I think you used the wrong subject.
your answer is B though.
Alright, so let's make the length x and the width y. 2y=x, and xy=area. 2x+2y=perimeter. Plugging 2y=x into the perimeter equation, we get that 3x=perimeter=126, and x=126/3=42
Length=42ft, width=21ft
Answer:
Using the estimate:
The car has to go for 1,200 miles but it consumes a gallon of gasoline for every 30 miles. The number of gallons it will need is therefore:
= 1,200 / 30
= 40 gallons
Each gallon costs $3.00 so the total cost is:
= 40 * 3
= $120
Without using the estimate:
The car has to go for 1,211 miles but it consumes a gallon of gasoline for every 29 miles. The number of gallons it will need is therefore:
= 1,211 / 29
= 41.76 gallons
Each gallon costs $3.40 so the total cost is:
= 41.76 * 3.40
= $141.98
<em>Using the estimate provides a lower cost of gasoline for the trip. </em>
Bear with my working out lol,
8x3 = 24in^2
9x12 = 108in^2
6x7 = 42in^2
(11x4) / 2 = 22in^2
Total = 196in^2
Try that, I couldn’t tell where the tip on the triangle fell at. So it could be wrong but that is what I got and what I would put :)
