The perimeter of a rectangle is 72 in. The base is 3 times the height. Find the area of the rectangle

Answer:

243 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1. Calculate the<em> base and height </em>of the rectangle

We have two conditions:

(1)   2b+ 2h = 72 in

(2)           b = 3h               Substitute in (1)

2(3h) + 2h = 72               Remove parentheses

   6h + 2h = 72               Combine like terms

           8h = 72               Divide by 6

             h = 9 in             Substitute in(2)

             b = 3 × 9

             b = 27 in

Step 2. Calculate the area of the rectangle

A = bh

A = 27 × 9

A = 243 in²

The area of the rectangle is 243 in².

Find parametric equations for the line through point P(-4,5,2) in the direction of the vector (-6,6,-5)
tigry1 [53]

The vector <em>v</em> (-6, 6, -5) points in the direction of itself, so we start there.

We can capture all points on the line through the origin and the point (-6, 6, -5) by scaling <em>v</em> by an arbitrary real number <em>t</em>.

The line through point <em>P</em> and pointing in the same direction as <em>v</em> is parallel to the other line that passes through the origin. Then the line we want can be obtained by translating the line through the origin by a vector <em>p</em> that points to (-4, 5, 2), so the vector equation for this line is

<em>r </em>(<em>t </em>) = <em>p</em> + <em>t v</em>

<em>r </em>(<em>t </em>) = (-4, 5, 2) + <em>t</em> (-6, 6, -5)

<em>r </em>(<em>t </em>) = (-4 - 6<em>t</em>, 5 + 6<em>t</em>, 2 - 5<em>t</em> )

To get the parametric equations, simply take out the components:

<em>x</em> (<em>t</em> ) = -4 - 6<em>t</em>

<em>y </em>(<em>t</em> ) = 5 + 6<em>t</em>

<em>z</em> (<em>t</em> ) = 2 - 5<em>t</em>

What time is 71/2 hours before 2:12 am?
meriva
ANSWER: 1:42 PM

First find how many hours 71/2 hours is. Half of 71 is 35.5. Do one day back... So 35.5 hour becomes 11.5 hours and 2:12 AM still stays the same. Now take away 30 min (0.5) from 11.5 hours and from 2:12 AM. Now the numbers are 11 hours and 1:42 AM. Subtract 1 hour from both amounts, 10.5 hours and 12:42 PM. Now, subtract 11 hours from both amounts again. 0 hours left and 1:42 PM.
