Hello!

To find the perimeter you do 2l + 2w.

l is length
w is width

put in the values we know

2(12) + 2w = 44

Combine like terms

24 + 2w = 44

Subtract 24 from both sides

2w = 20

Divide both sides by 2

w = 10

The answer is 10 meters

Hope this helps!

What the coordinates of the point (-5,1) after 180° rotation about the origin<br> Is it (-1,5)

tatuchka [14]

The mapping rule for a 180 degree rotation is:
(x,y) (-x,-y)

1. Multiply the x-coordinate by -1.
2. Multiply the y-coordinate by -1.
3. SImplify

So the coordinate after a 180 degree rotation is: (5,-1)

Terri wants to make a triangle on her driveway with one side 8ft, one side 17 ft, and one side 8ft. Write an indirect proof to s

Gwar [14]

The third side of a triangle must always be less than the sum of the other 2 sides

here 8 + 8 = 16 and 17 ( the third side ) 17 > 16

Hence this is not a valid triangle
