Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that the length is four times the width, so:
We also know the area, which is 324 m². The formula for area:
Insert the known values:
Solve for w. Simplify by removing parentheses:
Divide 4 from both sides to isolate the variable:
Find the square root of both sides:
The width is 9 m.
We know the width. Now find the length by using the area formula and inserting known values:
Solve for l. Divide both sides by 9:
The length of the rectangle is 36. (You can check: 4 times 9 is 36)
Now find the perimeter:
Insert values:
The perimeter is 90 m.
Answer:
Jim's current weight = 119 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
1 Stone = 14 pounds
stone = 1.5 stone
1.5 stone = 1.5 (14 pounds) = 21 pounds
Jim lost 21 pounds
Let X be Jim's Original Weight
Y be his present weight
As per given statement in the Question:
After losing 1.5 stones (21 pounds of weight) Jim now weighs Y
Present weight = original weight - 21
Y = X -21 <u> Equation 1</u>
Also Current Weight = 85 % (Original weight)
Y = 85 % (X) =
Y=
put in Equation 1
= X-21
85X = (X-21) 100
85 X = 100 X -2100
or
2100 = 100 X - 85X
2100 = 15X
or
15 X = 2100
X= 140 pounds ( Original Weight)
Current Weight = Y = Original weight - 21 <u><em>(From Equation 1)</em></u>
Y = X -21
Y = 140 -21
Y = 119 pounds (Current Weight)
