Answer:

l = 2 1/2 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Area is given by the formula

A = l*w

We know the area is 8 1/2

Changing this to an improper fraction 8 1/2 = (2*8 +1)/2 = 17/2

The width is 3 2/5 as an improper fraction = (5*3+2)/5 = 17/5

A = l*w

17/2 = l* 17/5

Multiply each side by 5/17

17/2 * 5/17 = l* 17/5 * 5/17

5/2 = l

2 1/2 = l

Answer:

l = 2.5 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

A = lb

8.5 = l * 3 2/5

8.5 = l * 3.4

l = 8.5 / 3.4

l = 2.5 <u>feet</u> <u>(</u>Always remember to put the units, otherwise you may not get points.)

Choose the midpoint of the line segment with endpoints at (5, 9) and (11, 15).

Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

C) (8,12)

Step-by-step explanation:

$MP= (\frac{x_1+x_2}{2} )(\frac{y_1+y_2}{2} )\\MP= (\frac{5+11}{2} )(\frac{9+15}{2} )\\MP= (\frac{16}{2} )(\frac{24}{2} )\\MP= (8,12)$

Given right triangle ABC. To the nearest degree, find the measure of angle B.

DedPeter [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the length of AC which is opposite angle B; we also have the length of the hypotenuse. We will use trig here to solve for angle B. The sin ratio is the one that fits.

sin(B) = side opposite / hypotenuse:

$sin(B)= \frac{ 4.8}{ 5.1}$ so

sin(B) = .9411764706

Now we will use the 2nd button on our calculators. This will give us the missing angle value. Press 2nd then sin and you will see on your screen:

$sin^{-1 ($

Enter that decimal after the open parenthesis and hit "enter" to get

B = 70.25 or 70°
