If a rectangle is twice as long as it is wide and has a perimeter of 6 meters, what is the area of the rectangle?
| 50 m2 | |
| 2 m2 | |
| 8 m2 | |
| 128 m2 |
The area of a rectangle is width (w) x height (h). In this problem we know that the rectangle is twice as long as it is wide so h = 2w. The perimeter of a rectangle is 2w + 2h and we know that the perimeter of this rectangle is 6 meters so the equation becomes: 2w + 2h = 6.
Putting these two equations together and solving for width (w):
2w + 2h = 6
w + h = \( \frac{6}{2} \)
w + h = 3
w = 3 - h
From the question we know that h = 2w so substituting 2w for h gives us:
w = 3 - 2w
3w = 3
w = \( \frac{3}{3} \)
w = 1
Since h = 2w that makes h = (2 x 1) = 2 and the area = h x w = 1 x 2 = 2 m2

A factor is a positive integer that divides evenly into a given number. For example, the factors of 8 are 1, 2, 4, and 8.
What is \( \frac{-3z^5}{4z^2} \)?
| -\(\frac{3}{4}\)z-3 | |
| -\(\frac{3}{4}\)z\(\frac{2}{5}\) | |
| -1\(\frac{1}{3}\)z3 | |
| -\(\frac{3}{4}\)z3 |
To divide terms with exponents, the base of both exponents must be the same. In this case they are so divide the coefficients and subtract the exponents:
\( \frac{-3z^5}{4z^2} \)
\( \frac{-3}{4} \) z(5 - 2)
-\(\frac{3}{4}\)z3
What is \( 8 \)\( \sqrt{75} \) + \( 7 \)\( \sqrt{3} \)
| 56\( \sqrt{75} \) | |
| 15\( \sqrt{225} \) | |
| 47\( \sqrt{3} \) | |
| 56\( \sqrt{25} \) |
To add these radicals together their radicands must be the same:
8\( \sqrt{75} \) + 7\( \sqrt{3} \)
8\( \sqrt{25 \times 3} \) + 7\( \sqrt{3} \)
8\( \sqrt{5^2 \times 3} \) + 7\( \sqrt{3} \)
(8)(5)\( \sqrt{3} \) + 7\( \sqrt{3} \)
40\( \sqrt{3} \) + 7\( \sqrt{3} \)
Now that the radicands are identical, you can add them together:
40\( \sqrt{3} \) + 7\( \sqrt{3} \)What is \( \frac{27\sqrt{9}}{9\sqrt{3}} \)?
| 3 \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{3}} \) | |
| \(\frac{1}{3}\) \( \sqrt{3} \) | |
| \(\frac{1}{3}\) \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{3}} \) | |
| 3 \( \sqrt{3} \) |
To divide terms with radicals, divide the coefficients and radicands separately:
\( \frac{27\sqrt{9}}{9\sqrt{3}} \)
\( \frac{27}{9} \) \( \sqrt{\frac{9}{3}} \)
3 \( \sqrt{3} \)
