Width of a rectangle is five lesson three times the length of the rectangle if the perimeter of the rectangle is 70 inches what are the dimensions of the rectangle ?

Length = 10 inches

width = 25 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the rectangle be X inches

width = (3x - 5) inches

 Perimeter of rectangle =  70 inches

     2 * ( l + b)   = 70

2 * ( x + 3x - 5) = 70

             4x - 5 = 70 / 2

             4x - 5 = 35

                    4x = 35 + 5

                    4x = 40

                       x = 40/4

                        x = 10

Length = 10 inches

width = 3x - 5 = 3*10 - 5 = 30- 5 =  25 inches

answer: city needs 2.4 inches of rainfall more to match the record of 40 inches.

step-by-step explanation:

since we have given that

total annual rainfall a city record = 40 inches

this year, total rainfall recorded = 37.6 inches

number of inches of rainfall   is needed to match the record of 40 inches is given by

hence, city needs 2.4 inches of rainfall more to match the record of 40 inches.

correct answer:

b.(19,-2)
