Write and solve the system of linear equations described by the application and then answer the question. One hundred sixty feet

of fencing encloses a rectangular garden on three sides. One side of the garden is the side of a barn and requires no fencing. The longer side is parallel to the barn.
If the length of the longer side of the rectangle is twice the width, what are the dimensions of the garden?

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.

If the length of an arc is 12 inches and the radius of the circle is 10 inches, what is the measure of the arc?
a_sh-v [17]
I guess what you are asking is what is the measure of the central angle?

arc length = radius * central angle (in radians)

central angle (in radians) = arc length / radius

central angle (in radians) = 12 / 10

central angle (in radians) = 1.2 radians = <span> <span> <span> 68.7549</span></span></span> degrees

1. Quadrilateral EFGH is an isosceles trapezoid. If mG is four times mH, what is mE? A)18° C)72° D)144° B)36°​
Maslowich

Answer:

<E = 36 degrees (Answer B)

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that the addition of all internal angles in a quadrilateral must equal 360 degrees. Then we can write the equation that states this as:

<E + <F + <G + <H = 360

Notice as well that we are dealing with an isosceles trapezoid, so there is a symmetry along the line that passes through the midpoints of sides FG and EH (the two bases). That means that the measures of angles <F = <G  and <E = <H .

The previous equation then can be written as:

<H + <G + <G + <H = 360

Also, since we are told that <G = 4 <H, we can use this info in the equation as shown below:

<H + 4 <H + 4 <H + <H = 360

10 <H = 360

divide both sides by 10 to isolate <H

<H = 360 / 10

<H = 36

Since as we mentioned, <E equals <H, we can state that

the measure of <E = 36 degrees (Answer B)

Given m<br> n, find the value of x and y.<br> (37-18)<br> (8x+12)<br> m<br> (2X+18)<br> n
adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The two inside angles will sum to 180°.

The top to angles are equal.  

Think about this as what if both of the parallel lines were intersected by a perpendicuar line.  Every angle would be a right triangle 90°.  The inside angles will sum to 180° and the opposite angles are again equal.

 (2x + 18) + (8x + 12) = 180

          10x +   30   =   180

                   10x    =   150

                      x  =  15

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

             (3y - 18)  =  (8x + 12)       x = 15

            (3y - 18)  =  (8(15) + 12)

            (3y - 18)  =  (120 + 12)

            (3y - 18)  =  132

                   3y   =   132 + 18

                   3y   =  150

                     y   =  50

The cost of joining a DVD club and buying DVDs is a linear function of the number of DVDs bought. The cost of 3, 5, and 7 DVDs i
suter [353]

Answer:

A. y = 3x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope = change in y / change in x

From 3 to 5 (x) = +2

From 12 to 18 (y) = +6

slope, m = 6/2 = 3

Using point slope form

y - y1 = m (x - x1)

y - 12 = 3 (x - 3)

y - 12 = 3x - 9

y = 3x -9 + 12

y = 3x + 3
