●● What is the formula for Area?.
Answer: Area = L*W
●● Bill's new porch is rectangular, with an area of 50 square feet. If the
length of the porch is two times the width, what is the perimeter of the
porch?.
Answer: The formula for the area of a rectangle:
A = Width * Length
From the question we know that L = 2W and that A = 50. So we can plug
these values into our equation and solve for W:
50 = W * L
50 = W * 2W
50 = 2W²
W² = 25
W=5
, We know that L = 2W, so L = 10
Perimeter = 2L + 2W
Perimeter = 2 * 10 + 2 * 5
Perimeter = 30
●● Diego's current age is five times Martina's age ten years ago. If
Martina is currently m years old, what is Diego's current age in terms of
m?.
Answer: Martina's age ten years ago is:
m − 10
So Diego's age is:
5(m − 10)
= 5m − 50
●● The variables x and y are directly proportional, and y = 2 when x =
3. What is the value of y when x = 9?.
Answer: Y= K*X
2= K*3
2/3 = K*3 /3
K = 2/3
Plug in K for the second formula
