Answer:

The length of the window is 35 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of an object can be found using the general formula: P = 2W + 2L, where P = perimeter, W = width and L= length. Since both the width and perimeter of the window are given, we can plug these values into the formula to solve for the missing variable 'L': 112 = 2(21) + 2L, or 112 = 42 + 2L. We can then use inverse (opposite) operations to isolate the variable and solve. Whatever we do to one side of the equation, we do to the other. We will start by subtracting 42 from each side: 112 - 42 = 42 - 42 + 2L or 70 = 2L. Next, we divide both sides by 2 to solve for L: 70/2 = 2L/2 or L = 35. So, the final length of the window is 35 inches.

A teacher divided students into groups of 3. Each group of 3 wrote a report that had 9 pictures in it. The students used 585 pic

jeyben [28]

So this is what i did but im not sure if its 100% correct

585 / 9 to get the number of groups = 65

then you take 65 x 3 for number of students in each group and you get the final answer of 195 students

What is the definition of congruent line segments

Kay [80]

Are simply line segments that are equal in length. Congruent means equal.Congruent line segments are usually indicated by drawing the same amount of little tic lines in the middle of the segments, perpendicular to the segments. We indicate a line segment by drawing aline over its two endpoints.

the diagram shows a star made by surrounding a regular octagon with triangles, explain why angle a must be 135 degrees

horsena [70]

Answer:

From the sum of angles on a straight line, given that the rotation of each triangle attached to the sides of the octagon is 45° as they move round the perimeter of the octagon, the angle a which is supplementary to the angle turned by the triangles must be 135 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the triangles are eight in number we have;

1) (To simplify), we consider the five triangles on the left portion of the figure, starting from the bottom-most triangle which is inverted upside down

2) We note that to get to the topmost triangle which is upright , we count four triangles, which is four turns

3) Since the bottom-most triangle is upside down and the topmost triangle, we have made a turn of 180° to go from bottom to top

4) Therefore, the angle of each of the four turns we turned = 180°/4 = 45°

5) When we extend the side of the octagon that bounds the bottom-most triangle to the left to form a straight line, we see the 45° which is the angle formed between the base of the next triangle on the left and the straight line we drew

6) Knowing that the angles on a straight line sum to 180° we get interior angle in between the base of the next triangle on the left referred to above and the base of the bottom-most triangle as 180° - 45° = 135°.
