The perimeter of a polygon is equal to the sum of all its sides. In a rectangle with dimensions length, x and width, y is calculated through the equation,

                   P = 2x + 2y

If width is y, then length is equal to 3y - 8. Substituting these to the equaiton,

                P = 2(3y - 8) + 2y

Simplifying,
             24 = 6y - 16 + 2y
              24 = 8y - 16

The value of y from the equation is 5. 

           x = 3y - 8 = 3(5) - 8 = 7

Answers: 
      x = 7 feet
      y = 5 feet

The number of significant figures in the numbers are

  • 100 cm = 1 significant digit
  • 0.006700 cm = 2 significant digits
  • 450. cm = 3 significant digits

<h3>How to determine the number of significant figures in the following numbers?</h3>

As a general rule, the zeros before and after the non-zero figures are not significant.

Using the above rule, we have:

  • 100 cm = 1 significant digit
  • 0.006700 cm = 2 significant digits
  • 450. cm = 3 significant digits

<h3>How to round the following numbers to the correct number of significant figures</h3>

Using the above rule in (a), we have:

  • 123g to show 1 sig fig = 100 g
  • 0.19851m to show 2 sig figs = 0.2 m
  • 0.0057034L to show 3 sig figs = 0.005703 L

<h3>How to report the following answers with correct significant figures</h3>

We have:

(12.93cm) x (2.34cm) x (8cm) = 242.05 cm^3 because 12.93 has 4 significant figures

67.0m / 2.18s = 30.7 m/s because 2.18 has 3 significant figures

<h3>How to convert the following metric to metric</h3>

450mL = 0.45 L

because 1 mL = 0.001 L

2.3 dm = 0.00023 km

because 1 dm = 0.0001 km

0.120cg = 1.2 mg

because 1 cg = 10 mg

6700L = 670000 cL

because 1 L = 100 cL

<h3>How to convert the following metric</h3>

a. 2.34miles = 3.76 km (1mile = 1.61km) -- given

b. 5.3ft = 161.544 cm(2.54cm = 1 in)

Because 1 ft = 30.48 cm
