to x! This would be your answer!

Hope this helps!
