Answer: length = 7 feet's

Width = 6 feets

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of a rectangle is the distance round the rectangle.

Perimeter of rectangle is expressed as

2(length + width)

The perimeter of the given rectangle is 26 feet. Therefore

2(L + W) = 26

Dividing by 2,

L+W = 13

The area of a rectangle is expressed as length × width

The given area is 42 square feet. Therefore,

L×W = 42

Substituting L = 13 - W into LW = 42, it becomes

W(13-W) = 42

13W - W^2 = 42

W^2 -13W + 42 = 0

W^2 -7W - 6W + 42 = 0

W(W - 7) - 6(W - 7) = 0

(W-6)(w-7)=0

W-6 = 0 or W-7=0

W=6 or W = 7

L= 13-6 or L= 13-7

L= 7 or L = 6

Drag each expression to the correct location in the equation. Not all expressions will be used.

The two rational expressions will be; (x + 2)/(x² - 36) and 1/(x² + 6x)

<h3>How to simplify Quadratic Expressions?</h3>

We want to determine the two rational expressions whose difference completes the equation.

The two rational expressions will be;

(x + 2)/(x² - 36) and 1/(x² + 6x)

Now, this can be proved as follows;

Step 2 [(x + 2)/(x² - 36)] - [1/(x² + 6)]

= [(x + 2)/(x + 6)(x - 6)] - [1/(x(x + 6)]

Step 3; By subtracting, we have;

[x(x + 2) - (x - 6)]/[x(x + 6)(x - 6)]

Step 4; By further simplification of step 3, we have;

[x² + x + 6]/[x(x-6)(x + 6)]

Use the drop-down menus below to state the sequence of transformations that maps Figure W onto Figure X in the animation below.
iragen [17]

Answer:

Dilate, Reflect

Not congruent, dilations are used

Step-by-step explanation:

Dilate the figure by a scale factor of 1/3

Reflecting the resulting shape will map the figure

Step 1: Dilate by 1/3

Step 2: Reflect over the y-axis

Since dilations are used, the figures are not the same, as it changes area and side lengths.

Orlov [11]

Answer:

8696.10

Step-by-step explanation:

If a car depreciates by 7% each year, this means that 7% of its value that year is subtracted from its previous value. In other words, you can multiply its value by (1-0.07)=0.93.

12500\cdot 0.93^5\approx 8696.10. Hope this helps!

A box of national brand cornflakes is $2.09 for 12 ounces. A box of store label cornflakes is $3.09 for 20 ounces.
grin007 [14]

Answer:

A)

  • National brand cornflakes is 0.174 = .17/oz
  • Store label cornflakes is 0.514 = .15/oz

B) The larger box is cheaper per ounce.


C) 2.09 – .30 = 1.79 for 12 ounces. So than $1.79/12= .15/oz.

They  would both be the same so there would be no better deal.
