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.

mash [69]

For this case we must indicate the cosine of A, of the figure shown. By definition:

Cosine (A) = \frac {Cateto\ adjacent\ to\ the \ angle} {hypotenuse}

Substituting the values we have:

Cosine (A) = \frac {48} {73}

So, we have to:

Cosine (A) = \frac {48} {73}

Let p: The whole number has one digit.
Alex73 [517]

The statement "The whole number has one digit if and only if the whole number is less than 10" is true for converse statement. Then the correct option is C.

<h3>What are converse statements?</h3>

A inverse statement is one that is derived by opposing the supposition and result of a relative clause.

Let p: The whole number has one digit.

Let q: The whole number is less than 10.

The statement "The whole number has one digit if and only if the whole number is less than 10" is true for converse statement.

If p → q, then, q → p

Then the correct option is C.
