The dimensions of court are:

Length = 84 feet and Width = 28 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Perimeter of court = 224 ft

Let l be the length and w be the width

then

l = 3w

The formula for perimeter of rectangle is:

$P = 2(l+w)$

Putting the value

$224 = 2(3w+w)\\224 = 2(4w)\\224 = 8w$

Dividing both sides by 8

$\frac{8w}{8} = \frac{224}{8}\\w = 28$

Length:

$l = 3w\\l = 3*28\\l = 84 ft$

Hence,

The dimensions of court are:

Length = 84 feet and Width = 28 feet

8/20 greater than or less than 2/10

kumpel [21]

8/20 is greater than 2/10. If you were to make the denominators the same, by mulipling 2x2 and 10x2, you would get 4/20, which is less than 8/20.

If f(1) = 10 and f(n) = f(n = 1) – 4 then find the value of f(5).

svetoff [14.1K]

Given:

$f(1)=10$ and $f(n)=f(n-1)-4$ .

To find:

The value of f(5).

Solution:

We have,

$f(n)=f(n-1)-4$

For $n=2$ ,

$f(2)=f(2-1)-4$

$f(2)=f(1)-4$

$f(2)=10-4$

$f(2)=6$

For $n=3$ ,

$f(3)=f(3-1)-4$

$f(3)=f(2)-4$

$f(3)=6-4$

$f(3)=2$

For $n=4$ ,

$f(4)=f(4-1)-4$

$f(4)=f(3)-4$

$f(4)=2-4$

$f(4)=-2$

For $n=5$ ,

$f(5)=f(5-1)-4$

$f(5)=f(4)-4$

$f(5)=-2-4$

$f(5)=-6$

Therefore, the value of $f(5)$ is $-6$ .

I need help finding the angles. The answer Isn't even

mart [117]

The 3 inside angles of a triangle equal 180.

Add the 3 angles together to equal 180:

X + (5x-20) + 4x = 180

Simplify the left side by adding like terms:

10x-20 = 180

Add 20 to each side:

10x = 200

Divide both sides by 10:

x = 20

Angle A = x = 20

Angle B = 4X = 4(20) = 80

Angle C = 5x-20 = 5(20) -20 = 100-20 = 80
