Okay, so you know that the perimeter of the pen is 28 feet. Now we need the separate side lengths.

P = 28 ft.
Length = x
Width = (1/2)x + 2

So now we can plug in the little equations of length and width into a perimeter formula:
 2(x) + 2((1/2)x + 2) = 28
Distribute the 2's and solve as needed.
2x + x + 4 = 28
3x + 4 = 28
3x = 24
x = 8

To find the width, just plug in 8 for x in our little equation:
(1/2)(8) + 2
= 6

So, the length is 8 feet and the width is 6 feet.

Let the length = x.

width = (x/2) + 2 

28 feet of fencing implies the perimeter = 28

Perimeter = 2*(L + W)

28 = 2*(x  + x/2 + 2)

28/2 =  x + x/2 + 2

14 = 3x/2 + 2

14 - 2 = 3x/2

12 = 3x/2

3x/2 = 12

3x = 2*12

x = 2*12/3 = 8

Length of the pen, = x,   x = 8

Length = 8 feet.

I need some help finding the volume of a sphere with a diameter of 18.6cm. The website says the answer I got from my calculator
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

Volume, V = 3367.6 cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Diameter = 18.6 cm

Radius = diameter/2 = 18.6/2 = 9.3 cm

Pie, π = 3.14

To find the volume of the sphere;

Mathematically, the volume of a sphere is given by the formula;

Volume \; of \; a \; sphere = \frac {4}{3} \pi r^{3}

Where;

r is the radius of the sphere.

Substituting into the formula, we have;

V = \frac {4}{3} * 3.14 * 9.3^{3}

V =  4.186666667 * 804.357

Volume, V = 3367.6 cm³

How can I split five brownies between three people
Bogdan [553]
Each person will get a full brownie leaving you left over with 2 full brownies. You can cut both of the remaining brownies into 3rds giving you 6 pieces. Each person can then get 2 prices. This is 1 and 2/3 brownies per person
