Answer: 7.5"

Step-by-step explanation:

First, take away the extra 5" on the longer side lengths

40-5-5=30

Then divide by 4 to get the width

30/4=7.5

This works because if you took the 7.5" and added back the 5 inches, it makes 12.5. Then add all 4 sides together, you get 40.

7.5+7.5+12.5+12.5=

Answer:

W = 7.5 in

Step-by-step explanation:

We'll use the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle:  P = 2W + 2L.

Here, L = W + 5, so P = 2W + 2L becomes:

P = 2W + 2(W + 5), and this equals 40 in.

Thus we have the equation in W (the desired variable) as follows:

2W + 2(W + 5) = 40 in, or 4W + 10 = 40.

Then 4W = 30, and W = 7.5 in.

Write the measure 29° 6' 6" as decimal to the nearest thousandth.
den301095 [7]
This angle is "29 degrees 6 minutes 6 seconds".

-- There are 60 minutes in 1 degree. 
     So 1 minute = 1/60 degree.

-- There are 60 seconds in 1 minute. 
      So 1 second = 1/60 minute = 1/3600 degree.

  29  6'  6"  =  (29)° + (6/60)° + (6/3600)°

                   =  (29)° + (0.1)° + (0.001666...)°

                   =        29.101666...°

Rounded to the nearest thousandth of a degree:  29.102°

Answer:

0.6 or \frac{3}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the Pythagorean theorem (a^{2} +b^{2} =c^{2}) we get that the hypotenuse is 5.

so the cos V is adjacent over the hypotenuse. so if adjacent is 3 and hypotenuse is 5, the answer is \frac{3}{5} which equals 0.6 in decimal form.

X = y - 3
Leviafan [203]
The answer is A. (1, 4), because when the values are substituted in to the equations, you get 1 = 4 - 3 and 1 + 12 = 13, which are both correct. I hope this helps!
