Hey there! I'm happy to help!

The perimeter is the distance around the rectangle. You have used the word height, but I will replace it with the word width because the word height is usually used with 3D shapes.

If W is the width and the length is L, the formula for the perimeter is 2W+2L=P.

We can plug in the numbers we already have to solve for L, the length of our base.

2(14.2)+2L=66

28.4+2L=66

We subtract 28.4 from both sides.

2L=37.6

We divide both sides by 2.

L=18.8

The length of the base is 18.8 meters.

Have a wonderful day!

The length of a rectangle field is 20 less than its width. The area of the field is 12000 ft ^2. What is the width of the field?
Naddik [55]
L = w - 20

12000 = w × ( w - 20 )
12000 = w^2 - 20w
w^2 - 20w - 12000 = 0
( w - 10 ) ( w - 10 ) = 0

width = 10

Y=-x^2 is just y=x^2 reflected over the x-axis. In other words, the parabola is upside-down.

Each child in the Smith family was given an orange cut into 8 equal sections. Each child ate 5/8 of the orange. After combining
sweet-ann [11.9K]
Every child was given a orange cut into 8/8 pieces, Each child ate 5/8 pieces leaving 3/8 pieces each. How many kids were in their family. So each kid has 3/8 so you would add up 3/8 + 3/8 until you get a whole number of three. Or you can multiply the 3/8 by 8 or 8/1 (same thing) and get 24/8 slices which would simplify down to 3 full oranges, so there would be 8 kids because 8 x 3 = 24.

OLga [1]

So, the equation would be -

1.50x + 10 = 40

and you have to find the value of x

1.50(?) +10 = 40

The value of x would be 20

1.50 x 20 = 30 +10 = 40

Your answer would be that

Daniel can ride up to 20 rides
