Answer:

l = 29.4 yards

w = 66.8 yards

General Formulas and Concepts:

  • Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
  • Perimeter of a Rectangle: P = 2w + 2l

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

P = 163 yards

w = 2l + 8

l = l

<u>Step 2: Set up equation</u>

P = 2w + 2l

163 = 2(2l + 8) + l

<u>Step 3: Solve for </u><em><u>l</u></em>

  1. Distribute 2:                              163 = 4l + 16 + l
  2. Combine like terms:                 163 = 5l + 16
  3. Subtract 16 on both sides:        147 = 5l
  4. Divide both sides by 5:             147/5 = l
  5. Rewrite:                                      l = 147/5
  6. Evaluate:                                    l = 29.4 yards

<u>Step 4: Find </u><em><u>w</u></em>

  1. Define:                    w = 2l + 8
  2. Substitute:              w = 2(29.4) + 8
  3. Multiply:                  w = 58.8 + 8
  4. Add:                        w = 66.8 yards

Can a pair of lines be both parallel and perpendicular? explain
alina1380 [7]
No, the 2 lines can never ever be both parallel and perpendicular if I'm not mistaken. This is because a set of parallel lines will never touch each other at all. However perpendicular lines are two lines that meet up to get an angle of 90. You cannot have two lines that never touch and touch at the same time.
