The sign in the exponent: positive->increases, negative->decreases. Think that a negative sign implies 1/exponential and you'll clearly see the reason.
Answer: the width of the rectangle
= 31feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
Perimeter of a triangle = 2( l + b)
let the width = xfeet
The length = 2x feet.
Substitute for this in the equation above,
2( 2x + x ) = 186
2(3x) = 186
Divide by 2 through
3x = 93
Divide by 3
x = 31feet. Therefore, the width of the rectangular = 31feet.
Check.
Since the length is twice the width,
L = 31 x 2
= 62feet.
Put that into the formula above
2( 62 + 31 )
2 x 93
= 186 which is the perimeter of the rectangle.
