Answer:

Width of rectangle = 6 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

Width of rectangle = x

Length of rectangle = 3x-2

Perimeter of rectangle = 44 meters

We need to find:

The Width of rectangle.

The formula used is:

$Perimeter\:of\:rectangle=2(Length\times Width)$

Putting values and finding value of x

$Perimeter\:of\:rectangle=2(Length\times Width)\\44=2(3x-2+x)\\44=2(4x-2)\\44=8x-4\\8x=44+4\\8x=48\\x=\frac{48}{8}\\x=6$

So, we get the value of x = 6.

We know that Width of rectangle = x = 6

So, Width of rectangle = 6 meters

At the point of intersection, the coordinates are the same:

... (x, y, z) = (-2t, 1+2t, 3t) = (-8+4s, 5s, 5+s)

We only need two of the coordinates to solve for the values of s and t. Using the x- and y-coordinates, we have

... 4s + 2t = 8 . . . . . . x2 - x1 = 0, in standard form

... 5s -2t = 1 . . . . . . . y2 - y1 = 0, in standard form

Adding these equations gives 9s=9, so s=1. Substituting into either equation gives t=2.

Using the expression for l1 with t=2, the point of intersection is

... (-2·2, 1+2·2, 3·2) = (-4, 5, 6).

_____

We could have stopped after finding the value of s, because that defines the point. By finding the value of t, we can check the solution to make sure that l1 and l2 both give the same point for the respective values of s and t. (They do.)

Restaurant is making hamburgers. The cooks use

likoan [24]

Answer:

70.69

Step-by-step explanation:

46 2/3 divided by 2/3

46.66 divided by 0.66

The anwser is 70.69

If the cook makes twice as much beef then the number of hamburgers would be two times larger which would be 141.39.

Half as much beef would be 70.69 divided by two which is 35.34.

How many millimeter are contained in 3 liters of fluid

vfiekz [6]

A millimeter is a one dimensional measurement whereas a liter is a three-dimensional measurement. There is no equivalence between the two.

If you meant milliliter, that is also equivalent to a cm^3, of which there are one thousand in a liter.

1000ml=L or 1000cm^3=L
