The perimeter of a rectangle is about 13.9 cm. If you double the width of the rectangle the perimeter is about 17.8 cm. Find the dimensions of the smaller rectangle.

5cm by 1.95cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the rectangle be x

Let the width be y

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2x + 2y

If the initial perimeter of a rectangle is about 13.9 cm, then;

13.9 = 2x + 2y 1

If when the width is double the perimeter is 17.8cm, then;

17.8 = 2x + 4y 2

Subtract 1 from 2;

13.9 - 17.8 = 2y - 4y

- 3.9 = -2y

y = 3.9/2

y = 1.95 cm

Substitute y = 1.95 into 1 to get x;

From 1;

13.9 = 2x + 2y

13.9 = 2x + 2(1.95)

13.9 = 2x + 3.9

2x = 13.9-3.9

2x = 10

x = 5 cm

Hence the dimension of the smaller triangle is 5cm by 1.95cm

ummm seems that u didnt post the attachement !

the revenue of the fitness center, y, is the product of two factors: the number of members and the fee paid by each member. there are 320 members now, but number of members goes down by 10 for each $5 increase in fees, so if x is the number of $5 price increases then members is equal to (320 - 10x). since the fee is currently $45, and the fee increases by $5 for every price bump x, the fee is given by (45 + 5x). so, revenue y is given by y = (320 - 10x)(45 + 5x).
