Answer:

length = 6 cm; width = 5.5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length = x. Let the width = y.

We use the formulas for area and perimeter using x and y, and the given values.

area = length * width

perimeter = 2(length + width)

xy = 33

2(x + y) = 23

Solve the first equation for x:

x = 33/y

Substitute 33/y for x in the second equation.

2(33/y + y) = 23

66/y + 2y = 23

Mulrtiply both sides by y.

66 + 2y^2 = 23y

2y^2 - 23y + 66 = 0

(2y - 11)(y - 6) = 0

2y - 11 = 0   or   y - 6 = 0

y = 11/2 = 5.5   or   y = 6

xy = 33

x * 11/2 = 33

x = 33 * 2/11

x = 6

Answer: length = 6 cm; width = 5.5 cm

Let's label the man's age "x" because it's the unknown value that we're trying to find. Remember that the daughter's age is represented y "a."

x = 4a-3 would be an expression to represent the man's age :)

How many places do you need to move the decimal to the left to write the number below in scientific notation?
bonufazy [111]

Answer:

A) 1.3*10¹

B)7*10⁰ - Actually I am not very sure if it is required to write 10⁰. I normally don't write 10⁰ (When I solve problems in physics if the answer for example is 7 I just write 7 not 7*10⁰). But if you check on Google 10⁰ has been mentioned

C)1.4*10¹

D)1.2*10¹

Step-by-step explanation:

For any number when you express it in a scientific notation, You should make sure that the number (for example : X) X which is going to be multiplied with a power of 10 (for example:10³,10⁴10¹⁰ etc), X should be between 1 and 10

This might sound very complicated so I can give you an example to simplify

Let's take 1.3*10¹

In this case X is 1.3

This means X*10¹

The number X is being multiplied with the power of 10(example:10¹,10²,10⁰,10⁹ ,etc) .In the above case X is being multiplied with 10¹.

Now this number X should be between 1 and 10.(Including 1)

Scientific notation= X*power of 10

where x>=1 & x<10

That is the explanation

Hope it helps

If you think my explanation is a bit complicated

The perimeter of a rectangle is 25 2/5 ft. The length is
Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

Width = 4.85 feet

Length = 7.85 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Perimeter of a rectangle = 25 2/5 ft = 25.4 feet

Length = 3 + Width

Computation:

Assume;

Width = a

So,

Length = 3 + a

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(l + b)

25.4 = 2[(3 + a) + a]

25.4 = 2[3 + 2a]

25.4 = 6 + 4a

4a = 19.4

a = 4.85

Width = 4.85 feet

Length = 3 + 4.85

Length = 7.85 feet

What is the length of the line segment with endpoints (11, −4) and (−12, −4
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

23 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the distance formula: d = \sqrt{(x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2}

Plug in the 2 points:

d = \sqrt{(-12 - 11)^2 + (-4 + 4)^2}

d = \sqrt{529}

d = 23

So, the distance is 23 units
