The dimensions of a rectangular building used to store tools for electrical lineman has a length of 12x + 24 feet and a width of 20x - 10 feet. Write the expression that represents the area of the building, in terms of x.
Write the expression that represents the perimeter of the building, in terms of x.
If the perimeter is going to be 220 feet, what are the dimensions of the building

answer:  

123455421

step-by-step explanation: easy

b i think

step-by-step explanation:

not really sure

(b) 240

step-by-step explanation:

first, we use the pythagorean formula using the given side lengths to find x. then we use x to find the side lengths. then we add the side lengths to find the perimeter.

pythagorean theorem formula:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

(x - 20)^2 + (x - 40)^2 = x^2

x^2 - 40x + 400 + x^2 - 80x + 1600 = x^2

x^2 -120x + 2000 = 0

(x - 100)(x - 20) = 0

x - 100 = 0 or x - 20 = 0

x = 100 or x = 20

we see that the solution x = 20 must be discarded because it will give a negative side length and a side length of 0. the only valid solution is x = 100.

perimeter = sum of the lengths of the sides

perimeter = x + x - 20 + x - 40

perimeter = 3x - 60

replace x with 100.

perimeter = 3(100) - 60

perimeter = 300 - 60

perimeter = 240

144.50
