Answer:

w = 20 1/3 ft.

l = 43 2/3 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

w=width l = length

l = 3 + 2w

128 = 2l + 2w

128 = 2(3 + 2w) + 2w

128 = 6 + 4w +2w

122 = 6w

20 1/3 = w

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>The first part of finding the length and width of this rectangle is defining each of the lengths as <em>variables</em>. We usually do this by writing, "let" for each statement. Let's try!</h3><h2>Let x = the width</h2><h2>      2x + 3 = the length</h2>

Now, let's define the perimeter in terms of x. So, we understand that the perimeter consists of the width times 2 and the length times 2. It's simply how rectangles work, right? Let's do this, then! Let's find the perimeter in terms of x!

<h3>  2(x) + 2(2x + 3)=</h3><h3>=2x + 4x + 6</h3><h3>=6x + 6</h3>

Considering the width of the rectangle is x and the length is 2x + 3, the perimeter of the rectangle is 6x + 6. But hey, we already know what the actual perimeter of the rectangle is! Let's make a system of equations! (We're getting a little advanced here but it's alright, ask me questions if you need to!)

<h2>Let P = total perimeter of the rectangle</h2><h2>P = 6x + 6</h2><h2>P = 128 feet</h2><h3>We can solve this system of equations by using the equal values method. If you need more help, you can search the equal values method on the internet. If you need more explanation, please ask!</h3><h2>Now we know that both 6x + 6 and 128 are both equal to P. This means that 6x + 6 and 128 are equal, too! We can now make an equation to find x, the width!</h2><h2>6x + 6 = 128</h2><h2>      - 6      - 6</h2><h2>6x = 122</h2><h2>x = 122/6 = 20 ¹/₃ feet</h2><h3>Since we have already defined x as 20 1/3 feet. Now we can find the length, 2x + 3. We can plug x into the equation.</h3><h2>2 ( 20 ¹/₃ ) + 3 = length</h2><h2>40 ²/₃ + 3 = length</h2><h2>length = 43 ²/₃.</h2><h2><em>Now we can check our work!</em></h2><h2>6x + 6 = 128</h2><h2>6(20 ¹/₃) + 6 = 128</h2><h2>6(20 ¹/₃) = 122</h2><h3>If we multiply 6 and 20 ¹/₃, we find the product as 122. This means that x is true in the situation and that it is correct.</h3><h2>If you need help, please tell me in the comments! I'm happy to help! <3</h2><h2><em></em></h2>

Which is the equation of a hyperbola centered at the origin with vertex (0, sqrt 12 ) that passes through (2 sqrt 3,6)
mina [271]

Answer:

y-intercept = a +y^2/12 term in it.

Then for y=6, you have

.. 6^2/12 -x^2/b = 1

.. 2 = x^2/b

.. b = x^2/2

If your point is (2√3, 6), then this is

.. b = (2√3)^2/2 = 12/2 = 6

Then the hyperbola's equation is

.. y^2/12 -x^2/6 = 1 . . . . . . . . selection D

If a rectangular prism was 5 feet long, 5 feet high and 6 feet deep, how much would it weigh if one cubic foot weighed 0.1 tons?
padilas [110]

Answer:

Total weight = 1,500 tons

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

l = 5 ft

b = 5 ft

h = 6 ft

One cubic foot weighed = 0.1 tons

Find:

Total weight

Computation:

Volume = lbh

Volume = (5)(5)(6)

Volume = 150 ft³

Total weight = Volume / 0.1

Total weight = 150 / 0.1

Total weight = 1,500 tons

What is the least common denominator of<br> 1/3 and 5/9
crimeas [40]

Answer:

<h2>LCD = 9</h2>

Equivalent Fractions with the LCD

1/3 = 3/9

5/9 = 5/9

Solution:

Rewriting input as fractions if necessary:

1/3, 5/9

For the denominators (3, 9) the least common multiple (LCM) is 9.

LCM(3, 9)

Therefore, the least common denominator (LCD) is 9.

Calculations to rewrite the original inputs as equivalent fractions with the LCD:

1/3 = 1/3 × 3/3 = 3/9

5/9 = 5/9 × 1/1 = 5/9
