Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Let length of rectangle be "l"

Let width of rectangle be "w"

We know,

LENGTH is 2 MORE THAN WIDTH, we can write:

l = w + 2

Also, note the perimeter is the sum of all 4 sides of a rectangle, thus:

length + width + length + width

Now,

The perimeter is given as 72, so we can write:

l + l + w + w = 72

2l + 2w = 72

We have 2 equations that we need to solve and find the length (l).

The first equation is:

l = w + 2

Rearranging, we have:

w = l - 2

We put this into 2nd equation and find the value of l:

2l + 2w = 72\\2l + 2(l-2) = 72\\2l+2l-4=72\\4l-4=72\\4l=76\\l=\frac{76}{4}\\l=19

The length is 19 meters, the correct answer is C

The volume of a cube is the length of one side cubed, therefore the side length of the cube is the cubed root of the volume. Using a calculator to find the cubed root, you find that it is 0.4 meters, or answer C.

Therefore the solution is 0.4 meters; answer C.

Monica [59]
The answer is 6 inches, 3*3*3 equals 27, the current volume of the cube, 27*8 equals 216, the new volume, 6*6*6 equals 216, so the side lengths equal 6 inches.

Steve picks 55 pounds of pears. He packs an equal amount of pears into 6 bags. He then has 4 pounds of pears left. What is the w
Serggg [28]
Because he has 4 pounds of apples left, you are to subtract that from the total pounds picked, which was a total of 55 pounds. So 55 with 4 taken away, or 55 - 4, equals 51. Since he had equally put 51 pounds into six bags, you are to then divide . 51 / 6 = 8.5. He had put 8.5 pounds worth of apples into each bag.
