Answer:

6 inches

Explanation:

Area of a rectangle with length, l and breadth, b = <span>l⋅b</span>

Given <span>l=2b+8</span> and <span>A=120</span>

Area A = <span>l⋅b=<span>(2b+8)</span>⋅b=2<span>b2</span>+8b=120</span> =>

<span><span>2<span>b2</span>+8b−120=0</span> =><span><span>b2</span>+4b−60=0</span> =><span><span>b2</span>+10b−6b−60=0</span> =><span>b<span>(b+10)</span>−6<span>(b+10)</span>=0</span> =><span><span>(b−6)</span><span>(b+10)</span>=0</span>; =><span>b=6</span> as b cannot be <span>−10</span>.</span>

Width is 6 inches

L x W = 120
L = 2 x W + 8

(2W + 8) x (W) = 120
2W^2 + 8W = 120
W^2 + 4W - 60 = 0
(W+ 10) x (W-6) = 0
W= -10, 6 
(( shouldn't be negative, so therefore W = 6 ))

The sides of an isosceles triangle are 8, 8, and 3. The measure of the vertex angle to the nearest degree is _____°. 44 17 31 22
Doss [256]
We may draw a vertical that bisects the vertex angle and the shorter side of the triangle, to form a right-triangle with the measurements:
hypotenuse = 8
length = 1.5

We may then apply:
sin(∅) = P / H
sin(∅) = 1.5 / 8
∅ = 10.8 ≈ 11°

This is half of the vertex angle, so the vertex angle is:
11 * 2 = 22°

Leigh has a piece of rope that is 6 2/3 feet long. How do you write 6 2/3 as a fraction greater than 1
aleksley [76]
20/3 - Take the 6 2/3, multiply the 6 and the 3 (6 x 3 = 18), then add the 2 (18 + 2 = 20). Put that number over the original 3 and you've got yourself a mixed number.

Which four inequalities can be used to find the solution to this absolute value inequality?
natita [175]

The four inequalities that can be used to find the solution of 3 ≤ |x + 2| ≤ 6 is x + 2 ≤ 6, x + 2 ≥ -6, x + 2 ≥ 3 and x + 2 ≤ -3

<h3>What is an equation?</h3>

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more variables and numbers.

Given the inequality:

3 ≤ |x + 2| ≤ 6

Hence:

x + 2 ≤ 6, -(x + 2) ≤ 6, 3 ≤ x + 2 and 3 ≤ -(x + 2)

This gives:

x + 2 ≤ 6, x + 2 ≥ -6, x + 2 ≥ 3 and x + 2 ≤ -3

The four inequalities that can be used to find the solution of 3 ≤ |x + 2| ≤ 6 is x + 2 ≤ 6, x + 2 ≥ -6, x + 2 ≥ 3 and x + 2 ≤ -3

Solve 2(y – 3) = 1.2 – y.
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

y = 2.4

Step-by-step explanation:

first distribute into the parenthesis' -

2(y-3) = 1.2 -y

2y - 6 = 1.2 - y

+y                +y

3y -6 = 1.2

   +6     +6

3y = 7.2

/3      /3

y = 2.4

hope this helps!!
