Hello!

We don't need to find the exact perimeter of the fencing, just an estimate.

We will round 12 ft 3 in to 12 ft, because it is closer to 12 ft than 13 ft.

We will also round 8 ft 11 in to 9 ft because there are 12 inches in a foot, which makes 9 ft closer.

The formula for perimeter of a rectangle is:

P = 2l × 2w

The length is about 12 feet and the width is about 9 feet.

Substitute the length and width:

P = 2(12) + 2(9)

Solve:

P = 24 + 18

P = 42

Jose will need about 42 feet of fencing.

Answer:

y = −55x + 275

The initial value is 5

Mike's distance from home when he begins cycling

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line is

y= mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

The y intercept is 275

Two points are (0,275) and (5,0)

The slope is (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) = (0-275)/(5-0) = -275/5 =-55

y = -55x+275

The initial value is when x = 0

When x = 0 , y = 5

y = 12-2x

Rewriting

y = -2x+12

This is in the form y = mx +b where the slope is -2 and the y intercept is 12

12 is the initial value or when x = 0.  It would be the distance that he needs to cover.  He needs to go from the library to his house.

Line L1, L2 and L3 are in the same plane, L1 is perpendicular to L2, and L3 is parallel to L1. which of the following statement
exis [7]
Only Statement 2 is surely correct.
because there maybe chances that the line L1 and L3 lies above the line L2 and they can also fulfill the condition of perpendicularity so we can't be sure about statement 3 & statement 1 is clearly incorrect
