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

the volume v of a tank varies directly with its height h a tank 12 ft High holds 300 cubic feet write an equation relating v &am
Liula [17]

v varies directly with height means

v/h=k were k is a constant

or also h/v=k where k is a constant (this is a different k than previous)

so if h=12 and v=300 then

h/v=12/300=1/25=k

so the relationhip could be h/v=1/25


if you di v/h, then

v/h=300/12=25/1=25=k

so the relationship could be v/h=25

1. SIMPLIFY EACH EXPRESSION:
natka813 [3]

Answer:

1. 8x2 - 7x + 4x3 - 2-3x2 + 9x - 4 = 16+2x

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Multiply all the multiplication problems (should look like this --> 16-7x+12-2-6+9x-4)

2. Calculate the sum or difference (should end up looking like this --> 16-7x+9x) and then into this (16 +2x)

Bringing us to the answer → <u>16 + 2x!</u>

how many solutions does the graph above show? <br> a. one <br> b. none<br> c. infinite
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

infinite

Step-by-step explanation:

The line can be represented by the equation y=-2/3x-2 since there are no other lines it would be infinite. if there was a line with the same slope and a different y-intercept the answer would be none as the lines never intersect.  for the equation there are ifinitly many!  

     for example any point that that lone touches is a solutions so there is not one but many answers.

Please solve these soon I have to turn thin in tomorrow !!!!!!!!
Gnoma [55]

Answer:

a) so if you're looking for a then you substitute the a in the problem so the real question would be answered by simply doing this. 3 times (do this first) 6 times 3. so it would end up looking like this if you did it in your head. 6x3=18 then 18x3= 54 so the answer for ten after you did all the math would equal out to be 54.

d) so you're going to substitue the d again, for what it tells you d equals. in this case, d= a negative 2 so, 5 x do this first -2 x 4 = so if you did this in your head you would end up with -2 x 4 = -8 because anything times a negative is turned into a negative. so that is why the answer is -8 for the first part. then you multiply that answer by 5 because we all like the 5 dollar foot longs. so carry that into an answer of - 40. because we all know we want to be younger once we reach 40.

r) 5times -3 equals -15 times 2 would be... ding ding ding 30 because a negative times a negative is a positive. think of negatives this way. when you frown it's your smile upside down. ok so a frown is a negative, if you multiply a negative to a negative it's like turning your frown upside down. so you end up with a positive! ok?! so there. the secrets of life and math.

call me for the rest of the answers... this is too much to write down.
