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!

8. John buys a TV for $1900. He later sells it for
Semmy [17]

John bought the TV for . . . . $1,900

John sold the TV for . . . . . $750

John lost this much on the TV . . . (1,900 - 750) = $1,150

What fraction of the amount he paid did he lose ?

$1,150 / $1,900 = 0.6053 of the amount he paid never came back

What is this fraction as a percentage ?

0.6053 = 60.53 %

Rounded to one decimal place:  <em>60.5 %  </em>

John took a beating on that TV.  I hope he got a lot of good use out of it while he had it.

Answer:A

Step-by-step explanation:

Length=L=15cm

Width=w=8cm

Height=h=2cm

Surface area=(2xwxL)+(2xLxh)+(2xhxw)

Surface area=(2x8x15)+(2x15x2)+(2x2x8)

Surface area=240+60+32

Surface area=332 cm^2
