Answer:

The perimeter is 50

Step-by-step explanation:

The original area is LW

The new area is (L-4)(W+3)

These areas are the same

1:      (L-4)(W+3)=LW

You are also told that the new figure is a square, hence

2:     (L-4)=(W+3)

Equation (2) implies

3:     L=W+7

Substitute for L in Equation (1) and solve for W

(W+7-4)(W+3)=(W+7)W

W^2+3W+7W+21-4W-12=W^2+7W

6W+9=7W

W=9

Now use Equation (3) to solve for L

L=16

The perimeter is 2W+2L

P=18+32=50

In the point (3,-2), what is<br> the x-value? Which<br> quadrant is this point<br> located?
natali 33 [55]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The x-value is 3. Coordinate pairs are labeled as (x, y). In this case, the 3 is in the x position.

The point is located in the 4th quadrant. Quadrant labels move counter-clockwise, from 1 to 4 as shown below. In Quadrant 4, the x-value will always be positive, and the y-value will always be negative. This point has a positive x-value and negative y-value, so it is in this quadrant.
