Answer:

Length is 20 meters and Width is 16 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

A parallelogram is a 4-sided figure with 2 pair of parallel sides.

The perimeter is the sum of all 4 sides of the parallelogram.

Let the length of parallelogram be x and width be y.

The perimeter is 72, thus we can write:

x + x + y + y = 72

or

2x + 2y = 72

Also, width is 4 less than length, thus we can write:

y = x - 4

Now, we replace the 1st equation with the 2nd equation and solve for x first. Shown below:

2x + 2y = 72

2x + 2(x - 4) = 72

2x + 2x - 8 = 72

4x = 72 + 8

4x = 80

x = 80/4 = 20

And now y:

y = x - 4

y = 20 - 4

y = 16

Thus, the Length is 20 meters and Width is 16 meters

I don't understand this at all.
Arada [10]
Okay, first you got to simplify the mixed numbers. Example: 2 and 1/2. I got 5/2, how is this? first multiply 2 * 2 then add 1 from the numerator. sorry if this doesn't make since. You got to do this before you do the actual math.

Please help I'm bad at math i don't understand

Answer:

a) Vertex is at (-3, -1)

b) y-intercept is at (0,8)

c) x intercept is at (-4,0) and (-2,0)

d) x=-3

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertex of a parabola is the lowest or highest point, implying that all points are reflected across it. It's the only y value that doesn't have a corresponding pair.

For example, -1 and 1, -3 and 3, and so on.

The vertex is at (-3,-1) because it is the sole point without a corresponding y value (-3,-1)

The y-intercept is where the parabola meets the y axis or when the x value equals 0. To determine the y-intercept, simply find when x = 0.

intercept y: (0,8)

The x-intercepts are the same as the y-intercepts; you must determine where the parabola crosses the x-axis or when y = 0.

x intercept 1:(-4,0)

x intercept 2: (-2,0)

The axis of symmetry is also the x coordinate of the vertex which is 3 so

x = 3
