Answer:
x = 5.25
Step-by-step explanation:
width = x
length = (x + 8)
length that overlaps with width = (x + 8) - x = 8
perimeter (clockwise)
= 90
= x + 8 + (x + 8) + x + (x + 8) + x + 8 + (x + 8) + x + (x + 8)
= 8x + 6(8)
= 8x + 48
8x + 48 = 90
8x = 42
x = 5.25
Answer:
1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer to this is x=3/16
So with this, we will be using proportions. To solve for x, our proportion will be 
Firstly, cross-multiply: 
Next, subtract 36 on both sides: 
Next, replace -9x with 3x-12x 
Next, factor x^2+3x and -12x-36 separately:
. After, rewrite it as 
Next, solve for x separately in the two parentheses:


Since we can't have a negative length, x = 12.
To solve for y, our proportion will be 
Firstly, cross-multiply: 
Next, just square root each side, and your answer will be (rounded to hundredths) 
In short, x = 12 and y = 10.39.
A. Slope is defined by rise/run. It looks like the points where it intersects the axes are at (0, 6) and (2, 0)
Basically you take (y-y1)/(x-x1), which in this case could be (6-0)/(0-2), which is -3.
b. The perpendicular slope would be the negative inverse of that.
The inverse of 3 is 1/3, so the negative inverse of -3 would also be 1/3.
c. The parallel slope is the same as the original slope.
d. Plug these points in for y=mx+b.
2=(1/3)(-1)+b
2=-1/3+b
b=7/3. (that's 2 and 1/3).
The equation for that line would be y=(1/3)x+(7/3)
e. The y intercept is found when x=0. But it's also the b in the y=mx+b equation, so the y intercept is (0, 7/3).
In case that's hard to read:
a. Slope = -3
b. Perpendicular Slope = 1/3
c. Parallel Slope = -3
d. y=(1/3)x+(7/3)
e. Y intercept = (0,, 7/3)
Hope that helps!
