Answer:

The length of the rectangle (l) = 3 feet

The width of the rectangle (W) =  10 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>Step(i):-</em></u>

<em>Given that the width of the rectangle  = (x+1) feet</em>

<em>Given that the length of the rectangle = ( x-6) feet</em>

<em>The area of the rectangle = 30 square feet</em>

<u><em>Step(ii):-</em></u>

We know that the area of the rectangle

                = length ×width

    30   = ( x+1)(x-6)

    30   = x² - 6x + x -6

⇒ x² - 5 x - 6 = 30

⇒ x² - 5 x - 6 - 30 =0

⇒ x² - 5 x - 36 =0

 x² - 9 x +4x - 36 =0

   x (x-9) +4 ( x-9) =0

   ( x+4 ) ( x-9) =0

     ( x+4 ) =0 and  ( x-9) =0

     x =-4 and x =9

<u><em>Step(iii):-</em></u>

we have to choose x =9

     The length of the rectangle (l) =  x-6 = 9-6 =3

      The width of the rectangle (W) =  x+1 =  9 +1 = 10

<u><em>Final answer:-</em></u>

The length of the rectangle (l) = 3 feet

The width of the rectangle (W) =  10 feet

The values of x and y vary directly
ss7ja [257]

Answer:

y = (1/4)x

Step-by-step explanation:

"Direct variation" here signifies y = kx, where k is the constant of proportionality.

Then y = kx.  Here we are to find k using the info that x = 12 and y = 3:

3 = k(12), or

k = 3/12, or k = 1/4

Then y = (1/4)x

1 . What is the distance between the two points. (0,5 1,3), (-0,4, -1,3) ?
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x1 = 0.5 x2 = -0.4 y1 = 1.3 y2 = -1.3

\sqrt{(x2 - x1)^{2}+(y2 - y1)^{2}

\sqrt{(-0.4 - 0.5)^{2}+(-1.3 - 1.3)^{2}

=2.75
