The perimeter of a rectangle is twice the sum of its side lengths.
P=2(L+W), we are told that L=3W and P=176 so
2(3W+W)=176
2(4W)=176
8W=176
W=22 ft, since L=3W
L=66 ft
So the yard is 22 feet wide and 66 feet long.
Answer:
(x1, y1) = (1, 3)
(x2, y2) = (4, 12)
Step-by-step explanation:
y= x^2 - 4
y= 5x - 8
(substitute the value for y)
x^2 - 4 = 5x - 8
(solve the equation)
x = 1
x = 4
(substitute the values)
y = 5 × 1 - 8
y = 5 × 4 - 8
(solve the equations)
y = -3
y = 12
( the possible solutions are)
x1, y1 = 1, -3
x2, y2 = 4, 12
(check the solutions)
-3 = 1^2 - 4
-3 = 5 × 1 - 8
12 = 4^2 - 4
12 = 5 × 4 - 8
(simplify)
-3 = -3
-3 = -3
12 = 12
12 = 12
(the ordered pairs are the solutions)
