1 answer:

4 0

L=w+2 and 2w+2l=40

Substitute length for w+2 in perimeter formula.

2w+2(w+2)=40
2w+2w+4=40
4w+4=40
4w=36
w=9

l=w+2
l=9+2
l=11

a=lw=11*9=99 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

3/7y + 3/4x = 3/5

y = -3/4x.7/3 +3/5.7/3

y = -7/4x +7/5

so the slope is -7/4

In 1990, the population of Boston, Massachusetts was 574,283. In 2000, the population was 589,141. What is the percent of change

MrMuchimi

Answer:

Percent of change in population is $2.6$ %

Step-by-step explanation:

Given population of Boston is $574,283$ measured in year $1990$ .

And population of Boston in year $2000$ is $589,141$ .

We need to find percent of change in population.

So, percent change $=\frac{New\ population-Old\ population}{Old\ population}\times100$ %

Here old population is $574,283$ and new population is $589,141$

Plugging these value in formula we get,

Percent change $=\frac{589,141-574,283}{574,283}\times100\\\\=\frac{14858}{574,283}\times100=0.0258\times100\\\\=2.587$

Rounding to nearest tenth 2.6%

The height of the Empire State Building is 1250 feet tall. Your friend, who is 75 inches tall, is standing nearby and casts a sh

Lyrx [107]

Answer:

The length of the building's shadow = 550.66 ft

Explanations:

The height of the Empie State Building = 1250 feet

The friend's height = 75 inches

The length of the friend's shadow = 33 inches

$\frac{Actual\text{ height of the friend}}{\text{Length of the friend's shadow}}=\text{ }\frac{Height\text{ of the building}}{\text{Length of the building's shadow}}$ $\begin{gathered} \frac{75}{33}=\text{ }\frac{1250}{\text{Length of the building's shadow}} \\ 2.27\text{ = }\frac{1250}{\text{Length of the building's shadow}} \\ \text{Length of the building's shadow = }\frac{1250}{2.27} \\ \text{Length of the building's shadow = }550.66\text{ f}et \end{gathered}$

A line passes through the point (8,-9) and has a slope of -5/2. Write an equation in slope intercept form for this line.

noname [10]

Answer:

y = - $\frac{5}{2}$ x + 11

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Here m = - $\frac{5}{2}$ , then

y = - $\frac{5}{2}$ x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (8, - 9) into the partial equation

- 9 = - 20 + c ⇒ c = - 9 + 20 = 11

y = - $\frac{5}{2}$ x + 11 ← equation of line
