Answer:

7 inches and 5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The length the length and width of the rectangle be l and b.

Accodrding to question,

Width, b = l-2

Perimeter, P = 24 inches

We know that,

The perimeter of a rectangle is given by :

P = 2(l+b)

24 = 2(l+l-2)

12 = 2l-2

14=2l

l = 7 inches

Width, b = 7-2 = 5 inches

Hence, the length and width of the rectangle are 7 inches and 5 inches respectively.

Find the value of Y<br> .....
vekshin1

Answer:

y = 6 \sqrt{3}  \: units

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the value of y, first we need to find the length of the perpendicular dropped from one of the vertices of the triangle to its opposite side.

By geometric mean theorem:

Length of the perpendicular

=\sqrt{9\times 3}

=\sqrt{27}\: units

Next, by Pythagoras theorem:

{y}^{2}  =  {9}^{2}  +  {( \sqrt{27} )}^{2}  \\  \\  {y}^{2}  = 81 + 27 \\  \\  {y}^{2}  = 108 \\  \\ y =  \sqrt{108}  \\  \\ y =  \sqrt{36 \times 3}  \\  \\ y =  \sqrt{ {6}^{2}  \times 3}  \\  \\ y = 6 \sqrt{3}  \: units

Given ΔABC with A(–4, –2), B(4, 4), and C(18, –8), write the equation for the line containing median segment The term is line se
Monica [59]
Here we want to find the equation of the line containing the median CP.

P, being the midpoint of AB can be found using the midpoint formula as:

\displaystyle{ P=( \frac{-4+4}{2} ,  \frac{-2+4}{2} )=(0, 1).


The slope m of the line through CP can be found by the slope formula using points C(18, -8) and P(0, 1):

\displaystyle{ m= \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}= \frac{-8-1}{18-0}= \frac{-9}{18}= \frac{-1}{2}.


Now, we can write the equation of the line with slope -1/2, passing through
P(0, 1):

y-1= \frac{-1}{2}(x-0)\\\\y= -\frac{1}{2}x+1.


Answer: y=-\frac{1}{2}x+1
