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.

Abdullah earns $10 an hour delivering newspapers on his bicycle . He started with $20 in his bank account. what is the rate and

elixir [45]

Explanation:

The equation for this problem can be modeled in y = mx + b form.

m represents the rate of change and b represents the initial value or constant.

y = 10x + 20

x represents the number of hours he spent delivering newspapers

y is his total money after whatever number of hours he worked

The rate is 10, because it determines how much money he earns for each hour.

The y-intercept is 20, representing the starting amount of money in his bank account.

Which three-dimensional figure has half the number of vertices as the rectangular prism?

GuDViN [60]

1. The rectangular prism is a right prism with rectangular bases (check the picture)

2. It has 8 vertices, so we are looking for 3d figures with 4 vertices.

3. A face can have at least 3 vertices, and the 4th must be outside of the plane determined by the first 3 vertices. This makes 4 vertices in total.

4. The 3d figure described in step 3 is a pyramid.

A mini basketball court has an area of 500

aivan3 [116]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let x,y be the sides of court.

2(x+y)=90

x+y=90/2=45

y=45-x

xy=500

x(45-x)=500

45x-x²=500

x²-45x+500=0

x²-25x-20x+500=0

x(x-25)-20(x-25)=0

(x-25)(x-20)=0

x=25,20

when x=25

y=45-x=45-25=20

when x=20

y=45-20=25

sides are 25 ft,20 ft.

A line with slope 3 passes through the point (0,10). What is the y-coordinate of the point on the line with x-coordinate 2?

lana [24]

Hello!

So to find the y-coordinate we need an equation for the line. The equation we can use is

y = mx + b

In this we already know m(the slope which is 3) and we can find b by plugging in the points that are given.

10 = 3(0) + b
10 = 0 + b
10 = b

So now that we've found b, we can use this in our equation

y = 4x + b

So now we can plug in the x-coordinate that we know (2) and find the y - coordinate.

y = 4(2) + 10
y = 8 + 10
y = 18

18 is your y-coordinate
