A rectangle has a perimeter of 66 meters and a height of 14.2 meters. What is the length of the base?

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!

MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

it would be 1385

Step-by-step explanation: because 850 miles per hour converted into meter per min would be 22799.04 meters per sec and then u would Find the number in the whole number place 4 and look one place to the right for the rounding digit on the right side of the decimal point 7. Round up if this number is greater than or equal to 5 and round down if it is less than 5

I need the distance show work please!

For (-7,3) and (5,3) the answer is 12. You add the different points, -7 and 5 because one is negative and one is positive. You do not add 3 and 3 because they are the same.

(3,-6) and (3,-10) = 4 because -6 and -10 are negatives. The answer is always positive.

(8,0) and (8,-8) = 8.

In rectangle MNOP, MO = 4x - 10 and NP = 2x + 4.<br> What is the length of a diagonal?
slega [8]

Answer:

18

Step-by-step explanation:

From the rectangle, M O = NP

4x - 10 = 2x+4

4x-2x = 4 + 10

2x = 14

x = 14/2

x = 7

SInce MO and NP are the diagonal

Length of diagonal = 4x- 10

Length of diagonal = 4(7) - 10

Length of diagonal = 28 - 10

Length of diagonal = 18

hence the required length is 18
