Answer: 5 and 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Perimeter = 2 ( L + W)
18 = 2(L + W) divide through by 2
9 = L + W
9 - L = W
Area = L * W
20 = L (9 - L)
20 = 9L - L^2
L^2 - 9L + 20 = 0 factor
(L - 5) (L - 4) = 0
Set both factors to 0 and solve for L
L = 5 and L = 4
This is a ratio problem; the ratio of the length to width is constant (and therefore equal):
4 /6 = 15 / x
Now, with a ratio, we may do any allowable algebra operation: cross-multiply, invert both sides, multiply or divide both sides by the same amount, etc.
Let's cross-multiply:
4x = (15)(6)
x = 90/4
x = 22.5 in.
Answer:
(8, 6)=(x, y) | (6, 5)= (y, x)
Step-by-step explanation:
Start at the x, and find the value. Next, find the value of y.
You already know the value for y is 6, so next find the value of x, which is 5.
If you take the 6 and subtract it by 2 you will get 4
Answer:
a=2
Step-by-step explanation:
subtract 10 from both sides
2a^3=26-10
simplify
2a^3=16
Divivde both side by 2
a^2=16/2
simplify
a^3=8
