Answer:
>
Step-by-step explanation:
First find the perimeter of the rectangle: 2w+2l which is 8+28=36. Then find the square root of 36 which is 6 so that is the answer.
Amy: (3 pages/min)(x min) + 9 pages
Sam: (2 pages/min)(x min) + 47 pages
Equate these: 3x+9 = 2x + 47
Then x = 38. The two friends will have covered the same number of pages after 38 minutes. How many pages would that be? 3(38)+9 = 123 pages.
