Answer:

The length is 72 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Equations

2L+2W=192

L=3W

Solving/Substitution

2(3W)+2W=192

8W=192

W=192/8=24

L=24*3=72

The length is 72 feet.

The width is 24 feet.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A

Eq of line passing through C and A

$y-y_o=m(x-x_o)\\y-6=\frac{6-1}{1-2}(x-1)~=>y=-5x+11\\\\PERPEDICULAR~ LINE\\\\m_2=-\frac{1}{m_1}=-\frac{1}{-5}=\frac{1}{5}\\y-3=\frac{1}{5}(x-3)~=>y=\frac{1}{5}x+\frac{12}{5}$

Part B

Coordinates of point D

$-5x+11=\frac{1}{5}x+\frac{12}{5}=>11-\frac{12}{5}=x(\frac{1}{5}+5)=>x=\frac{43}{26}\\y=-5(\frac{43}{26})+11=\frac{71}{26}\\D(\frac{43}{26}, \frac{71}{26})$
