Answer:

width = 18 inches

length = 56 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = width

Let y = length

<u>Equation 1</u>

If length of the rectangle is 2 more than triple the width, then:

⇒ y = 3x + 2

<u>Equation 2</u>

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(width + length)

If the perimeter is 148 inches, then:

⇒ 148 = 2(x + y)

<u>Solve by substitution</u>

Substitute Equation 1 into Equation 2 and <u>solve for x</u>:

⇒ 148 = 2(x + 3x + 2)

⇒ 148 = 2(4x + 2)

⇒ 148 = 2 · 4x + 2 · 2

⇒ 148 = 8x + 4

⇒ 148 - 4 = 8x + 4 - 4

⇒ 8x = 144

⇒ 8x ÷ 8 = 144 ÷ 8

⇒ x = 18

Substitute found value of x into Equation 1 and <u>solve for y</u>:

⇒ y = 3(18) + 2

⇒ y = 54 + 2

⇒ y = 56

<u>Conclusion</u>

The dimensions of the rectangle are:

  • width = 18 inches
  • length = 56 inches

A sample of students is taken from the school's A honor roll. The school estimates that there are actually 360 students on the A
aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

360 - Y

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information provided in the question, we will understand that the question lacks detailed information.

Given that:

The total number of actual students on the A honor roll = 360

To find the number of students on the A honor roll of 8th graders;

Let denote Y to represent the total number of students who exist on the A honor roll except for the 8th graders.

Then:

The number of 8th graders = all number of students on are on the A honor roll - Y

The number of 8th graders = 360 - Y

If Y is known, then the number of the 8th graders can be fully determined.

seropon [69]

Answer:

2/3rds of liad's run

Step-by-step explanation:

3 min 45s = 3 3/4 min = 15/4 min; 10/(15/4) = 8/3 laps

2min 30s = 2 1/2 min = 5/2 min; 10/(5/2) = 4 laps

(8/3)/4 = 2/3

Answer: Bottom-Right corner
The points are (-5,6) (-5,-6) (4,-6)

-----------------------------------------

Explanation:

What you do is go through each of the answer choices, plot the points, and see which give you a right triangle. A right triangle has one 90 degree angle. 

The upper-left choice leads to an obtuse triangle, so we can cross that off the list. It turns out that the other choices lead to right triangles.

The upper-right choice has a hypotenuse of roughly 11.18, so that's also eliminated

The bottom-left choice has a hypotenuse of 10.82, which means we cross that off the list

The bottom-right choice has a hypotenuse of 15, so we found the answer

Note: you use the distance formula to find the length of the hypotenuse. The distance formula is
d = sqrt((x1-x2)^2+(y1-y2)^2)
