The formula for finding the perimeter of a rectangle is P = 2L + 2W. If a rectangle has a perimeter of 68 inches and the length is 14 inches longer than its width, find the width.

Enter a number answer only.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Width = 10 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the perimeter of a rectangle of 68 inches, and a length that is 14 inches longer than its width.

We can establish the following values to help us solve for the width of a rectangle:

Perimeter (P) = 68 inches

Length (L) = 14 + W inches

Width (W) = unknown

Solve for the Width (W)

P =  2(L + W)  ⇒ This is the same as P = 2L + 2W, except that 2 is factored out from the right-hand side.

Divide both sides by 2:

[tex]\displaystyle\mathsf{\frac{P}{2}\:=\:\frac{2(L\:+\:W)}{2}}[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle\mathsf{\frac{P}{2}\:=L\:+\:W}[/tex]

Substitute the value of the Perimeter and the length (L) into the formula:

[tex]\displaystyle\mathsf{\frac{68}{2}\:=14\:+W\:+\:W}[/tex]

Combine like terms on the right-hand side, and simplify the left-hand side of the equation:

[tex]\displaystyle\mathsf{34\:=14\:+2W}[/tex]

Subtract 14 from both sides:

34 - 14 = 14 - 14 + 2W

20 = 2W

Divide both sides by 2 to solve for the width (W):

[tex]\displaystyle\mathsf{\frac{20}{2}\:=\:\frac{2W}{2}}[/tex]

W = 10 inches

Therefore, the width of the rectangle is 10 inches.

Double-check:

Verify whether the derived value for the width is correct:

P = 2L + 2W

68 = 2(14 + 10) + 2(10)

68 = 2(34) + 20

68 = 48 + 20

68 = 68 (True statement).  

Thus, the length of the rectangle is 34 inches, and the width is 10 inches.

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

8x + 4y <= 136

2x + y <= 34

trying (15, 9) :

2x + 7y <= 70

2×15 + 7×9 <= 70

30 + 63 <= 70

93 <= 70

that does not work. so, (15, 9) is not a valid point of f(x, y) and therefore also no maximum.

trying (0, 10) :

2×0 + 7×10 <= 70

70 <= 70

that is true.

2×0 + 10 <= 34

10 <= 34

also true.

so, (0, 10) is the correct answer option.

Triangle A'B'C' is a reflection of triangle ABC across line BC. Prove that ray BC is the angle bisector of angle ABA'.​

Answers

Answer is below in the picture:-

(From the problem, we know (triangle)ABC (round of equal of) (triangle)A'B'C'. So, <A'B'C' = <ABC {the properties of congruent triangles}. So, ray BC is the angle, bisector of angle ABA')

I hope it helps.

It is proved that the ray BC is the angle bisector of angle ABA'.

What are angle bisectors?

Angle bisectors are lines who bisect the considered angle. Bisect refers to splitting in two equal parts. Therefore, the bisected parts of the considered angle are half of the original angle.

When a graph is reflected along an axis, say x axis, then that leads the graph to go just in opposite side of the axis as if it in a mirror.

We will find that its symmetric, thus each point is equidistant from the axis of reflection as that of the image of that point.

From the given problem, we know Triangle A'B'C' is a reflection of triangle ABC across line BC.

Therefore, <A'B'C' = <ABC

By the properties of congruent triangles. Means if the length of the sides is equal, a measure of the angles are equal and they can be superimposed.

Hence, the ray BC is the angle, bisector of angle ABA'.

Answer: Choice A)  11.4

========================================================

Explanation:

Refer to the table below.

The first step is to find the midpoint of each interval.

To do that, we add up the endpoints and divide by 2. The midpoint of the interval from 2 to 6 is 4 because (2+6)/2 = 8/2 = 4. Repeat these steps for the other intervals to find that the remaining midpoints are: 8, 12, 16, 20.

Overall, the midpoints from top to bottom are 4, 8, 12, 16, 20

Note how the midpoints are incrementing by 4 each time, which is the same distance between each successive left endpoint (and right endpoint endpoints as well).

Let's say m represents the set of midpoints which I'll form in the third column. Multiply the frequency column f by each corresponding midpoint m. The result fm forms the fourth column.

Add up everything in that fourth column to get 1140. We then divide that by the sum of the frequencies (100) to get 1140/100 = 11.4 which is the final answer. The average weight is 11.4 pounds.
