Consistent and independent
2l + 2w = 132
l = 3w + 2
2(3w+2)+2w=132
6w + 4 + 2w = 132
8w + 4 = 132
8w = 128
w = 16
l = 3(16) + 2
l = 48 + 2
l = 50
2(50) + 2(16) __ 132
100 + 32 = 132
The fence you have must fit the perimeter of the rectangle.
With 36 feet of fence, these are the rectangles that you can enclose:
1-ft x 17-ft . . . Area = 17 ft²
2 x 16 . . . Area = 32 ft²
3 x 15 . . . Area = 45 ft²
4 x 14 . . . Area = 56 ft²
5 x 13 . . . Area = 65 ft²
6 x 12 . . . Area = 72 ft²
7 x 11 . . . Area = 77 ft²
8 x 10 . . . Area = 80 ft²
9 x 9 . . . Area = 81 ft²
F(h(x)) means wherever you see x in the f(x) function you're gonna plug in the h(x) function:
f(h(x)) = (2x + 3) - 7
= 2x + 3 - 7
= 2x - 4
That would be the area of a circle of radius 12 miles
= pi r^2 = 452.4 square miles to nearest tenth.
