The length of a rectangle is 10 meters more than the width. If the perimeter is 184 meters, what are the length and the width?

1 answer:

3 0

Perimeter = (2 × Length) + (2 × Width)

If the length is dependent on the width (because the length is 10 more than the width), we can say that L = W + 10.

To find the answer to the Peri, we have to find out what the W is first.

184 = 2(W + 10) + 2W
184 = 2W + 20 + 2W
184 = 4W + 20
184 - 20 = 4W = 164
164 ÷ 4 = W
41 = W

We have found out width. Our length is W + 10, so L = 41 + 10 = 51

W = 41 and L = 51

Jay works as a waiter at a restaurant.

Answer:

67.33.

Step-by-step explanation:

To figure out the tip, you need to find 20% of $52.60.

0.2×52.6=10.52

You should leave $10.52 for the waiter if you want to leave him exactly 20%.

To figure the tax, you need to find 8% of $52.60.

0.08×52.6=4.208

Next, add them up:

52.6+10.52+4.208=67.328

The total bill, including tax and tip, will be $67.33.

What is the distance between the points (1, 25) and (4, 21)

Elena-2011 [213]

Hello!

To find the distance between the points (1, 25) and (4, 21), you need to use the distance formula.

The distance formula is: $d =\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^{2}+(y_{2}-y_{1})^{2}}$ . With the distance formula, you have to assign the ordered pairs before substituting them into the formula, which is also used to to find the slope of functions.
