The area of rectangle R is 48. If its sides are whole numbers, then its perimeter cannot be__?

Mathematics

An odd number. That's because the formula for the perimeter is

P = 2* (L + W)

Multiplying by 2 is never going to produce an odd number.  The question is much trickier than it looks. What happens when you have a square with sides of 7.

The area = s^2

Area = 7 * 7

Area = 49 and that's odd. But can you get an odd perimeter? The answer is no. The perimeter of a square is 4s

P = 4s. If s = 7

P = 4*7

P = 28 which is even. If there is another answer, I'm unaware of it.

A: P = 2*(6 + 8) = 2*14 = 28 A is a correct Perimeter.

B: P = 2*(3 + 16) = 2*19 = 38 B is a correct Perimeter.

C:P = 2*? Can't find anything. C is the answer.

D:P = 2*(1 + 48) = 2*49 = 98. D is correct.

Answer: C

Find the slope of the line that passes through (3, 7) and (6, 8).
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

Slope = 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Step 1: Define general form of equation of line</em>

An equation of a straight line on two-dimensional plane could be represented in form of: y = Mx + b, with M is slope and b is y-intercept

<em>Step 2: Set up the system to solve for slope M of equation of line</em>

That equation passes 2 points, which are represented in form of (x, y), (3, 7) and (6, 8).

Substitute these values of x and y into the original equation in step 1:

7 = 3M + b

8 = 6M + b

<em>Step 3: Solve the system of equations in step 2 for M</em>

Subtract 1st equation from 2nd equation:

8 - 7 = 6M - 3M + b - b

Simplify both sides:

1 = 3M

Divide both sides by 3:

=> M = 1/3

Hope this helps!

How do I get the answer to this math problem n + 7 &lt; -3 what is the formula for the math problem
laiz [17]
If I understand the question, you have to get n alone. in this case, you have to subtract 7 from both sides, resulting in n (is less than) -10
