You divide 820 by 42 and the answer comes out to be 344.4 it has a decimal because it doesn't divide equally
It is D that makes scene

I believe also 115 degrees bc they’re vertical angles
<span>Let x = the width
:
It says,"The length of a rectangle is 4 less than 3 times the width." write that as:
L = 3x - 4
:
If the perimeter is 40, find the dimensions of the rectangle.
:
We know: 2L + 2W = 40
:
Substitute (3x-4) for L and x for W
2(3x-4) + 2x = 40
:
6x - 8 + 2x = 40; Multiplied what's inside the brackets
:
6x + 2x = 40 + 8; do some basic algebra to find x; (added 8 to both sides)
:
8x = 48
:
x = 48/8
:
x = 6 which is the width
:
It said that L = 3x - 4, therefore:
L = 3(6) - 4
L = 18 - 4
L = 14; is the length
:
Check our solutions in the perimeter:
2(14) + 2(6) =
28 + 12 = 40</span>
Fiona is correct- if a shape dilated by a fraction it’s always smaller, unless in the fraction the bigger number is on top. So if it’s more than 1 the shape gets bigger. And if it’s less than one it always gets smaller. Hope this didn’t confuse you even more.
