Assuming that the sides of the box are square (having 90° angles on all four corners), then it should be relatively easy for us to find the length of the box, given the perimeter and the length of one side.
We know the length of all sides combined is 42 inches, and that the length of one side is 9 inches. With a rectangular prism, the length of one side is the same as the length of the opposite side, so there are two sides that measure 9 inches.
All we need to do to find the measure of both the other sides' lengths is subtract the known lengths from the total length.

9 + 9 = 18

42 - 18 = 24

So the rest of the side lengths added together is 24 inches.
There are two sides left, so all we have to do is divide by 2 to find the length of the box.

24 / 2 = 12

The length of Kate's jewelry box is 12 inches.
Hope that helped =)

Help pls 2,4 +0,8=........+1,21=........+1,78=........-5,14=
Mrrafil [7]
Lets write this out:-

2.4 + 0.8 = ________ + 1.21 = ______ + 1.78 = ______ - 5.14 = _____

So to solve d blanks we will do d following:-

2.4 + 0.8 = 3.2

Now lets write this out AGAIN.

2.4 + 0.8 = 3.2 + 1.21 = ______ + 1.78 = ______ - 5.14 = ____

Now lets solve again:-

3.2 + 1.21 = 4.41 

Now lets write this out AGAIN.

2.4 + 0.8 = 3.2 + 1.21 = 4.41 + 1.78 = ______ - 5.14 = ____

Now lets solve again:-

4.41 + 1.78 = 6.19

Now lets write this out AGAIN.

2.4 + 0.8 = 3.2 + 1.21 = 4.41 + 1.78 = 6.19 - 5.14 = ____

Now lets solve again:-

6.19 - 5.14 = 1.05

Now lets write this out AGAIN.

2.4 + 0.8 = 3.2 + 1.21 = 4.41 + 1.78 = 6.19 - 5.14 = 1.05

So, 2.4 + 0.8 = 3.2 + 1.21 = 4.41 + 1.78 = 6.19 - 5.14 = 1.05

Hope I helped ya!! xD

5.818, 5 9/25, 53/10, 5.81 from least to greatest. THanKs :)
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

53/10, 5 9/25 ; 5.81 ; 5.818

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the solution we need to make some calculations:  

53/10 = 5.3

5 9/25 = 5.36

So we have that the solution is:

53/10, 5 9/25 ; 5.81 ; 5.818

Graph each equation.<br><br> y=-2x-1 <br><br> help please
yan [13]
You can graph that by looking at the y-intercept first. That's where you start to put a point in the coordinate plane or graph.

So go down 1 below 0.

Next, look at the slope.
We know that y = -2x - 1 is in slope intercept form (y = mx+b)
So -2 is our slope. It will be -2/1 because we need a fraction to graph the rise over run and all whole numbers can be a fraction by making 1 as their denominator.

Look at the attachment. 

Starting from -1 (y-intercept), go down 2 (-2) then right 1 (1).
To complete the line above, keep the same value and reverse their sign/symbol. So -2/1 will be 2/-1. It goes up 2 then left 1.

I hope you understand and find this answer the most helpful! :)
