Hey there!!

Formula to find the perimeter of a rectangle

= 2 ( Length + Breadth )

Length = 5 feet

Perimeter = 15 feet

Let's take breadth as ' x ' feet

Now, plug in the values

2 ( 5 + x ) = 16

Use the distributive property

10 + 2x = 16

Subtract 10 on both sides

2x = 6

Divide 2 on both sides

x = 3

Hence, breadth = 3 feet

Hope my answer helps!

P³ = 1/8 please help me if anybody can .

ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

$p= \dfrac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation:

$p^3=\dfrac{1}{8}$

Cube root both sides:

$\implies \sqrt[3]{p^3}= \sqrt[3]{\dfrac{1}{8}}$

$\implies p= \sqrt[3]{\dfrac{1}{8}}$

$\textsf{Apply exponent rule} \quad \sqrt[n]{a}=a^{\frac{1}{n}}:$

$\implies p= \left(\dfrac{1}{8}\right)^{\frac{1}{3}}$

$\textsf{Apply exponent rule} \quad \left(\dfrac{a}{b}\right)^c=\dfrac{a^c}{b^c}:$

$\implies p= \dfrac{1^{\frac{1}{3}}}{8^{\frac{1}{3}}}$

$\textsf{Apply exponent rule} \quad 1^a=1:$

$\implies p= \dfrac{1}{8^{\frac{1}{3}}}$

Rewrite 8 as 2³:

$\implies p= \dfrac{1}{(2^3)^{\frac{1}{3}}}$

$\textsf{Apply exponent rule} \quad (a^b)^c=a^{bc}:$

$\implies p= \dfrac{1}{2^{(3 \cdot \frac{1}{3})}}$

Simplify:

$\implies p= \dfrac{1}{2^{\frac{3}{3}}}$

$\implies p= \dfrac{1}{2^{1}}$

$\implies p= \dfrac{1}{2}$

(08.03 LC) Factor completely: x2 + 10x + 24 (5 points) Prime (x + 12)(x + 2) (x + 3)(x + 8) (x + 6)(x + 4)

Alona [7]

Answer:

Option C is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to factorize the expression:

$x^2+10x+24$

For factorization we need to break the middle term such that the product is equal to 24x^2 and the sum is equal to 10x

We know that 6*4 = 24 and 6+4 =10

So, solving

$=x^2+6x+4x+24$

Taking common

$=x(x+6)+4(x+6)$

$=(x+4)(x+6)$

So, the factors of

$x^2+10x+24$

are

$(x+4)(x+6)$

Hence Option C is correct
