Answer:

$\boxed{\sf{b=2}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate the b from one side of the equation.

First, subtract by 5 from both sides.

$\sf{5+2b-5=9-5}$

Solve.

Subtract.

9-5=4

2b=4

Divide by 2 from both sides.

2b/2=4/2

Solve.

Divide the numbers from left to right.

4/2=2

$\Longrightarrow \boxed{\sf{b=2}}$

Therefore, the correct answer is b=2.

I hope this helps, let me know if you have any questions.

If a=under root s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c) then the value of a, when a =3 b =4c = 5 and s =a+b+c by 2

kramer

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Here it's given that ,

$\sf\red{\longrightarrow} A=\sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)}$

Also ,

$\sf\red{\longrightarrow} s =\dfrac{a+b+c}{2}$

And we need to find out the value of A , when

a = 3
b = 4
c = 5

So , on substituting the respective values to find s we have ,

$\sf\red{\longrightarrow} s =\dfrac{3+4+5}{2}=\dfrac{12}{2}=\bf{6}$

Now let's find out A as ,

$\sf\red{\longrightarrow} A = \sqrt{6(6-3)(6-4)(6-5)} \\$

$\sf\red{\longrightarrow}A =\sqrt{6 * 3 * 2 * 1}\\$

$\sf\red{\longrightarrow} A = \sqrt{3^2 * 2^2 *1^2}\\$

$\sf\red{\longrightarrow}A = 3*2\\$

$\sf\red{\longrightarrow}\boxed{\qquad \blue{\bf A = 6 \qquad}}$

Read the caption thank you :)) if you know it let me know!

Answer:

∠ A = 50°

Step-by-step explanation:

In a parallelogram, consecutive angles are supplementary, sum to 180°

∠ A + 130° = 180° ( subtract 130° from both sides )

∠ A = 50°

The area of a rectangle is 229.2 m2. If the length is 15 m, what is the perimeter of the rectangle

igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

$\large\boxed{P=60.56\ m}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of an area of a rectangle:

$A=lw$

l - length

w - width

We have

$A=229.2\ m^2\\\l=15\ m$

Substitute:

$15w=229.2$ divide both sides by 15

$w=15.28\ m$

The formula of a perimeter of a rectangle:

$P=2(l+w)$

Substitute:

$P=2(15+15.28)=2(30.28)=60.56\ m$
