Option 4 would be the correct answer
Answer:
Length = 27 metres
Width = 9 metres
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider the width to be x.
Then the length will be 3x.
The perimeter is 66m when the width is increased by 1m and the length is decreased by 4m.
So the dimensions will become:
Length=3x-4
Width=x+1
Now solve for the variable x using the formula for perimeter of a rectangle:
P = 2(l+b)
66 = 2(3x-4+x+1) (Divide both sides by 2 and simplify the parentheses)
33 = 4x-3 (Add 3 to both sides)
36 = 4x (Divide both sides by 4)
x = 9
Now plug-in the value of x into the original dimensions which were:
Length=3x
Width=x
So the dimensions are:
Length = 27 metres
Width = 9 metres
Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the polynomial : p(x)=1−2x2−3x3+4x
Rearranging : p(x) = -3x³ - 2x² + 4x + 1
Looking at the polynomial Given, we can see that it is a univariate polynomial, that is it has only one variable which is x. Thus for polynomials of this sort, the order of the polynomial is the highest exponent occurring in the polynomial equation. Therefore, the order of the polynomial above is 3, because the highest power of the function is 3.
This means that those with 4 as their highest exponent are of order 4 and those with highest exponent as 2 are of order 2.
Answer:
The length of the rectangle is 12cm and the area of the rectangle is 60cm2.
Explanation:
By definition, the angles of a rectangle are right. Therefore, drawing a diagonal creates two congruent right triangles. The diagonal of the rectangle is the hypotenuse of the right triangle. The sides of the rectangle are the legs of the right triangle. We can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the unknown side of the right triangle, which is also the unknown length of the rectangle.
Recall that the Pythagorean Theorem states that the sun of the squares of the legs of a right triangle is equal to the square of the hypotenuse. a2+b2=c2
52+b2=132
25+b2=169
25−25+b2=169−25
b2=144
√b2=√144
b=±12
Since the length of the side is a measured distance, the negative root is not a reasonable result. So the length of the rectangle is 12 cm.
The area of a rectangle is given by multiplying the width by the length.
A=(5cm)(12cm)
A=60cm2
