Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

b2 = 5  


Discussion:

A = 1/2 h (b1 + b2) .

Substituting A = 16, h = 4, and b1=3 in the above formula gives:

16 = (1/2) (4)( 3 + b2)    =>         (as (1/2)4 = 2) )

16 = 2 ( 3 + b2)             =>         (divide both sides by 2)

8 = (3 + b2)                   =>         (subtract 3 from both sides)

8-3  = b2                       =>

5     =  b2


Check Area formula:

Does A = 16 = (1/2)(4)(3+5)   ?

Does 16 = (1/2) (4)(8)             ?

Does 16 = (1/2)(32)                ?  Yes it does so our calculation for b2 is correct




Thank you,

MrB

The rectangle shown has a perimeter of 7272 cm and the given area. its length is 66 more than four timesfour times its width. wr
Vadim26 [7]
<span>Width = 6 Length = 30 We know the perimeter of a rectangle is simply twice the sum of it's length and width. So we have the expression: 72 = 2*(L + W) And since we also know for this rectangle that it's length is 6 more than 4 times it's width, we have this equation as well: L = 6 + 4*W So let's determine what the dimensions are. Since we have a nice equation that expresses length in terms of width, let's substitute that equation into the equation we have for the perimeter and solve. So: 72 = 2*(L + W) 72 = 2*(6 + 4*W + W) 72 = 2*(6 + 5*W) 72 = 12 + 10*W 60 = 10*W 6 = W So we now know that the width is 6. And since we have an expression telling us the length when given the width, we can easily determine the length. So: L = 6 + 4*W L = 6 + 4*6 L = 6 + 24 L = 30 And now we know the length as well.</span>

Given the function f(x) = 4x + 1, EXPLAIN and show how to find the average rate of change between x = 1 and x = 3.
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

The average rate of change is calculated as the slope of the line between the two points on the graph. Since at x = 1, y = -3, and at x = 3, y = 1, these are the two points which we calculate the slope from. Using the formula

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (1 - (-3))/(3 - 1)

m = 4/2

m = 2

Therefore the slope, or the average rate of change, between these points is 2.
