Answer:

The length is 28 and the width is 11

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we can make the width as x.

Since the length is 5 less than 3 times the width, it's going to be 3x - 5

So now we've got the length and width, just need to find the perimeter, which is all the sides added up together. They already gave us the perimeter, so we just have to solve the equation:

2(3x - 5) + 2x = 78

6x - 10 + 2x = 78

8x - 10 = 78

8x = 88

x = 11

x = 11, but remember, x is the width, not the length. Since we already found what x is, we just have to plug it into the equation of:

3x - 5

3 × 11 - 5

33 - 5 = 28

Answer: Length = 28 (don't forget to add the unit if there is one)

Answer:

3.61 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

The bird starts 50 feet in the air, so will come down to a height of 40 feet after 3.61 seconds.

We want to solve h = 40.

40 = -16t^2 +55t +50

16t^2 -55t -10 = 0

t = (55 +√(55^2 -4(16)(-10)))/(2(16)) = (55 + √3665)/32 ≈ 3.61060

The bird will be 40 ft above the ground the first time after about 3.61 seconds.

Answer: $V=51\ \frac{mi}{h}$

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to used the following formula:

$V=\frac{d}{t}$

Where "V" is the speed, "d" is the distance and "t" is the time.

In this case you know that Kevin traveled at a constant speed on the highway from Hickory Hills to Chicago in 20 minutes (which is $\frac{1}{3}\ h$ ) and the distance is 17 miles. Then, you can identify that:

$t=\frac{1}{3}\ h\\\\d=17\ mi$

Therefore, knowing these values, you can substitute them into the formula. Then, you get:

$V=\frac{17\ mi}{\frac{1}{3}\ h}\\\\V=51\ \frac{mi}{h}$
