The length is 48 inches and width is 10 inches.

Further explanation:

Let L be the length of rectangle and

W be the width of the rectangle

Then

$2L+2W=116\\and\\L=2W+28$

Putting L=2W+28 in first equation

$2L+2W=116\\2(2W+28)+2W=116\\4W+56+2W=116\\6W=116-56\\6W=60\\W=\frac{60}{6}\\W=6\ inches$

Now,

$L=2W+28\\L=2(10)+28\\L=20+28\\L=48\ inches$

Hence the length is 48 inches and width is 10 inches.

Mr. jones has two children. the older child is a girl. what is the probability that both children are girls?

allsm [11]

Since we already know that the older child is a girl (a 100% chance to be a girl), there must be a 50% chance that the other child is a girl. Therefore, the probability that both children are girls is 50%.
Hope this helps!

the length of a rectangle is 4 more than 3 times the width. If the perimeter of the rectangle is 18.4cm, what is the area of the

antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

A = 10.27cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's represent the width as x,

therefore since the length is 4 more than 3 times the width, it can be represent as 3x + 4, Perimeter = 18.4cm

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(L + B)

$18.4= 2(3x+4+x)\\18.4= 6x+8+2x\\18.4-8=6x+2x\\10.4=8x\\x=\frac{10.4}{8}\\x=1.3$

width = 1.3cm

Length = 3x + 4 = 3*1.3 + 4 = 7.9cm

Area of a rectangle = length x width

A = 7.9 * 1.3 = 10.27cm²

The table shows the relationship "Mason rode 15 miles per hour on his bicycle."

Tems11 [23]

The statements which are correct are-

The number of miles increases as time increases.
The number of hours causes a change in the number of miles ridden.
The variable h is the independent variable.

Step-by-step explanation

The above table displays the relationship between the time taken in hours ("h") by Mayon to cover the distance (miles "m").

It means that the distance is dependent on time in hours. Hence, the variable "m" is a dependent variable since it depends on time "h" for which bicycle is being ridden.

Similarly, the variable "h" is an independent variable.

As seen from the table, the value of "m" continuously increases for the value of "h" and thus the number of hours causes a change in the distance ridden.
