Answer:

  • Length = 17 inches

  • Width = 12 inches

⠀

Step-by-step explanation:

⠀

As it is given that, the length of a rectangle is 5 in longer than its width and the perimeter of the rectangle is 58 in and we are to find the length and width of the rectangle. So,

⠀

Let us assume the width of the rectangle as x inches and therefore, the length will be (x + 5) inches .

⠀

Now, <u>According to the Question :</u>

⠀

{\longrightarrow \qquad { \pmb{\frak {2 ( Length + Breadth )= Perimeter_{(Rectangle)} }}}}

⠀

{\longrightarrow \qquad { {\sf{2 ( x + 5 + x )= 58 }}}}

⠀

{\longrightarrow \qquad { {\sf{2 ( 2x + 5  )= 58 }}}}

⠀

{\longrightarrow \qquad { {\sf{ 4x + 10= 58 }}}}

⠀

{\longrightarrow \qquad { {\sf{ 4x = 58  - 10}}}}

⠀

{\longrightarrow \qquad { {\sf{ 4x = 48}}}}

⠀

{\longrightarrow \qquad { {\sf{ x =  \dfrac{48}{4} }}}}

⠀

{\longrightarrow \qquad{ \underline{ \boxed { \pmb{\mathfrak {x = 12}} }}} }\:  \:  \bigstar

⠀

Therefore,

  • The width of the rectangle is 12 inches .

⠀

Now, We are to find the length of the rectangle:

{\longrightarrow \qquad{ { \frak{\pmb{Length = x + 5 }}}}}

⠀

{\longrightarrow \qquad{ { \frak{\pmb{Length = 12 + 5 }}}}}

⠀

{\longrightarrow \qquad{ { \frak{\pmb{Length = 17}}}}}

⠀

Therefore,

  • The length of the rectangle is 17 inches .

Answer:

Length: 17 in, Width: 12 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Let l=length and w=width

l=w+5

2(w+5)+2w=58

4w=48

w=12, l=17

A submarine is exploring the Pacific Ocean. At 502.5 feet below sea level, the water temperature is 63 1/4°F. The submarine dive
cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

-502.5 - 115 = - 617.5

63 1/4 - 2 1/5 =

63 - 2 = 61

1/4 - 1/5 = 5/20 - 4/20 = 1/20

so 63 1/4 - 2 1/5 = 61 1/20

after the sub dove, elevation level is - 617.5 and temp is 61 1/20 F

line AB has endpoints A (-3, 1) and B (4, 5), find the coordinates of point p on directed line segment AB that partitions AB in
Margarita [4]
<h3>Given</h3>

A(-3, 1), B(4, 5)

<h3>Find</h3>

coordinates of P on AB such that AP/PB = 5/2

<h3>Solution</h3>

AP/PB = 5/2 . . . . . desired result

2AP = 5PB . . . . . . multiply by 2PB

2(P-A) = 5(B-P) . . . meaning of the above

2P -2A = 5B -5P . . eliminate parentheses

7P = 2A +5B . . . . . collect P terms

P = (2A +5B)/7 . . . .divide by the coefficient of P

P = (2(-3, 1) +5(4, 5))/7 . . . . substitute the given points

P = (-6+20, 2+25)/7 . . . . . . simplify

P = (2, 3 6/7)
