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>

3. A soccer team played 160 games and won 65 percent of them. How many games did the team win?
Airida [17]

Answer:

b.) 104

Step-by-step explanation:

Percent formula:

x/y = p/100

where x is the fraction, y is the total, and p is the percent

This means:

x = number of games the team won

y = total number of games

p = percent the number of teams won

Let's plug these values into the equation:

x/y = p/100

x/160 = 65/100

Solve by cross-multiplying:

x/160 = 65/100

100(x) = 100x

160(65) = 10,400‬

100x = 10,400

/100     /100

x = 104

Therefore, the team won 104 games.

Translate the following word sentence into a numerical expression: When you square five times a number, you get three more than
8090 [49]
“Square five times a number” with “a number” being x is the same as saying:

5x²

“three more than the number” is the same as saying:

3 + x

Therefore the sentence “When you square five times a number, you get three more than the number.” is the same as:

5x² = 3 + x

Hope this helps, have a great day! :)

Triangle ABC is isosceles. It is reflected across the y- axis and then translated up 1 unit to form triangle ABC.
Natalka [10]

Answer: True, True, True

Step-by-step explanation:

A. True. Angles B and C are congruent, and since B' is congruent to B, by the transitive property, C is congruent to B', and thus has the same measure.

B. True. AB>BC, and the rigid motions won't change the side lengths.

C. True for the same reason in B.

Consider this right triangle with given measures.
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

\sqrt{39}

Step-by-step explanation:

I think the answer choices were supposed to be:

\sqrt{3} , \sqrt{6} , \sqrt{39} , \sqrt{89}

Pythagorean Theorem: a²+b²=c²

5²+b²=8²

25+b²=64

<em>Subtract 25 from both sides</em>

b²=39

<em>Square root both sides</em>

b=\sqrt{39}

Our answer is \sqrt{39}
