Answer:

The rectangle has a width of 18 inches and a height length of 8 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a rectangle is described by the equation:

p = 2w + 2l

where <em>l</em> is width, <em>h</em> is height, and <em>p</em> is perimeter.

We're also told that the total perimeter is 52 inches.

We're also told that the length is six inches less than three times the width.  We can express that as w = 3l - 6.

We can plug that definition of w into the perimeter equation to find the length:

p = 2w + 2l\\52 = 2(3l - 6) + 2 * l\\52 = 6l - 12 + 2l\\52 + 12 = 8l\\8l = 64\\l = 64/8\\l = 8

Now we can take that and the given perimeter, and substitute those into the perimeter equation to find the width:

p = 2w + 2l\\52 = 2w + 2(8)\\52 = 2w + 16\\36 = 2w\\w = 36 / 2\\w = 18

So the width is 18

A chemist recorded the change in temperature of a cooling liquid as −25.5°F over a 1.5 minute period. The temperature fell at a
Strike441 [17]

The rate of change in temperature is −17°F/min

<h3>Rate of change of a function</h3>

The formula for calculating the rate of change of a function is expressed as:

Rate of change = rise/run

This is also known as the slope of the function

Given the following parameters

Temperature = −25.5°F

Cooling time = 1.5mins

Determine the rate of change

Rate = −25.5°F/1.5min

Rate = −17°F/min

Hence the rate of change in temperature is −17°F/min

Check the picture below.

notice the sides, now, on the second triangle, side 6 slants a bit more to fit in 13, on the third triangle, side 6 slants even further to fit 13 in, now, if 6 were to slant completely, it'll make a flat-line with side 5, and there will be a triangle no more.

but even if side 6 would stretch to a flat-line, 5+6 is just 11, whilst side 13 is longer than that, so no dice.
