We can write equations, using x and y as the length and width:

xy=40
2x+2y=26

Divide the second equation by two to get:
xy=40
x+y=13

Thus, x=13-y.

We now have (13-x)x=40, so
13x-x^2=40
and x^2-13x+40=0

Factoring, we get:
(x-5)(x-8)=0

So, x can be either 5 or 8 (and y will be the other option).  Thus, the length and width are 8 and 5.

reflect (7,4) across the x-axis then reflect the result across the y-axis what are the coordinates of the final point
Andrews [41]

The coordinates of the final point after the two reflections is (-7, -4)

<h3>How to reflect a point across an axis?</h3>

For a point (x, y), a reflection across the x-axis gives the point (x, -y), while for a point (x, y) a reflection across the y-axis gives (-x, y).

In this case, we have the point (7, 4), first we reflect across the x-axis, so we get the point (-7, 4).

Now we reflect across the y-axis, so the sign of the y-component changes, and we get (-7, -4)

So the coordinates of the final point after the two reflections is (-7, -4).
