Answer:

Perimeter of the rectangle = 14 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Step(i):-

Given length of the rectangle = 4.5 inches

Given that the width of the rectangle = $2\frac{1}{2} = \frac{5}{2} = 2.5$ inches

The area of the rectangle = length × width

= 4.5 × 2.5

= 11.25 sq inches

Step(ii):-

Perimeter of the rectangle = 2( length + width)

= 2( 4.5 + 2.5)

= 14 inches

Final answer:-

Perimeter of the rectangle = 14 inches

Answer:

C; None of the above.

Step-by-step explanation:

Pretend x=1, y=0, and z=2.

You have to match an answer to 1+0-2 (equals to -1).

The first equation would be 2+0+1. When you add them all together you get 3, and that isn't equivalent to -1, so therefore this one is not the answer.

The second equation becomes 1+2+0, and when you solve for the answer, you see that the answer is also 3, and so we can conclude that neither A or B matches with the equation above, so the answer is C, None of the above.

The length of a rectangle is 59 inches greater than twice the width. If the diagonal is 2 inches more than the length, find the

Paul [167]

So.. hmm notice the picture here

we know the length is 59 more than twice the width,
twice the width, 2 * w, or 2w
59 more than that
2w + 59

we also know that, whatever that is, the diagonal of it is,
2 more inches than that, or
(2w + 59) + 2

now.. use the pythagorean theorem
$\bf c^2=a^2+b^2\implies \qquad 
\begin{cases}
a=2w+59\\
b=w\\
c=(2w+59)+2\to 2w+61
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
(2w+61)^2=(2w+59)^2+(w)^2
\\ \qquad\qquad \uparrow\qquad \qquad\qquad \qquad \uparrow \\
\textit{expand using binomial theorem, or FOIL}$

you'd end up with a quadratic, after simplifying, solve for "w"
