0.00045−2.5⋅10 −5 = what is the answer i been up all day
Mama L [17]
If I’m getting this right the equation is: 0.00045 - 2.5 x 10 - 5? The dot in between 2.5 and 10 indicates a multiplication sign

So...

0.00045 - (2.5 x 10) - 5
0.00045 - 25 - 5
= -29.9999 -> -30

A rectangle has a length 6 more than it's width if the width is decreased by 2 and the length decreased by 4 the resulting has a
Rashid [163]

Answer:

Length of original rectangle: 11 units.

\frac{\text{Area of original rectangle}}{\text{Area of new rectangle}}=\frac{55}{21}

\text{Perimeter of new rectangle}=20

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent width of the original rectangle.  

We have been given that a rectangle has a length 6 more than it's width. S the length of the original rectangle would be x+6.

We have been given that when the width is decreased by 2 and the length decreased by 4 the resulting has an area of 21 square units.

The width of new rectangle would be x-2.

The length of new rectangle would be x+6-4=x+2.

The area of new rectangle would be (x+2)(x-2).

Now we will equate area of new rectangle with 21 and solve for x as:

(x+2)(x-2)=21

Applying difference of squares, we will get:

x^2-2^2=21

x^2-4=21

x^2-4+4=21+4

x^2=25

Since width cannot be negative, so we will take positive square root of both sides.

\sqrt{x^2}=\sqrt{25}

x=5

Therefore, the width of original rectangle is 5 units.

Length of the original rectangle would be x+6\Rightarrow x+5=11.

Therefore, the length of original rectangle is 11 units.

\text{Area of original rectangle}=5\times 11

\text{Area of original rectangle}=55    

Therefore, area of the original rectangle is 55 square units.

Now we will find ratio of the original rectangle area to the new rectangle area as:

\frac{\text{Area of original rectangle}}{\text{Area of new rectangle}}=\frac{55}{21}

We know that perimeter of rectangle is two times the sum of length and width.

\text{Perimeter of new rectangle}=2((x+2)+(x-2))

\text{Perimeter of new rectangle}=2((5+2)+(5-2))

\text{Perimeter of new rectangle}=2(7+3)

\text{Perimeter of new rectangle}=2(10)

\text{Perimeter of new rectangle}=20

Therefore, the perimeter of the new rectangle is 20 units.
