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

Mathematics
1 answer:
ipn [44]3 years ago
6 0

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

Abigail mixes 2/3 pounds of walnuts with 3/5 pound of dried fruit. To create more of the same mixture, how many pounds of walnut
nignag [31]
1 1/9

To figure out how much walnuts to a pound of dried fruit you’d need to do proportions. So we cross multiply:

2/3 = X
—————- —————-
3/5 = 1

You multiply diagnols 2/3 x 1 = 2/3
3/5 times x is 3/5x.

2/3 = 3/5x. Isolate the variable. Divide 3/5 on both sides cancel out 3/5. 2/3 divide by 3/5 is 2/3 x 5/3 which is 10/9 which equals 1 1/9.

So for 1 lb of dried fruit you need 1 1/9 lb of walnuts to maintain the same mixture

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer: Randomly assign the 1,200 students to <u>6 equal-sized</u> groups. Then select one of the groups and place their names in the bin. Randomly select the winner from the bin.

Step-by-step explanation:

     First, let us see how many bins we will need in total.

1,200 students / 200 notecards per bin = 6 bins

     Now, the first two options do not give all students a fair chance of winning. They are not our answer.

     The last two have a different number of groups. Looking at the calculation we did earlier, we will need 6 equal-sized groups. This means our answer is the last option.
