A rectangle’s length is 8 cm more than three times its width. If the perimeter is 128 cm, find the length and the width.

1 answer:

5 0

Width = w=?
Length = l=(3w+8)cm
Perimeter = p = 128cm

Perimeter of a Rectangle = length + length + width + width
Perimeter of a Rectangle =2 length +2 width
P = 2l +2 w
128=2(3w+8)+2w
128=6w+16+2w
128-16=8w
112=8w
112/8=8w/8
14=w
w=14

Width = w= 14cm
Length = l=(3w+8)=3(14)+8 = 42+8 = 50cm

Find a point-slope form for the line with slope 1/5 and passing through the point (-7,-4).

Basile [38]

Answer:

y + 4 = ⅕(x + 7)

Step-by-step explanation:

The "point-slope" form of the equation of a straight line is:

y − y₁ = m(x − x₁)

where m is the slope and (x₁, y₁) is a point on the line.

If m = ⅕ and (x₁, y₁) = (-7, - 4), the point-slope equation is

y + 4 = ⅕(x + 7)

The Figure below shows the graph of your line and a point at (-7, -4).

What is in simplest form? A. B. C. D.

alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

C. 8√3

Step-by-step explanation:

* = multiply or times

To find √192 in its simplest form we need to divide it by a square number like 64.

192/64 = 3

√192 = √64 * √3 = 8√3

Prove that DJKL~ DJMN using SAS Similarity Theorem. Plot the points J (1,1), K(2,3), L(4,1) and J (1,1), M(3,5), N(7,1). Draw DJ

dolphi86 [110]

Answer and Step-by-step explanation: The triangles are plotted and shown in the attachment.

SAS Similarity Theorem is by definition: if two sides in one triangle are proportional to two sides of another triangle and the angles formed by those sides in each triangle is congruent, the triangles are similar.

For the triangles on the grid, we know that ΔJKL and ΔJMN have a congruent angle in J as shown in the image. To prove they are similar, we find the slope of sides KL and MN:

Slope of KL:

slope = $\frac{y_{K} - y_{L} }{x_{K} - x_{L} }$
