Using Pythagoras' theorem:

x2 = 152 + 82

x2 = 225 + 64

x2 = 289

x = sqrt(289)

x = 17 feet long.

What is the work The length of a rectangle is 4 cm more than 3 times the width. The perimeter is 88 cm. What are the dimensions of the rectangle Write a system of equations based on the info?

Let its length be 3x+4 and its width be x Perimeter: 2*(3x+4+x) = 88 Solving the equation x = 10 Therefore: length = 34 cm and width = 10 cm Check: 2*(34+10) = 88 cm


The length of a rectangle is 3 inches less than twice the width If the perimeter of the rectangle is 18 inches how wide is the rectangle?

This involves solving a small system of equations. Let L represent length and W represent width. Our two equations are: I) L = 2W - 3 II) P = 2L + 2W = 18 since the perimeter of a rectangle is the sum of twice the length and twice the width. If we substitute 2W - 3 for L in equation II, then we get: 2(2W - 3) + 2W = 18, and simplifying the right hand side we get 6W - 6 = 18 if we add 6 to both sides we get 6W = 24, and dividing both sides by 6 we get W = 4. Now, if we plug this back into equation I, we have L = 2(4) -3 = 8 - 3 = 5. So the answer is: the length is 5 and the width is 4.


The length of a rectangle is 9 centimeters more than half the width Find the length if the perimeter is 60 centimeters?

L = .5W +9L + W = 60 (substitute to solve a system)W + .5W +9 = 60-9 -91.5W = 51W = 34L = .5W + 9L = .5 (34) + 9Length = 26 cm
