Answer:

80 ft x 40 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'L' be the length of the longer side and 'W' be the length of the shorter side (or the width).

The equations that compose the linear system are:

L+2W=160\\L=2W

Solving the system:

L+L=160\\L=80\\W=\frac{L}{2}\\W=40

The garden is a rectangle with dimensions 80 ft x 40 ft.

Match each whole number with a rational, exponential expression. 1. 512 2. 8 3. 343 4. 216 5. 729 6.
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

1. 2^9 = 512

2. 2^3 = 8

3. 7^3 = 343

4. 6^3 = 216

5. 3^6 = 729

Step-by-step explanation:

To start we have to express the number as a multiplication of prime numbers, from there we can take the expression as a power

1.

2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 512

2^9 = 512

2.

2 x 2 x 2 = 8

2^3 = 8

3.

7 x 7 x 7 = 343

7^3 = 343

4.

6 x 6 x 6 = 216

6^3 = 216

5.

3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 = 729

3^6 = 729
