The length of a rectangle is five times its width. If the area of the rectangle is 320 cm^2, find its perimeter.

1 answer:

4 0

A = LW
A = 320
L = 5W

320 = W(5W)
320 = 5W^2
320/5 = W^2
64 = W^2
sqrt 64 = W
8 = W

L = 5W
L = 5(8)
L = 40

so the length (L) = 40 cm and the width (W) = 8 cm

P = 2(L + W)
P = 2(40 + 8)
P = 2(48)
P = 96 <=====

Which equation represents the line passing through the points (4, −1) and (1, 0)? Select one: A. x + 3y = 1 B. 3x + y = 1 C. x −

Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Gradient of a line =( y2 - y1)/x2 - x1

From the question, x1=4,y1=-1,x2=1,y2=0.

Therefore, substitute for these values in the above formula

m = 0-(-1)/1-4

= 0+1/-3

= -1/3.

Therefore, y-y1/x-x1 = -1/3

y - y1 = -1/3(x - x1)

y - (-1) = -(x-x1)/3

y+1 = - (x - 4)/3

Multiply through by 3

3y+3= -x+4

3y +x=4-3

x+3y= 1

Therefore the answer is A.

alexgriva [62]

Answer:

The number of ways is $\left n} \atop {}} \right. P_r = 336$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The number of tickets are $n = 8$

The number of finalist are $r =3$

Generally the number of way by which this winners can be drawn and arrange in the order of $1^{st} , \ 2nd , \ 3rd$ is mathematically represented as

$\left n} \atop {}} \right. P_r = \frac{n\ !}{(n-r) !}$

substituting values

$\left n} \atop {}} \right. P_r = \frac{ 8!}{(8-3) !}$

$\left n} \atop {}} \right. P_r = \frac{ 8* 7*6*5*4*3*2*1}{ 5*4*3*2*1}$

$\left n} \atop {}} \right. P_r = 336$
