Answer:

4x +14 . . . feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter is given by ...

P = 2(L+W)

P = 2((x +4) +(x +3)) = 2(2x +7)

P = 4x +14

The perimeter of the garden is 4x +14 feet.

Given that Audra was drawing a perpendicular bisector of segment AB with a compass. She started with line segment AB. Then, she placed her compass point on A and opened the compass more halfway to B.

Her next step will be "Using the width of the compass from the previous step, draw two arcs to the left and right of both A and B".

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$\bold{METHOD\ 1}$

$\text{The formula of a slope:}\\\\m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\\\\text{x-intercept:}\ (x,\ 0).\\\\\text{Susbtitute the coordinates of the points to the formula of a slope}\\\\(-3,\ -4),\ (6,\ 2),\ (x,\ 0):\\\\m=\dfrac{2-(-4)}{6-(-3)}=\dfrac{2+4}{6+3}=\dfrac{6}{9}=\dfrac{6:3}{9:3}=\dfrac{2}{3}\\\\m=\dfrac{0-2}{x-6}=\dfrac{-2}{x-6}\\\\\text{Therefore we have the equation:}\\\\\dfrac{-2}{x-6}=\dfrac{2}{3}\qquad\text{cross multiply}\\\\2(x-6)=(-2)(3)\\\\2(x-6)=-6\qquad\text{divide both sides by 2}\\\\x-6=-3\qquad\text{add 6 to both sides}\\\\x=3$
