The perimeter of a rectangle is 10 feet, and the area is 6 square feet. What is the width of the rectangle?

Hello,

Perimeter of a rectangle : 2 * (length + width)

Area of a rectangle : length * width

We know that the perimeter of the rectangle is equal to 10 feet and its area is equal to 6 square feet.

Let's call x the length of the rectangle and y the width of the rectangle. The pair (x ; y) verifies the following system :

2 (x + y) = 10 ⇔ x + y = 5 ⇔ x = 5 - y

x * y = 6 ⇔ (5 - y) * y = 6 ⇔ 5y - y² - 6 = 0 ⇔ y² - 5y + 6 = 0

⇔ y² - 3y - 2y + 6 = 0 ⇔ y(y - 3) - 2(y - 3) = 0 ⇔ (y - 2)(y - 3) = 0

⇔ y = 2 ou y = 3

x = 5 - y ⇔ x = 5 - 2 or x = 3 - 2 ⇔ x = 3 or y = 2

S = {(3 ; 2) ; (2 ; 3)}

The width of the rectangle is 2 or 3 feet.

spinning a 1, 2, or 3. option d.

step-by-step explanation: when spinning a number graph up to 4, and aiming for any number less than 3, that automatically eliminates the number 4. now you have two numbers to spin on that are less than 3, but the number 3 is included in this question because it's no greater of an number than itself. i hope this you : )

32.50-7.50=25
