Answer:
80 m^2
Step-by-step explanation:
The given information lets you write two equations involving length (x) and width (y).
- 2(x +y) = 36 . . . . the perimeter is 36 m
- (x+1)(y+2) -xy = 30 . . . . increasing the length and width increases area
The second of these equations simplifies to another linear equation, giving a system of linear equations easily solved.
xy +y +2x + 2 -xy = 30
2x +y = 28 . . . . . . . subtract 2
Dividing the first equation by 2 gives
x +y = 18
and subtracting this from the above equation gives ...
(2x +y) -(x +y) = 28 -18
x = 10
Then
y = 18 -10 = 8
The area of the original rectangle is xy = 10·8 = 80 m^2.
Answer: y=-2x-9
Step-by-step explanation:
If ANGL is a square, then NG and LG are adjacent sides.
Adjacent sides are perpendicular. [Each angle is 90°]
The equation of line NG is .
By comparing it to equation in slope intercept form y=mx+c ( where , m= slope , c=y-interecpt)
slope =
Let slope of LG be <em>n</em>, then
[Product of slopes of two perpendicular line =-1]
Equation of a line passes through (a,b) and have slope m is given by :-
Equation of LG :
[In intercept form]
