The width of a rectangle is 6 in. less than its length. The perimeter is 68 in. What is the width of the rectangle?

2 answers:

7 0

Length= y in.
Width= (y-6) in.
Perimeter = 2(L*W)
Perimeter=2L+2W
68in.=2(y)+2(y-6)
68=2y+2y-12
68=4y-12
68+12=4y
4y=80
y=20
Length= 20 inches, width =14 inches

To answer let the length of the rectangle be represented by L. With the condition from the problem, the width is L - 6. The perimeter of the rectangle is twice the sum of the length and width. With the given values, the equation becomes,
P = 2L + 2W
68 in = 2L + 2(L - 6)
The value of L from the equation is 20 inches. Therefore, the width is equal to 14 inches.

Sherry brings two containers of cookies to a party. Each container contains 6 cookies. Sally shows up with a dozen cookies. Sand

kotykmax [81]

Answer:

22 cookies

Step-by-step explanation:

A dozen items means 12 number of items.

Number of cookies brought by Sherry = No. of containers multiplied by number of cookies in one container

= 2 $\times$ 6 = 12

Number of cookies brought by Sally = A dozen cookies = 12

Number of cookies brought by Sandy = 2

Number of cookies brought by Sherry, Sally and Sandy together = 12 + 12+2 = 26

Total number of cookies to be brought = 4 dozen = 48 cookies

Number of cookies to be brought by Harry = Total number of cookies to be brought - Number of cookies brought by Sherry, Sally and Sandy together

48 - 26 = <em>22 cookies</em>

7. If U= {2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16} and<br> A = {6, 10, 14}, what is A'?

Tresset [83]

The compliment of set A that is A' is equal to {2, 4, 8, 12, 16}.

We are given the universal set as:

U = {2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16}

We are also given that set A is:

A = {6, 10, 14}

We need to find A'

For this, we will subtract set A from the universal set, U.

So, we get that:

A' = U - A

A' = {2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16} - {6, 10, 14}

Solving the expression, we get that:

A' = {2, 4, 8, 12, 16}

Therefore, we get that, the compliment of set A that is A' is equal to {2, 4, 8, 12, 16}.

A calculator is required to obtain the final answer on this question. A solid metal sphere at room temperature 20oC is dropped i

yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

T = 47.1875°C

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Surrounding temp, Ts = 100°C

Initial Temperature ,T0= 20°C

Increase in temperature = 15°C

Final temperature, T = 20 + 15 = 35°C

Time, t = 9 seconds

Let's take Newton's law of cooling:

$T - Ts = (T_0 - Ts)e^k^t$

We'll solve for k

$35 - 100 = (20 - 100)e^9^k$

$-65 = (-80)e^9^k$

Divide both sides by -5

$13 = (16)e^9^k$

$9k = ln (\frac{13}{16})$

$k = \frac{1}{9} ln (\frac{13}{16})$

$k = -0.02307104053$

Let's now find the temperature of the ball after 18 seconds in boiling water.

Use the Newton's equation again:

$T - Ts = (T_0 - Ts)e^k^t$

$T - 100 = (20 - 100)e^-0.0^2^3^0^7^1^0^4^0^5^3^*^1^8$

$T - 100 = (-80)e^-0.0^2^3^0^7^1^0^4^0^5^3^*^1^8$

$T - 100= -52.8125$

$T = 100 - 52.8125$

T = 47.1875°C

Temperature of the ball after 18 seconds in boiling water is 47.1875°C
