Perimeter is the sum of all the 4 sides:
Perimeter = L + L + W + W

Given Width = 10 and Perimeter = 68
L + L + 10 + 10 = 68
2L + 20 = 68
2L = 68 - 20
2L = 48
L = 48 ÷ 2 = 24

Length = 24 inches

The perimeter of a rectangle is given by:
P_r = 2(l+w)

We need to solve for length (l):
P_r = 2l+ 2w
l = \frac{P_r - 2w}{2}

Plug in given information:
l =  \frac{68-2(10)}{2}
l = 24

So, the length of the rectangle is 24 inches.

A ball has a volume of 128 cubic inches. Find the diameter of the ball.
Natalija [7]
\bf \textit{volume of a sphere}\\\\
V=\cfrac{4\pi r^3}{3}~~
\begin{cases}
r=radius\\
-----\\
V=128
\end{cases}\implies 128=\cfrac{4\pi r^3}{3}\implies 128(3)=4\pi r^3

\bf \cfrac{128(3)}{4\pi }=r^3\implies \sqrt[3]{\cfrac{128(3)}{4\pi }}=r^3\implies \sqrt[3]{\cfrac{96}{\pi }}=r\implies \sqrt[3]{\cfrac{8\cdot 12}{\pi }}=r
\\\\\\
\sqrt[3]{\cfrac{2^3\cdot 12}{\pi }}=r\implies 2\sqrt[3]{\cfrac{12}{\pi }}=r\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\textit{and since the diameter is \underline{twice as the radius}}\qquad d=4\sqrt[3]{\cfrac{12}{\pi }}

Match the quadrilateral with the best and most complete description.
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

See  explanation below.

The selection of drop down arrows from top to bottom should be:

5; 4; 1; 2; 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Quadrilateral with exactly ONE set of parallel sides: Trapezoid  (option 5)

Parallelogram with 4 congruent (equal) sides and 4 right angles: square (option 4)

Quadrilateral with 2 pairs of parallel sides (notice no reference to angles between sides and constrain about similarity in side length - so this os the most general description): parallelogram (option 1)

Parallelogram with 4 right angles (notice no constrain about the length of the sides): rectangle (option 2)

Parallelogram with 4 congruent sides (notice there is no constrain about the angles between the sides): rhombus (option 3)

Find the value of B in the following equation if you know it goes through the point (-5, -8):
Leona [35]
2x - 12y = B
(-5,-8)...x = -5 and y = -8
now we sub and solve for B
2(-5) - 12(-8) = B
-10 + 96 = B
86 = B <==
