The answer is B. No, the rectangle cannot have x=20 and y=11 because x + y does not equal 32.

The reasoning is, 20 + 11 = 31. In order to find the perimeter around the whole object, you will need to multiply 31 by 2 and get 62.

But, x is ONLY 20 and y is ONLY 11. It is not saying x(2) and y(2), so your answer has to be B.

B. No, the rectangle cannot have x = 20 and y = 11 because x + y ≠ 32

Perimeter = 2(l + w)
Perimeter = 64

Assuming: P = 64; w = 11 ; l = ?
64 = 2(l + 11)
64/2 = l + 11
32 - 11 = l
length = 21.

Easton is going to invest $340 and leave it in an account for 8 years. Assuming the interest is compounded quarterly, what inter

Jlenok [28]

Answer:

100.7%

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the interest is compounded quarterly, and there are 4 quarters per year, that would leave us with 32 quarters total where interest is acquired. Now, we need to find the interest rate, that would be required in order to end up with 420 dollars after 32 quarters.

We can setup a formula using our period of time and the money he invested into the bank:

$340(x)^{32}=420$

We can divide 340 from both sides, and simplify the right side to 21 divided by 17:

$x^{32}=\frac{21}{17}$

Taking the 32th root of 21/17 is equal to 1.00662, which is equal to 100.0662%. To the nearest tenth of a percent, this is equal to 100.7%.

What is the value of x

My name is Ann [436]

X=3

Explanation:

A straight line equals 180°, and they give you the one angle of 56°, so you know 56+ the other equation has to equal 180

56+4x+112=180
168+4x=180

Subtract 168 from both sides

4x=12

Divide 4 from both sides

X=3

You can check by filling it in.

56+4*3+112=

12+56+112=180
