Perimeter (P) = 2L + 2w


68 = 2L + 2w


68 - 2L = 2w


2(34 - L) = 2(w)


34 - L = w


********************                                


Area (A) = L * w


     240 = L (34 - L)


     240 = 34L - L²


L² - 34L + 240 = 0


(L - 10)(L - 24) = 0


L = 10  or  L = 24


w = 34 - L   = 34 - 10   = 24      or      w = 34 - 24   = 10


Answer: width = 10, length = 24   assuming length is bigger than the width

Perimeter (P) = 2L + 2w

68 = 2L + 2w

68 - 2L = 2w

2(34 - L) = 2(w)

34 - L = w

********************                                

Area (A) = L * w

     240 = L (34 - L)

     240 = 34L - L²

L² - 34L + 240 = 0

(L - 10)(L - 24) = 0

L = 10  or  L = 24

w = 34 - L   = 34 - 10   = 24      or      w = 34 - 24   = 10

Answer: width = 10, length = 24  <em>assuming length is bigger than the width</em>

5. If a = b, and b = c then a = c is the transitive property.

6. The converse is switching the order of the statement.

The answer would be If A <15, then a <10: true

7. You have RS + ST = RT

Using subtraction property  solve for RS by subtracting ST from both sides to get: RS = RT-ST

8. The addition property would be adding the same thing to both sides:

So. If p=q, then p+s = q+s

9. Vertical angles are the same:

6x-22 = 4x+2

Subtract 4x from both sides:

2x-22 = 2

Add 22 to both sides:

2x = 24

Divide both sides by 2:

x = 12

In fifteen minutes, greg's sailboat went 3/6 mile, gina's sailboat went 6/6 mile, and Stuart's sailboat went 4/6 mile. Whose sai
Radda [10]
To make this situation easier to understand, you must simplify these fractions.  3/6 is equal to 0.5
6/6 is equal to 1
4/6 is equal to 0.3333 repeating.

With this info we can tell that Gina's sailboat went to longest distant in the fifteen minutes.

Hope this helps! :)
