Answer:

length = 24, width = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the length and width of the first rectangle w + 15 and w respectively. This means that the length and width of the second rectangle is (w + 15) - 2 and w + 5 respectively. Since the perimeter of the second rectangle is 72, we can write:

2 * ((w + 15) - 2 + w + 5) = 72 because perimeter = 2 * (length + width)

(w + 15) - 2 + w + 5 = 36 (Divide by 2)

2w + 18 = 36 (Combine like terms)

2w = 18 (Subtract 18)

w = 9 (Divide by 2)

This means that the length and width are 24 and 9.

An angle measures 88° more than the measure of a complementary angle. what is the measure of each angle?
aleksandrvk [35]
Let one angle be x
Let second angle be 88+x
Sum of two complementary angles = 90°
x+ 88+ x = 90°
2x + 88 = 90
2x  = 90 - 88 = 2
x = 2/2 = 1

First angle = x = 1°
Second angle = 88 + x = 88+1 = 89°
I hope it is helpful:D

Billy says that he can add 23 and 40 without regrouping is Bill correct how do you know
bija089 [108]
Yes he is correct because if you do the algorithm, 0+3=3 and 20+40=60 and 60+3=63. There is no regrouping needed.

If an ambulance has an average speed of 0.83 miles per minute and an average response time of 8 minutes, what is the average dis
Mrac [35]

Answer: The average distance the ambulance travels to reach an emergency situation is 6.64 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to apply the speed formula:

Speed rate = distance / time  

Replacing with the values given:

0.83 miles per minute  = d / 8 minutes

Solving for d (distance)

0.83 mpm x 8 m =d

d =6.64 miles

The average distance the ambulance travels to reach an emergency situation is 6.64 miles.

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.
