(a) The perimeter of a rectangular parking lot is 288 m. If the width of the parking lot is 65 m, what is its length? Length of the parking lot:

79 m

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that

Perimeter of rectangle = 2(l + b)

=> 288 = 2(l + 65)

=> 288/2 = l + 65

=> 144 = l + 65

=> 144 - 65 = l

=> 79 = l

Hence,

Length of rectangle is 79 m

Length of parking lot = 79m

Explanation:

2 × length + 2 × breadth = perimeter of rectangle

2 × length + 2 × 65 = 288

2 × length + 130 = 288

2 × length = 288 - 130

= 158

length = 158 ÷ 2

= 79

- "runner b is moving at a slower rate."

- "the graphs shown are graphs of distance(km) against time(min).

the slopes of this graphs are are given by:

slope = (change in y)/(change in x)

= (change in distance)/(change in time)

this is the formula for finding the speed. so, the slope of these graphs represent the speed of the runner.

taking each division in the graph to represent 1 on both axis:

runner a ⇒ speed = (2-0)/(1-0)

= 2/1

= 2 km/min

runner b ⇒ speed = (3-0)/(3-0)

= 3/3

= 1 km/min

this shows that   runner b is moving at a slower rate."
