Answer: The length is 12 feet and the width is 4 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let L represent the length of the bedroom closet.

Let W represent the width of the bedroom closet..

The formula for determining the perimeter of a rectangle is expressed as

Perimeter = 2(L + W)

The perimeter of the bedroom closet is 32 ft. This means that

2(L + W) = 32

Dividing through by 2, it becomes

L + W = 32/2

L + W = 16

The area of the bedroom closet is 48 ft². This means that

LW = 48 - - - - - - - -- - - - - - 1

Substituting L = 16 - W into equation 1, it becomes

W(16 - W) = 48

16W - W² = 48

W² - 16W + 48 = 0

W² - 12W - 4W + 48 = 0

W(W - 12) - 4(W - 12) = 0

W - 12 = 0 or W - 4 = 0

W = 12 or W = 4

L = 16 - 4 = 12

A train travels at a speed of 48.6 km/h. Express this speed in<br>(ii) cm/min.<br>(1) m/s,<br>​
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Conversion factors:

1 km = 1000 m

1 m = 100 cm

1 h = 60 min

1 min = 60 sec

48.6 km/h = 81,000 cm/min = 13.5 m/sec

What is the slope of a line perpendicular to the line whose equation is 4x−10y=404x−10y=40. Fully simplify your answer.
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

-  \frac{5}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

4x -10y= 40

Let's rewrite this equation in the slope-intercept form (y= mx +c) so that we can obtain it's slope.

10y= 4x -40

Divide both side by 10:

y =  \frac{2}{5} x - 4

The product of the gradients of perpendicular lines is -1.

⅖(gradient of line)= -1

Gradient of perpendicular line

=  - 1 \div  \frac{2}{5}

=  - 1 \times  \frac{5}{2}

=  -  \frac{5}{2}

There is a bag filled with 4 blue and 5 red marbles.
gavmur [86]

1) first pick red 5/9 blue 4/9


2) second pick when red has been picked red now becomes 4/8, blue stays 4/8


2) Second pick when blue has been picked blue now becomes 3/8, red stays 5/8


Mind you, you only need both different colours so:

first pick red 5/9 x sec pick blue 4/8 = 20/72

and first pick blue 4/9 x sec pick red 5/8 = 20/72

add both up 20/72 + 20/72 = 40/72 = 5/9
