Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
length = 78 feet
width = 36 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Using one variable and an expression, you can set up an equation equal to the perimeter to find the measure of each side:
width = 'w'
length = '42ft longer than it was wide' = w + 42
The general formula for the perimeter of a rectangle:
P = 2w + 2l
Plugging in the given values and variables:
228 = 2w + 2(w + 42)
Distribute: 228 = 2w + 2w + 84
Combine like terms: 144 = 4w
Divide and solve: 36 = w
w = 36 ft
l = 36 + 42 = 78 ft
So we can make an equation for this, being 7=1/3x, as that effectively says she can make 3 drawings per page.
Knowing this, we can multiply it by 3 to get x=21 (since if she can draw 3 drawings per page, we can imagine that if each drawing took a page she would need 3 times the pieces of paper), therefore she can make 21 drawings.
Y = 4 and x = 1 hope this helps!
