Answer:

8m ×3.5m

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of rectangle= length ×width

Let the length and width of the rectangle be L and W meters respectively.

Area of rectangle= LW

LW= 28 -----(1)

L= 2W +1 -----(2)

Subst. (2) into (1):

(2W +1)(W)= 28

<em>Expand:</em>

2W² +W= 28

<em>-28 on both sides:</em>

2W² +W -28= 0

<em>Factorise</em><em>:</em>

(W +4)(2W -7)= 0

W +4=0 or 2W -7=0

W= -4 (reject) or W= 3.5

Substitute W= 3.5 into (2):

L= 2(3.5) +1

L= 7 +1

L= 8

∴ The dimensions of the rectangle is 8m ×3.5m.

QRST is a parallelogram. Find x and y.
Wewaii [24]

In parallelograms, opposite sides are congruent, meaning that they are the same lengths. So, we have:

y - 4x = 9

-x + 4 = y

Add x to both sides of the second equation:

y + x = 4

y - 4x = 9

This is a system of linear equations. Solve by eliminating the y and subtracting the two equations:

5x = -5

x = -1

Use x to solve for y:

y + (-1) = 4

y = 5

So, x = -1 and y = 5.
