Problem 50
Solve. Geometry. A rectangle has an area of 20 in \(^{2}\) and a perimeter of 18 in. Find its dimensions.
Problem 54
Solve. Investments. A certain amount of money saved for 1 year at a certain interest rate yielded 125 dollars in simple interest. If $625 more had been invested and the rate had been 1% less, the interest would have been the same. Find the principal and the rate.
Problem 57
The standard form for equations of horizontal or vertical hyperbolas centered at \((h, k)\) are as follows: $$ \frac{(x-h)^{2}}{a^{2}}-\frac{(y-k)^{2}}{b^{2}}=1 $$ (Graph can't copy) $$ \frac{(y-k)^{2}}{b^{2}}-\frac{(x-h)^{2}}{a^{2}}=1 $$ The vertices are as labeled and the asymptotes are $$ y-k=\frac{b}{a}(x-h) \text { and } y-k=-\frac{b}{a}(x-h) $$ For each of the following equations of hyperbolas, complete the square, if necessary, and write in standard form. Find the center, the vertices, and the asymptotes. Then graph the hyperbola. $$ \frac{(x-5)^{2}}{36}-\frac{(y-2)^{2}}{25}=1 $$
Problem 61
The standard form for equations of horizontal or vertical hyperbolas centered at \((h, k)\) are as follows: $$ \frac{(x-h)^{2}}{a^{2}}-\frac{(y-k)^{2}}{b^{2}}=1 $$ (Graph can't copy) $$ \frac{(y-k)^{2}}{b^{2}}-\frac{(x-h)^{2}}{a^{2}}=1 $$ The vertices are as labeled and the asymptotes are $$ y-k=\frac{b}{a}(x-h) \text { and } y-k=-\frac{b}{a}(x-h) $$ For each of the following equations of hyperbolas, complete the square, if necessary, and write in standard form. Find the center, the vertices, and the asymptotes. Then graph the hyperbola. $$ 4 x^{2}-y^{2}+24 x+4 y+28=0 $$

Problem 79
The equation \(x^{2}+y^{2}=\frac{81}{4},\) where \(x\) and \(y\) represent the number of meters from the center, can be used to draw the outer circle on a wrestling mat used in International, Olympic, and World Championship wrestling. The equation \(x^{2}+y^{2}=16\) can be used to draw the inner edge of the red zone. Find the area of the red zone. (IMAGE CANNOT COPY)
