Tamara is creating a model of a rectangle. She has 26 inches of yellow ribbon to use for the border of the rectangle. She wants
2 answers:
<h2>Answer:
</h2>
Let,
L be the length of the rectangle
W be the width of the rectangle
As Tamara will use the ribbon for the border of rectangle, this means we need the perimeter of rectangle.
Perimeter is given as :
As Tamara is using 26 inches of ribbon so perimeter is 26.
Equation becomes,
..........(1)
Tamara wants the length to be 3 inches greater than the width, so equation becomes:
..........(2)
Substituting equation 2 in equation 1:
=>
=>
inches.
And,
= inches
Therefore, we can say that the system of equations used are :

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to find the distance between two points, so the following formula is used.
Where (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) are the points we are finding the distance between.
We are given the points (-2, -1) and (3,2). If we match the corresponding value and variable we see that:
- x₁= -2
- y₁= -1
- x₂= 3
- y₂= 2
Substitute the values into the formula.
Solve the parentheses.
- -2 -3 = -5
- 2--1 = 2+ 1 = 3
Solve the exponents.
- (-5)²= -5*-5= 25
- (3)²= 3*3=9
Add.
This radical cannot be simplified, so the distance between the two points is <u>√34</u> and <u>choice 3 </u> is correct.
