The diameter of Jupiter is 88,000 miles This is about 11.1 times the diameter of Earth What is the diameter of the earth

1 answer:

5 0

Assuming that Jupiter and Earth are similar
linear sale factor=(diameter of Jupiter) /(diameter of earth)=11
thus:
diameter of earth=(diameter of Jupiter)/(linear scale factor)
=88000/11
=8000 miles
The diameter of earth is 8000 miles

Amy and Zach each have 24 feet of fencing for their rectangular gardens. Amy makes her fence 6 feet long . Zach makes his fence

saul85 [17]

For this case we have that by definition, the area of a rectangle is given by:

$A = w * l$

Where:

w: Is the width of the rectangle

l: is the length of the rectangle

Each of the girls has 24 feet of fencing, that is, the perimeter is $P = 2w + 2l = 24.$

Amy:

$l = 6 \ ft\\2w + 2 (l) = 24\\2w + 2 (6) = 24\\2w + 12 = 24\\2w = 24-12\\2w = 12\\w = 6$

Thus, Amy's fence area is: $A = 6 * 6 = 36 \ ft ^ 2$

Zach:

$l = 8 \ ft\\2w + 2l = 24\\2w + 2 (8) = 24\\2w + 16 = 24\\2w = 24-16\\2w = 8\\w = 4$

Thus, the area of Zach's fence is: $A = 4 * 8 = 32 \ ft ^ 2$

Answer:

Amy's garden has a greater area

$36 \ ft ^ 2-32 \ ft ^ 2 = 4ft ^ 2$ , is $4 \ ft ^ 2$ greater

*PLEASE HELP ME* (math attachment) IT'S PAST MIDNIGHT I'M TIRED AND DESPERATE

Luda [366]

<h3><u>Answer:</u></h3>

<h3><u>Step-by-step explanation:</u></h3>

let's rewrite this

x + y = 11 <em>- equation 1</em>

- x = - y - 9 <em>- equation 2</em>

solve the first equation for x

x + y = 11 (add -y to both sides to get x by itself)

x = -y + 11 <em> - equation 3</em>

now substitute -y + 11 for x in the second equation

y - 11 = - y - 9 (2 negative signs next to each other equals positive)

2y - 11 = -9 (add y to both sides)

2y = 2 (add 11 to both sides)

y = 1 (divide both sides by 2)

now substitute y = 1 into equation 3

x = -1 + 11

x = 10

therefore, x = 10 and y = 1. in coordinates, x goes before y

therefore, the coordinates are (10, 1)

therefore the answer is D

good luck my friend! hope this helped a lot! also, i found a website if you don't fully understand this, its called MathPapa, i didn't use it to work this out so my working might be different but it definitely helps me sometimes. for an equation like this, type it likes this: x+y=11; -x=-y-9
