x + 16 = 64 |subtract 16 from both sides
x = 48
Answer: Length = 12 units
Width = 6 units
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the width of the rectangle be represented by x.
Since the length of a rectangle is twice its width, thus means that the length will be: = 2x
Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(l + w)
where,
L = length
W = width
Therefore,
Perimeter = 2(l + b)
36 = 2(2x + x)
36 = 2(3x)
36 = 6x
x = 36/6
x = 6
Width = 6 units
Length = 2 × Width = 2 × 6 = 12 units
The answer is b. I just did the question and that is the answer
Check the picture below, so the parabola looks more or less like so, with a vertex at (0 , -7), let's recall the vertex is half-way between the focus point and the directrix.
so this horizontal parabola opens up to the left-hand-side, meaning that the "P" distance is a negative value.
