Answer:

Length=17

width=13

Step-by-step explanation:

W=width

L=length

Perimeter = 2w+2l since it's a rectangle

W=l-4 (given)

Plug into perimeter equation

Perimeter =(2l-8)+2l

=4l-8

60=4l-8

68=4l

17 =l

W=l-4=17-4=13

An object is acted upon by the forces F1=<10,6,4> and F2=<0,3,9>. Find the force F3 that must act on the object

murzikaleks [220]

$\vec F_3=\langle x,y,z\rangle$ is a force vector such that

$\vec F_1+\vec F_2+\vec F_3=\vec0$

$\implies\langle10,6,4\rangle+\langle0,3,9\rangle+\langle x,y,z\rangle=\langle0,0,0\rangle$

$\implies\begin{cases}10+x=0\\9+y=0\\13+z=0\end{cases}\implies x=-10,y=-9,z=-13$

So the missing force is

$\boxed{\vec F_3=\langle-10,-9,-13\rangle}$

Paula and Kawai shared $312 in the ratio of 6:7. How much money did each person get?

Maslowich

Answer:

Paula get $\$144$ and Kawai get $\$168$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Paula and Kawai shared $\$312$ in the ratio of $6:7$ .

To find: How much money did each person get?

Solution:

We have,

Paula and Kawai shared $\$312$ in the ratio of $6:7$ .

So, let Paula get $\$6x$ and Kawai get $\$7x$ .

As per the question,

$6x+7x=312$

$\implies13x=312$

$\implies x=\frac{312}{13} =24$

Therefore, Paula get $6\times 24=\$144$ , and Kawai get $7\times 24=\$168$ .

Hence, Paula get $\$144$ and Kawai get $\$168$ .
