Hi! I'm happy to help!
Our total line is JL (4x), and it is split into two parts: JK, and KL. We have our values, and we know that JK+KL=JL, so we can substitute our values and solve for x:
4x=(2x+3)+(x)
4x=3x+3
To solve for x, we have to isolate it on one side of the equation.
First, let's subtract 3x from both sides so that we can isolate x:
4x=3x+3
-3x -3x
x=3
<u>So, our x=3, which means that KL=3.</u>
I hope this was helpful, keep learning! :D
Let w represent the width of the rectangle in cm. Then its length in cm is (3w+9). The perimeter is the sum of two lengths and two widths, so is ...
... 418 = 2(w + (3w+9))
... 209 = 4w +9 . . . . . . divide by 2, collect terms
... 200 = 4w . . . . . . . . subtract 9
... 50 = w . . . . . . . . . . divide by 4
... length = 3w+9 = 3·50 +9 = 159
The dimensions of this piece of land are 159 cm by 50 cm.
Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for an area of a regular parallelogram is:
A = l * w
Where,
l = length
w = width
We are given that the total measurement of fence is only
60 feet and one side of the house is used as one side of the pen. Therefore,
l + 2 w = 60
<span>or simplifying to make an explicit expression for
one variable, say l:</span>
l = 60 – 2 w
<span>Substituting to the 1st equation:</span>
A = (60 – 2 w) * w
A = 60 w – 2 w^2
<span>The maxima are obtained by getting the 1st
derivative then equating dA/dw = 0:</span>
dA/dw
= 60 – 4 w
60 –
4 w = 0
4 w
= 60
w =
15
Since
l = 60 - 2w
l =
60 – 30
l =
30
<span>Therefore
the dimension that will make the largest pen is 15 ft by 30 ft.</span>
