Answer:

Width is 10 1/2 inches and the length = 21 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width be x then the length us 2x inches.

Perimeter = 2x + 2(2x) = 63

6x = 63

x = 10 1/2 inches.

I need to find the area of the shaded region, but I need detailed steps

olasank [31]

The shaded region is a parallelogram.

The formula for the area of any parallelogram is $A=bh$ .

The base of the parallelogram is 2 meters long (given).

The height of the parallelogram is 9 meters (do not be fooled by the unnecessary information of 14 meters)
The height is 9 meters because the height has to be perpendicular to the base. Thus, the side length must be 9 meters.

Multiply them together.

$2 \times 9 = 18$

The area of the parallelogram is 18 square meters.

The two triangles are similar, what is the value of X?

Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

Since both triangles are similar, you can make an equation 12/5x-2 = 16/6x. When you cross multiply you get 72x=80x-32. Then you transfer the 80x and you get -8x = -32. Then you divide by -8 and you get x=4.

What is the first derivative of r with respect to t (i.e., differentiate r with respect to t)? r = 5/(t2)Note: Use ^ to show exp

adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

The first derivative of $r(t) = 5\cdot t^{-2}$ (r(t)=5*t^{-2}) with respect to t is $r'(t) = -10\cdot t^{-3}$ (r'(t) = -10*t^{-3}).

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be $r(t) = \frac{5}{t^{2}}$ , which can be rewritten as $r(t) = 5\cdot t^{-2}$ . The rule of differentiation for a potential function multiplied by a constant is:
