Answer:

Length  =25 inches

Width = 15 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let l = length of rectangle, w = width of rectangle

Given the area and the perimeter of the rectangle, we can write:

lw = 375

2l+2w=80

So:

l+w = 80\div2

=40

l=40-w

Now, we can use substitution to find the value of w:

lw = 375

(40-w)w = 375

40w-w^2 = 375

375+w^2-40w = 0 (Quadratic equation)

(w-15)(w-25) = 0

∴ w = 15, 25

We can use substitution again to find the value of l

lw = 375

l=375\div w

=25,15

∵ Length usually refers to the longer side of a rectangle, ∴ length =25 inches and width =15 inches.

Hope this helps :)

8/9k + 9/5 = -4 - 9/7k
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

k=-1827/685

Step-by-step explanation:

8/9k+9/5=-4-9/7k

8/9k-(-9/7k)=-4-9/5

8/9k+9/7k=-20/5-9/5

56/63k+81/63k=-29/5

137/63k=-29/5

k=(-29/5)/(137/63)

k=(-29/5)(63/137)

k=-1827/685

Find the missing measures. Write your numerical answers only with a comma in between.
Katen [24]

Answer:

m∠T = 72°

m∠U = 54°

Step-by-step explanation:

Property of an isosceles triangle,

Opposite angles of two equal sides of an isosceles triangle are equal in measure.

By this property, in the given triangle STU,

Since, ST ≅ TU,

m∠S = m∠U = 54°

Since, sum of interior angles of a triangle is 180°

m∠T + m∠S + m∠U = 180°

m∠T + 54° + 54° = 180°

m∠T = 180° - 108°

m∠T = 72°
