Perimeter is adding all 4 sides together.
To find the length and width divide total perimeter by 2:
21 / 2 = 10.5
We now know the length of 1 side and the width of 1 side need to equal 10.5.
Since the original piece was a square we also know the width needs to equal 1/2 of the length.
So we have L + 1/2L = 10.5
Add the common terms 1 L + 1/2 L = 1 and 1/2 L
To Find L divide 10.5 by 1-1/2, which equals 7
To find the width subtract 7 from 10.5, which equals 3.5
So the paper is now 3.5 inches by 7 inches.
Answer:
Y=-4x
Step-by-step explanation:
We know the slope is negative since the line decreases from left to right. Starting at 0,0 we go down 4 and to the right 1 to get to the next point. Therefore the slope is the change in y over the change in x or -4/1= -4. The y intercept is 0 since it crosses the y axis at 0,0. The equation of the line in slope intercept form is y= mx+b or y= -4x
= 8
