1 answer:

4 0

ANSWER

The perimeter is 12 inches.

EXPLANATION

The formula for calculating the perimeter of a square is

$P=4l$

Since the magnet is in the form of a square, we can use this formula to find the perimeter of the magnet.

It was given that, each side of the magnet is 3 inches long.

Hence, we have l=3 inches.

We have to substitute l=3 into the formula and simplify.

The perimeter is

$P=4 \times 3= 12in.$

Y varies directly with x, and y = 5 when x = 4. What is the value of x when y = 8?

Tomtit [17]

As y varies directly with x, there is a proportionality constant. As x increases by that certain constant, y also increases. We equate:
y = kx
where k = proportionality constant.
Given the condition, y = 5 when x = 4, then we solve for k:
5 = k(4)
k = 5/4 or 1.25
When y = 8, then
8 = (5/4)(x)
x = 8/(5/4) = (8)(4/5) = 32/5 or 6.4 (ANSWER)

Two sides of a triangle measure 8 cm and 15 cm. Whi[:h could be the length of the third side?

lutik1710 [3]

18 cm is correct .

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of two smaller sides is greater that the largest side.

It is given that the two sides of a triangle measure 8 cm and 15 cm.

Case 1: Let 8 cm and 15 cm. are smaller side. So,

Third side < 8 + 15

Third side < 23

It means 3rd side must be less than 23

Case 2: Let 15 cm is the largest side.

15 < Third side + 8

15 - 8 < Third side

7 < Third side

It means 3rd side must be greater than 7.

Since only 18 is less than 23 and greater than 7, therefore the possible length of third sides is 18 cm and option 2 is correct.
