The total distance around Dave's rectangular-shaped bedroom is 220 feet. The width of the room is 50 feet. What is the area of D
1 answer:
Answer:
Area of rectangular bedroom = 3000 square feet
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that the total distance around the rectangular bedroom is 220 feet
perimeter of rectangle = total distance around the rectangle
hence the perimeter of rectangle = 220 feet
now width of rectangle = 50 feet
Let us assume the length of rectangular room be L
we have formula
now we plug perimeter = 220 and width = 50
so we have
(divide both side by 2)
(subtract 50 from both side )
Area of rectangular bedroom is given by
Area = length × width
Area = 60 × 50
Area = 3000 square feet

To write the system we need the slope of each line and at least one point on the line. The two lines to consider will be the lines connecting the location of each plane to the airport they are flying to. It is also worth noting that the coordinates of the airport represent the point of intersection of the two lines and thus the solution to the system.
1. slope of the line connecting airplane one and the airport: m = 2 you can see this clearly if you graph the two points. From airplane 1 location we rise 8 units and move to the right 4 units to get to the airport. Slope is defined as rise over run: so 8 divided by 4 = 2(the slope) Now substitute the slope and the point (2,4) into point-slope form of a line:
y - 4 = 2(x -4) the standard form of this equation is 2x - y = 0
2. slope of the line connecting airplane 2 and the airport: m = -
To find this slope, simply observe the vertical change of down 3 and a horizontal shift of right 9 from the airport to airplane 2. Now substitute this slope and and the point (15,9) into point-slope form of a line:
y - 9 =
(x - 15) the standard form of this equation is:
x + 3y = 42
Let's write the system:
2x - y = 0
x + 3y = 42
Multiply the first equation by 3 to get the new system
6x - 3y = 0
x + 3y = 42 add these two equations to get an equation in terms of x
7x = 42 thus x = 6 and substituting this value into 2x - y = 0 we see y = 12
In other words, we have proven that the location of the airport is in fact the solution to our system.
PS: You just have to do a little algebra to get from point-slope form of the two equations to standard form. I did not show this process, but if you need it just let me know... thanks
