Answer:

<h2>length = 14 cm</h2><h2>width = 3 cm</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2l + 2w

where

l is the length

w is the width

From the question

Perimeter = 34 cm

The statement

The length of a rectangle is 8 cm longer than twice the width is written as

l = 8 + 2w

Substitute this expression into the above formula and solve for the width

That's

34 = 2( 8 + 2w) + 2w

34 = 16 + 4w + 2w

6w = 18

Divide both sides by 6

w = 3

Substitute this value into l = 8 + 2w

That's

l = 8 + 2(3)

= 8 + 6

l = 14

The dimensions are

length = 14 cm

width = 3 cm

Hope this helps you

Answer:

$= area \: of \: square - area \: of \: circle \\ = (s \times s) - (\pi {r}^{2} ) \\ = (24 \times 24) - (3.14 \times ( { \frac{24}{2} })^{2}) \\ \\ = 576 - 452.16 \\ = 123.84 \: square \: inches$

Write the equation of a line that passes through the points (-2, 3) and (-4, 4) in slope intercept form (y=mx+b).

Yuri [45]

Step-by-step explanation:

first step is to find the gradient of the line which "m" on the equation

gradient formula is y2 - y1 ÷ x2 - x1 = -½ as shown on the picture we substituted those points given

2nd step is to substitute on the equation y=mx+c

m= -½

y= 3 (you can choose any from those given points but in my case I chose point A)

x= -2

c= ? only unknown variable so we can can calculate it

substitute as shown on the picture to get c= 2

therefore our equation of the line will be y= -½x+2

( 4 ten thousands 8 hundreds) ÷ 10 in unit form and standard form

siniylev [52]

To solve for the given, 40, 800 ÷ 10 in unit form and standard form in unit form and standard form 
We can first standardize the given into a equation form which will be: 
1. 40,800 / 10 which yield 4,080 
40,800 x 10 = 4080 
Notice the amount of zero the value of 40,800 decreased. 
2. The standard form then is 4080 
3. The word form of the quotient is four thousand eighty..

Hello i need help with these questions asap!!

We use direct proportionality:

360⁰......Pi×R² (full circle)

120⁰.......x

x=120×pi×R²/360=pi×R²/3

x=pi×4²/3=16.76mi²

A=3×pi cm², for an angle of 2×pi/3=120⁰

In a similar way we compute the area of the full circle:

360.........x

120..........3×pi

x=3×pi×360/120=9×pi=3²×pi.

Thus the radius is 3cm.
