Answer:

62 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter=2(l+w)

Where P=294 and l=85

294=2(85+w)

294=170+2w

2w=294-170

2w=124

w=124/2

w=62yards

Answer:

62 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

total perimeter of the rectangle (four sided shape) = 294

length+length+width+width=perimeter

85 + 85 + w + w = 294

85 + 85 = 170

294 - 170 = 124

124 = w x 2

124 / 2 = w

124 / 2 = 62

62 = w

Select interior, exterior, or on the circle (x - 5) 2 + (y + 3) 2 = 25 for the following point. (2, 3)

lozanna [386]

Standard equation of a circle: (x-h)² + (y-k)² = r² where (h, k) is the center and r is the radius. In the case of our equation here, (x-5)² + (y+3)² = 25, we can conclude that our circle has a center at (5, -3) and a radius of 5 units.

We can use the distance formula with the center (5, -3) and our point (2, 3) to see how far away they are...if the distance between them is less than the radius of the circle, it is on the interior. If it's equal, it's on the circle. If it's greater, it's on the exterior.

Distance = $\sqrt{(y_2-y_1)^2+(x_2-x_1)^2}$

Distance = $\sqrt{(-3-3)^2+(5-2)^2}$

Distance = $\sqrt{(-6)^2+3^2}$

Distance = $\sqrt{36+9}$

Distance = $\sqrt{45}\approx6.7082$

$6.7082>5,\ so\ (2,3)\ is\ on\ the\ \boxed{exterior}$

A neighbor farmer had some chickens. She had 24 feet of wire fencing to

Paraphin [41]

Answer:

A rectangle is defined by its length = L, and its width = W.

So the perimeter of the of the rectangle can be written as:

Perimeter = 2*L + 2*W.

In this case, we want to leave the perimeter fixed, so we have:

24ft = 2*L + 2*W.

Now, we do not have any other restrictions, so to know the different dimensions now we can write this as a function, by isolating one of the variables.

2*L = 24ft - 2*W

L = 12ft - W.

or:

L(W) = 12ft - W.

Such that:

W must be greater than zero (because we can not have negative or zero width).

And W must be smaller than 12ft (because in that case we would have zero or negative length)

Then the possible different dimensions are given by:

L(W) = 12ft - W

0ft < W < 12ft.
