Answer:

B. 40 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

— Estimating

The rectangle enclosing the path has sides of length 9 m and 14 m, so its perimeter is 2(9+14) = 46 m. The distance covered will be shorter than that.

The distance from A to C is longer than the distance from D to C, so we know the distance will be longer than 2·14+9 = 37 m.

Only one answer choice fits in the range 37 < d < 46.

____

— Detailed calculation

The distance from B to C is the hypotenuse of a right triangle with sides 9 and 12. You will recognize that these side lengths are 3 times the side lengths of a 3-4-5 right triangle, so the hypotenuse distance is 3·5 = 15 meters.

The circuit length is ...

AB +BC +CD +DA = 2 + 15 + 14 + 9 = 40 . . . . meters

A) if x=4 evaluate the perimeter of the blanket. Don’t forget to include the measurement in your final answer.
Tanzania [10]
Formula for perimeter of a rectangle:  P = 2W + 2L

Here, P = 2(x-3 ) cm + 2(3x+7) cm = 2x - 6 + 6x + 14   (cm)

Combine like terms:  8x + 8   cm (simplest form)  This is the perimeter.

Now let x = 4:  P(x=4) = 8(4) + 8   cm   = 40 cm

Solve this quadratic equation by completing the square.
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

x=-3+\sqrt{27}\\  x=-3-\sqrt{27}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's find our C value for the quadratic equation.

(\frac{6}{2})^{2} = 9

That is our C. Since we added 9 to one side, we have to do the same to the other. We get:

x^{2} +6x + 9 = 18 + 9\\x^{2} +6x + 9 = 27

Now, lets form the left side as a binomial squared.

(x+3)^{2} = 27

Let's square both sides now:

x+3 = (+/-)\sqrt{27}

Now, we subtract 3 from both sides to isolate the variable, X:

x= -3(+/-)\sqrt{27}

This means that the answers are:

x=-3+\sqrt{27}\\  x=-3-\sqrt{27}

I do not understand your answers though. Answer A makes no sense, answer B is 221, answer C is 115, and answer D also does not make sense. If you could clarify this portion, maybe I can help you find your alphabetic answer

ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

2x+9=12x-21

-2.      -2

9=10x -21

+21           +21

30=10x

Divide by 10 on both sides

30/10

x=3
