You are helping your dad build a rectangular dog park. The length of the dog park in feet can be represented by 8 + 2 and the wi

dth in feet can be represented by 2 − 12. If your dad bought 160 feet of fencing (perimeter), what is the length of the dog park and what is the width of the dog park?

Answer:

74 feet and 6 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Mentioned that

The  Length of the dog park is = (8x + 2)............(i)

And,

The Width of the park is = (2x -12)..................(ii)

Perimeter = 160 feet

Now here we use the perimeter formula which is

Perimeter is

= 2 (length + width)

160 = 2 (8x + 2 + 2x - 12)

160 = 2 (10x - 10)

160 = 20x - 20

180 = 20x

x = 9

Now put the x value into the equation 1 and equaton 2

For the equaton 1, the length us

= 8x + 2

= 8(9) + 2

= 74 feet

And, the width is

= 2x - 12

= 2(9) - 12

= 18 - 12

= 6 feet

8. Write the equation of the line that is parallel to the line 2x + 5y = 15 and passes through the
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

\sf y = \bold -\frac{2}{5} x -3

Explanation:

part A identification for slope:

\sf 2x + 5y = 15

\sf 5y = -2x + 15

\sf y = \frac{-2x + 15}{5}

\sf y = -\frac{2 }{5} x+3

comparing with slope intercept form: y = mx + b

we can find that here the slope is \bold -\frac{2}{5}

part B, solving the equation:

if the line is parallel, then the slope will be same.

given coordinates: ( - 10, 1 )

using the equation:

y - y₁ = m( x - x₁ )

\sf y - 1 = \bold -\frac{2}{5} (x --10)

\sf y = \bold -\frac{2}{5} x -4 + 1

\sf y = \bold -\frac{2}{5} x -3

Extra information:

check the image below. this proves that the line is parallel and passes through point (-10, 1). the blue line is question line and red the answer line.

Guys help me with a) and b) tasks<br>ANSWER:<br>a) 40<br>b) 25<br>Thanks&lt;3​
umka21 [38]

Step-by-step explanation:

there are 2 similar triangles : ABE and DCE

that means they have the same angles, and the scaling factor from one triangle to the other is the same for every side.

and that means that

DE/AE = EC/BE (= DC/AB)

we know that

AE = AD + DE

BE = BC + EC

a.

so, we have actually

DE/(AD+DE) = EC/(BC+EC)

DE/(10+DE) = 8/(2+8) = 8/10 = 4/5

DE = 4(10+DE)/5

5DE = 4(10+DE) = 40 + 4DE

DE = 40 cm

b.

AD/DE = 3/5

BC/EC must be 3/5 too.

15/EC = 3/5

15 = 3EC/5

75 = 3EC

EC = 25 cm

Which represents the inverse of the function f(x) = 4x?
Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

The inverse is 1/4x

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 4x

To find the inverse, exchange x and y

x = 4y

Solve for y

1/4 x = 4y/4

1/4x = y

The inverse is 1/4x = y
