Abuilding in a city has a rectangular base. the length of the base measures 65 ft less than three times the width. the perimeter of this base is 950 ft. what are the dimensions of the base?

Step-by-step explanation:

P = 2(L + W)

P = 950 feet

L = 3W - 65

W = W

950 = 2 * (L + W)              Divide by 2

950/2 = 2*(L + W)/2

475 = L + W

475 = 3W - 65 + W          Add 65 both sides. Combine W on the right.

475 + 65 = 4W + 65 - 65

540 = 4W                           Divide by 4

540/4 = 4W/4

135 = W

W = 135

L = 3*135 - 65 = 340

ummm seems that u didnt post the attachement !

step-by-step explanation:

no, her answer is not correct.   we square the lengths of all sides and then determine whether the pythagorean theorem holds here:

9² + 15² = 306.   this is not equal to the square of the longest side ( that square being 395.   answer c is correct.
