Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let x be the width.

length = x +2

Perimeter = 36 ft

2*( x +2 + x ) =36

2x + 2 = 36/2

2x + 2 = 18

2x = 18 -2 = 16

x = 16/2

x = 8 ft

Width = 8 ft

Length = 8 + 2 = 10 ft

atroni [7]

$3.2 x 10^{-4} x \frac{100}{3600} = 8.888 x 10^{-6}$

therefore ur answer is OPTION A 8.889 x 10-6 cm/s

pens: $6.50 * 12 ===> $78

notebook paper: $105 * 4 ===> $420

pencils + pens + notebook paper = total cost

24.60 + 78 + 420 = 522.60

Write the equation of the line that is perpendicular to y=2x-7 and passes through the point (6, 5)

Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

we are given a equation of a line

we want to figure out the equation of the perpendicular line passes through the (6,5) points

in order to do so

recall that,

$\displaystyle m_{ \text{perpendicular}} = - \frac{1}{m}$

we got from our given equation that m=2

because equation of a line is y=mx+b

thus

$\displaystyle m_{ \text{perpendicular}} = - \frac{1}{2}$

remember that, when we want to figure out perpendicular line or parallel line we should the formula given by

$\displaystyle y - y_{1} = m(x - x_{1})$

since we got our perpendicular m is -½, $x_1=6$ and $y_1=5$ , substitute

$\displaystyle y - 5 = - \frac{1}{2} (x - 6)$

to get the perpendicular equation you should simplify the above equation to y=mx+b form

distribute -½:

$\displaystyle y - 5 = - \frac{1}{2} x + 3$

add 5 to both sides:

$\displaystyle y = - \frac{1}{2} x + 8$

hence,

our answer choice is B
