Answer:

a) The perimeter of the rectangle =

= 22 units

b) The area of the rectangle

= 30 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve the above question using the formula

= √(x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²

When we are given vertices (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)

The vertices: (-1, -2), (-6, -2), (-6, -8), (-1, -8)

We have to find the length of the sides

Side A

(-1, -2), (-6, -2)

= √(-6 - (-1))² +( -2 -(-2))²

= √-5² + 0²

= √25

= 5 units

Side B

(-6, -2), (-6, -8)

= √(-6 - (-6))² + (-8 - (-2))²

= √(-6 +6)² + (-8 +2)²

= √0² + -6²

= √36

= 6 units

Side C

(-6, -8), (-1, -8)

= √(-1 - (-6))² +(-8 - (-8))²

= √(-1 + 6)² + (-8 + 8)²

=√ 5² + 0²

= √25

= 5 units

Side D

(-1, -2), (-1, -8)

= √(-1 -(-1))² + (-8 - (-2))²

= √(-1 + 1)² + ( -8 + 2)²

= √0 + -6²

= √0 + 36

= √36

= 6 units

From the above calculation,

Side A = Side C = 5 units

Side B = Side D = 6 units

Hence, this polygon is a quadrilateral called the RECTANGLE.

Therefore:

a) The perimeter of the rectangle =

2L + 2W

= 2(5) + 2(6)

= 10 units + 12 units

= 22 units

b) The area of the rectangle

= Length × Width

= 5 units × 6 units

= 30 square units

A collection of stamps consists of 3c stamps 5c stamps and 7c stamps. There are 6 more 3c stamps than 5c stamps and two more 7c
Deffense [45]

The number of 3¢ stamps that are in the collection is: 22.

<h3>What is an expression?</h3>

An expression can be defined as a mathematical equation which is used to show the relationship existing between two or more variables and numerical quantities.

In this exercise, you're required to determine the number of 3 cents (3¢) . Therefore, we would translate the word problem into an algebraic expression and then evaluate it as follows:

<u>Note:</u> 100 cents (¢) is equal to 1 dollar ($).

A collection of stamps consists of 3¢ stamps, 5¢ stamps and 7¢ stamps; 3¢ + 5¢ + 7¢ = 194

6 more 3¢ stamps than 5¢ stamps; 3¢ = 5¢ + 6  ⇒ 5¢ = 3¢ - 6

Two more 7¢ stamps than 3¢ stamps; 7¢ = 3¢ + 2

Combining the above equations, we have:

3¢ + 3¢ - 6 + 3¢ + 2 = 194

9¢ = 198

¢ = 198/9

¢ = 22.

Determine which of the following equations, when graphed, intersect at the point (4, 0). Select all that apply. x - y = 4 -x - y
Elza [17]

Answer: only (x-y=4) and (x+y=4).


Step-by-step explanation:

Notice target point has y=0, so all terms with y are zero. Then all 6 equations reduce to m x = k, for various m and k. So calculate 4×m and compare to k six times.


x - y = 4 4=4 yes

-x - y = 4 -4=4 no

2x - y = 7 8=7 no

x + y = 4 4=4 yes

2x + y = 7 8=7 no

2x + y = -7 8=-7 no.
