Answer:

The length would be 10ft and the width would be 8ft

Step-by-step explanation:

For the purpose of this, we'll set the width as x. We can then define the length as x + 2 since we know it is 2 ft longer than the width. Now we can use those along with the perimeter formula to solve for the width.

P = 2l + 2w

36 = 2(x + 2) + 2(x)

36 = 2x + 4 + 2x

36 = 4x + 4

32 = 4x

8 = x

Now since we know that the width is 8ft, we can add 2ft to it to get the length, which would be 10ft.

Proportional relationships are also considered linear. Are linear relationships also considered proportional? What is required i

yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

yes

Step-by-step explanation:

proportional and liner functions almost identical informed the only difference is that the be of the constant of the liner function. Indeed a proportional relationship is just a line of relationship where be equal 0 or to put it another way when the line passes through the origin 0,0

Determine the displacement of end A with respect to end D if the diameters of each segment are dAB = 0.85 in ., dBC = 1.1 in .,

ipn [44]

Answer / Step-by-step explanation:

It should be noted that the question is incomplete due to the fact that the diagram has not been provided. However, the diagram has been complementing the question has been provided below.

To solve the question in the narrative, we recall the equation used in solving for displacement:

Thus, δₙₐ = Σ pL/AE

Where:

P is applied axial force.

E is the young's modulus of elasticity.

A is the area of cross-section.

L is length of the bar

Therefore, -8 (80) ÷ π/4 ( 0.85)² (18) (10³) + 2(150) ÷ π/4 (1.1)² (18) (10³) + 6(100) ÷ π/4 (0.45)² (18) (10³)

Solving further,

we have,

-8 (80) ÷ 0.7853( 0.85)² (18) (10³) + 2(150) ÷ 0.7853(1.1)² (18) (10³) + 6(100) ÷ 0.7853 (0.45)² (18) (10³)

= -640÷ 0.7853( 0.85)² (18) (10³) + 300 ÷ 0.7853(1.1)² (18) (10³) + 600 ÷ 0.7853 (0.45)² (18) (10³)

Solving further, we arrive at 0.111 in answer.

The positive sign indicates that end A moves away from end D.

The equation y+6=1/3(x-9) is written in point-slope form. What is the equation written in slope-intercept form?

loris [4]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Given

y + 6 = $\frac{1}{3}$ (x - 9) ← distribute the parenthesis

y + 6 = $\frac{1}{3}$ x - 3 ← subtract 6 from both sides

y = $\frac{1}{3}$ x - 9 ← in slope- intercept form
