D) 12 would NOT be a possible length for the third side because the sum of the 2 shorter legs should be greater than the longest leg.
The formula for perimeter is P = 2length + 2width (P = 2L + 2W)
You know that the length is 4 more yards then twice the width. In equation form this would be:
length = 4 + 2w
Plug what you know into the perimeter formula:
26 = 2(4 + 2w) + 2w
First you must distribute the 2 to the numbers inside the parentheses, which would be 4 and 2w...
26 = (2 * 4) + (2 * 2w) + 2w
26 = 8 + 4w + 2w
Now you must combine like terms. This means that first numbers with the same variables (w) must be combined...
26 = 8 + 4w + 2w
4w + 2w = 6w
26 = 8 + 6w
Now bring 8 to the left side by subtracting 8 to both sides (what you do on one side you must do to the other). Since 8 is being added on the right side, subtraction (the opposite of addition) will cancel it out (make it zero) from the right side and bring it over to the left side.
26 - 8 = 8 - 8 + 6w
18 = 0 + 6w
18 = 6w
To isolate w divide 6 to both sides
18 / 6 = 6w / 6
w = 3
We know that the width is 3 ft
Now you must find the length. To do this plug 3 where you see w in the equation:
length = 4 + 2w
l = 4 + 2(3)
l = 4 + 6
l = 10
We know that length is 10 ft
Letter B. is the correct answer

Answer:
The expression
represents the radius of the soap dispenser.
The expression
represents the height of the soap dispenser.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question says that the soap dispenser is in the form of a cylinder.
Now, we find the volume of the cylinder by using the given formula:
, where V represents the volume, 'r' represents the radius, and 'h' represents the height of the cylinder.
Now, the volume is the product of radius squared and the height, if they both are functions of
, then the function to represent the volume must have cubic exponents.
Since, the radius is squared in the formula and it is a function of
that implies that the function of radius must have square as the exponent of
, therefore, the expression
will represent the radius of the soap dispenser and the expression
represents the height of the soap dispenser.
