Answer:

5 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

If the smallest rectangle has a length of 8 meters, and a perimeter of 24 meters then its width is given by:

24 = 2*8+2*W_1\\W_1= 4\ meters

We can conclude that the width is half of the length for both rectangles. Therefore, the width of the larger rectangle, with a perimeter of 30 meters, is:

30 = 2*W_2+2*L_2\\30 = 2*W_2+4*W_2\\W_2=5\ meters

The width of the original rectangle is 5 meters.

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the scale factor

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its perimeters is equal to the scale factor

Let

z -----> the scale factor

P1 -----> the perimeter of the reduced rectangle on the right

P2 ----> the perimeter of the original rectangle on the left

substitute

step 2

Find the width of the reduced rectangle on the right

substitute the given values.

Find the width of the original rectangle on the left.

To find the width of the original rectangle on the left, divide the width of the reduced rectangle on the right by the scale factor.

levacccp [35]

Answer:

<u>According to the table, the type of construction and the fire protection class, Darrell will pay US$ 213 for the annual insurance premium. </u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's check and use the information given to solve the question:  

Replacement value of Darrell's home = US$ 87,500  

Value of the homeowner's policy = 80% of Darrell's house  

Type of Darrell's home construction = Brick  

Fire protection class = 3  

2. Let's find the exact amount of the insurance coverage:  

Amount of insurance coverage = 80% of Darrell's house  

Amount of insurance coverage = 80% * 87,500  

Amount of insurance coverage = 0.8 * 87,500  

Amount of insurance coverage = 70,000  

The amount of insurance coverage is US$ 70,000  

<u>According to the table, the type of construction and the fire protection class, Darrell will pay US$ 213 for the annual premium.</u>

Which of the binomials below is a factor of this trinomial?<br>х2 - 10х- 39​
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

(x - 13) and (x + 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x² - 10x - 39

Consider the factors of the constant term (- 39) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (- 10)

The factors are - 13 and +3, since

- 13 × 3 = - 39 and - 13 + 3 = - 10, thus

x² - 10x - 39 = (x - 13)(x + 3) ← in factored form

Area of the Shaded Region rectangle within reactanlge
Alik [6]

Answer:

132

Step-by-step explanation:

First you need to find the area of both regions (shaded and not shaded)

To find the shaded regions area multiply length by width

20 x 8 = 160

Then find the area of the unshaded region

7 x 4 = 28

Finally subtract the unshaded region from the shaded region

160 - 28 = 132
