Arectangle has an area of 96cm2. the width is four less than the length. what is the perimeter?

Step-by-step explanation:

Let L represent the length of the rectangle.

Let W represent the width of the rectangle.

The formula for determining the area of a rectangle is expressed

LW^2

The rectangle has an area of 96cm2. This means that

LW = 96 - - - - - - - - - - 1

The width is four less than the length. This means that

L = W + 4

Substituting L = W + 4 into equation 1, it becomes

W(W + 4)= 96

W^2 + 4W = 96

W^2 + 4W - 96 = 0

W^2 + 12W - 8W - 96 = 0

W(W + 12) - 8(W + 12) = 0

(W + 12)(W - 8) = 0

W = 8 or W = -12

Since the width cannot be negative, the W = 8cm

L = W + 4 = 8 + 4 = 12 cm

The formula for determining the perimeter of a rectangle is

Perimeter = 2(L + W)

Perimeter = 2(8 + 12) =2×20

Perimeter of rectangle = 40 cm

.

this was already solved by me with a different person. if you look it up in the search bar at the top of the page, you will get the answer.

step-by-step explanation:

to plot points   for x just start at the origin (middle) and go to the left however many times it say(if the number is a positive) if the number is a negative then go right however many times it says if it is 0 go nowhere

now keep you pencil there and go up however many times it says on y(if it is positive) if it is negative then go down however many times it says. if it says 0 go nowhere.

you have just plotted a point! now when you finish plotting all of them connect them with a ruler

plot each point as (-3, 7), (0,4), (3,1), (8,-4)   in the parenthesis on the left of the comma is x and the right is y.
