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!

A line has a slope of -2/5. Generate the coordinates of two points that would lie on the same line
vovangra [49]

Answer:

Many solutions are possible. One example is (10,5) and (5,7).

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope is the distance between points represented as a ratio of vertical to horizontal distances. It is a difference or subtraction. To find two points work backwards. What two points have y values with a distance of -2?

5-7=-2

So the points are (x,5) and (x,7).

Now what x values have a distance of 5?

10-5 = 5

So the points are (10,5) and (5,7).

Big Lots sells AA batteries for $ 5.88 you git a pack of 12. Walmart has the same batteries for $8.82 you git a pack of 18 batte
Bas_tet [7]

Answer: Neither, Both Unit Prices are equal.

Step-by-step explanation: In order to find the unit price of an item, you divide the quantity by the price. In this case, the Big Lots would be 5.88/12 which equals 49 cents. The Walmart Batteries are 8.82/18 which is also 49 cents. So both batteries are the same price, you should buy the better quality battery in this situation.

The slope is the number next to the variable and the y intercept is the number after the slope.

#1. Slope= -3
Y-intercept=-3

#2. Slope=5/2
Y-intercept=-4

#3. Slope=1/3
Y-intercept=3

#4. Slope=-2
Y-intercept=2

#5. Slope=-2/5
Y-intercept=-2

#6. Slope=-2/3
Y-intercept=-2
