Answer:

Width 130 ft and

Length 320 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

  • Length of the rectangular base is 70 ft less than three times the width;
  • Perimeter of the rectangular base is 900 ft

We are required  to determine the dimensions of the rectangular base;

Assuming the width of the rectangular base is x ft

Then length will be (3x - 70) ft

But;

Perimeter = 2L + 2W

Thus;

900 ft = 2(3x-70) + 2(x)

900 ft = 6x -140 +2x

1040 = 8x

 x = 130

Thus;

Width = 130 ft

Length = 3x -70 = 320 ft

Hence the dimensions of the rectangular base are width 130 ft and length 320 ft

Which of the following equations will produce the graph shown below?
melisa1 [442]
The graph is a circle, centered at the origin, with radius=4.

We know that we can write the equation of a circle with radius r and center (a,b) as :

                      (x-a)^2+(y-b)^2=r^2.

Thus, substituting (a, b) with (0, 0) and r with 4, we have:

                      x^2+y^2=16.

The solutions of this equation are all the points forming the circle shown in the picture. The solutions of this equation are still the same even if we multiply both sides of the equation by 2, because rewriting the equation as:

x^2+y^2=16\\\\x^2+y^2-16=0\\\\2(x^2+y^2-16)=0, 

we would still have the same roots.

Thus, the equation of the circle can be written as :

                                    2x^2+2y^2=32.
