So first of all we need to know that area is length times width
Area = L x W 
since we know the area is 42 and the length is 12 lets plug those in
42 = 12 x W 
now we dont know what W is yet but we can figure it out by dividing 42 by 12
42/12 = 3.5 
So W = 3.5!
but its asking for the perimeter and we know that perimeter is all of the sides of the rectangle added up. Heres a picture
   
       ___3.5___
      |                 |
      |                 |
 12 |                 |  12 
      |                 |
      ************
             3.5

see now we just add those all up together:)

12 + 12 + 3.5 + 3.5 = 31!!
so our perimeter is 31 inches:)
have a good one

Can someone help please 3x-y=13 A. (6,5) B.(3,-4) C. (6,5) and (3,-4) D. neither
gavmur [86]

Answer:

C. (6, 5) and (3, -4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation 3x - y = 13, we need to figure out which points satisfy it. In order for an ordered pair to satisfy an equation, when we plug the x-coordinate in for x and the y-coordinate in for y, the equation should hold true.

Let's try with (6, 5):

3x - y = 13

3 * 6 - 5 =? 13

18 - 5 =? 13

13 = 13

Since this is true, we know that (6, 5) is indeed a solution.

Now let's try with (3, -4):

3x - y = 13

3 * (3) - (-4) =? 13

9 + 4 =?13

13 = 13

Again, since this is true, then (3, -4) must be a solution.

Thus, the answer is C.

Help, I don't remember​
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

  x = 144

Step-by-step explanation:

What you need to remember about this geometry is that all of the triangles are similar. As with any similar triangles, that means ratios of corresponding sides are proportional. Here, we can write the ratios of the long leg to the short leg and set them equal to find x.

  x/60 = 60/25

Multiply by 60 to find x:

  x = (60·60)/25

  x = 144

_____

<em>Comment on this geometry</em>

You may have noticed that the above equation can be written in the form ...

  60 = √(25x)

That is, the altitude from the hypotenuse (60) is equal to the geometric mean of the lengths into which it divides the hypotenuse (25 and x).

This same sort of "geometric mean" relation holds for other parts of this geometry, as well. The short leg of the largest triangle (the hypotenuse of the one with legs 25 and 60) is the geometric mean of the short hypotenuse segment (25) and the total hypotenuse (25+x).

And, the long leg of the large triangle (the hypotenuse of the one with legs 60 and x) is the geometric mean of the long hypotenuse segment (x) and the total hypotenuse (25+x).

While it can be a shortcut in some problems to remember these geometric mean relationships, you can always come up with what you need by simply remembering that the triangles are all similar.

Where does the line y=x-1 cross the y-axis?
konstantin123 [22]
<h3>✽ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ~Hello There!~ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ✽</h3>

➷ It would cross at (0, -1) or just -1

y = mx + c

The 'c' value in the equation is the y intercept

<h3><u>✽</u></h3>

➶ Hope This Helps You!

➶ Good Luck (:
