<span>b/a=c/d
Two lines are parallel to each other if they have the same slope. So let's look at the options and see which one matches that statement.
b/aâ‹…c/d=â’1
* This is checking to see if the two lines are perpendicular to each other. Almost the exact opposite of parallel. So this is the wrong answer.
b/a=c/d
* b/a is a legitimate slope. c/d is also a good slope. And they're being checked to see if they're equal to each other. So this is the correct answer. But let's see if the next two options will give us a chuckle or two.
b/a=d/c
* b/a is OK. d/c almost looks ok, check the figure. And d/c is NOT a slope. The slope is delta Y over delta X. And d/c is delta X over delta Y. The inverse of the slope. So comparing those two values is meaningless. So it's a wrong answer.
b/aâ‹…d/c=â’1
* And they're trying the inverse of the slope trick again. WRONG. And they're checking if it's perpendicular. Also wrong. So definitely not a good choice.</span>
Hey there! I'm happy to help!
Let's call the length and width L and W respectively.
L=2W+8
2W+2L=124
We plug our value of L into the second equation and solve for W.
2W+2(2W+8)=124
We undo the parentheses with the distributive property.
2W+4W+16=124
Combine like terms.
6W+16=124
Subtract 16 from both sides.
6W=108
Divide both sides by 6.
W=18
We plug this W value into the first equation to solve for L.
L=2(18)+8
L=36+8
L=44
So, the length is 44 feet and the width is 18 feet.
Have a wonderful day! :D
