Answer: The length of the rectangle is 37.5 inches and the width is 12.5 inches

Step-by-step explanation: The dimensions of the rectangle is not given but we have clues given. The length is given as three times it’s width which means if the width is W, then the length would be given as 3W (three times the width). Also the perimeter is given as 100 inches and the formula for the perimeter is;

Perimeter = 2(L + W)

We can now insert the known values as follows;

100 = 2(3W + W)

100 = 2(4W)

100 = 8W

Divide both sides of the equation by 8

12.5 = W

Having calculated the width as 12.5 inches, the length now becomes

L = 3W

L = 3 x 12.5

L = 37.5

Hence the length is 37.5 inches and the width is 12.5 inches

How can you use mental math to find the percent of a number?

olga_2 [115]

Every percent of that number is 1/100 of that number
Example 30, 1/100 of 30 is .30
Example 100, 1/100 of 100 is 1
Example 52, 1/100 of 52 is .52

Write the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the line y = 2x + 2 and passes through the point (6, 3).

Mama L [17]

For this case we have that by definition, the equation of the line in a slope-intersection form is given by:

$y = mx + b$

Where:

m: It's the slope

b: It is the cut-off point with the y axis

We have the following equation:

$y = 2x + 2$

Thus, the slope is $m_ {1} = 2$

By definition, if two lines are perpendicular then the product of the slopes is -1.

$m_ {1} * m_ {2} = - 1$

We find $m_ {2}:$

$m_ {2} = \frac {-1} {m_ {1}}\\m_ {2} = \frac {-1} {2}$

Thus, the equation of the line is:

$y = - \frac {1} {2} x + b$

We substitute the given point to find "b":

$3 = - \frac {1} {2} 6 + b\\3 = -3 + b\\b = 6$

Thus, the equation of a line perpendicular to the given line and passing through the given point is:

$y = - \frac {1} {2} x + 6$

Answer:

$y = - \frac {1} {2} x + 6$
