Answer:

The court has a length of 70 feet, and a width of 35 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know two things:

the the length is twice the width

l = 2w

We also know that the perimeter is 210 feet. Noting that the perimeter of a rectangle is equal to twice its length plus twice its width, we can say:

210 = 2w + 2l

Now we can substitute the first definition of l into the second equation:

210 = 2w + 2(2w)

And now we can solve for w:

210 = 2w + 2(2w)

210 = 2w = 4w

210 = 6w

w = 210 / 6

w = 35

Now that we have w, we can plug that into our first little equation to find l:

l = 2w

l = 2 × 35

l = 70

So the width of the court is 35 feet, and it's length is 70.

Partition segment MR into a 2:1 ratio with point L. What are the coordinates of L?

lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

<em>The coordinates of L are (4,5)</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Partition</u>

Given the points M(-2,-3) R(7,9), we must find a point L(x,y) such that the distance from M to L is double the distance from L to R. This means:

$\overline{ML}=2.\overline{LR}$

We'll apply that relation on both axes separately:

$x_M-x=2(x-x_R)$

$-2-x=2(x-7)$

Operating:

$-2-x=2x-14$

Joining like terms:

$3x=12$

Solving:

$x= 12/3=4$

Now for the y-axis:

$y_M-y=2(y-y_R)$

$-3-y=2(y-9)$

Operating

$-3-y=2y-18$

Joining like terms:

$3y=15$

Solving

$y=15/3=5$

Thus the coordinates of L are (4,5)

Mrs. Yang bought 5 chickens and 3 ducks for $81. A chicken cost $5 more than a duck.

anygoal [31]

The cost of each duck is $ 7 and cost of each chicken is $ 12.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

5 chickens and 3 ducks are bought by $ 81

A chicken costs $ 5 more than a duck.

To find the cost of each duck and cost of each chicken.

Let,

The cost of each duck = x

The cost of each chicken = x+5

According to the problem,

5(x+5)+3x = 81

or, 5x+25+3x = 81

or, 8x = 81-25

or, 8x = 56

or, x = 7

Hence,

The cost of each duck = $ 7

The cost of each chicken = $ 7+5 = $ 12
