Find the length and width of a rectangle whose perimeter is 20 feet and whose area is 21 square feet

Mathematics

Answer:

Length = 3

Width = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter is 20 feet

The area is 21 feet

Let x represent the length

Let y represent the width

20 = 2(x+y)

x+y= 20/2

x+y = 10.........equation 1

x × y= 21......equation 2

From equation 1

x= 10-y

Substitute 10-y for x in equation 2

(10-y)y= 21

10y - y^2 = 21

y^2 -10y + 21= 0

After factorization the result will be

(x-3)(y-7)

x-3= 0

x= 0+3

x= 3

y-7= 0

y= 0+7

y= 7

Hence the length is 3 and the width is 7

Answer:

I think it might be 30pi m or 94.2 m.

Step-by-step explanation: So you are finding the perimeter of the circle. You have a radius of 15, the perimeter for a circle is C=2pir. Now we can do  C=2pi(15). The answer is 30pi or C=2 x 3.14 x 15= 94.2 Hope this helps.

Is perpendicular to the line y = 2x + 1<br> and through the point (-1,5)
Monica [59]

Answer:

-2x+3

Step-by-step explanation:

Using y=mx+b

To make the line perpendicular, you just need to make the slope (m=2) negative. To make it go through (-1, 5), you just need to adjust the b value to raise the graph to a point where it will pass through the point.
