2w + 2l = 25

2 * 2 + 2l = 25

Simplfiy.

4 + 2l = 25

Subtract 4 from both sides.

2l = 21

Divide both sides by 2.

l = 10.5

Now that we have the value of l, we can find the area.

A = lw

A = 10.5 * 2

A = 21.

The length is 10.5cm.

The area of the rectangle is 21cm^2

Candice spent 5 1/4 hours doing her homework. Her brother, Ronald, spent 1/2 that number of hours doing his homework. How many h

Elden [556K]

Let

x-----> the number of hours that Candice spent doing her homework

y-----> the number of hours that Ronald spent doing his homework

we know that

$x=5\frac{1}{4}\ hours$

convert mixed number to an improper fraction

$5\frac{1}{4}\ hours=\frac{5*4+1}{4}= \frac{21}{4}\ hours$

$x=\frac{21}{4}\ hours$ -------> equation A

$y=\frac{1}{2}x$ ------> equation B

Substitute equation A in equation B

$y=\frac{1}{2}*\frac{21}{4}=\frac{21}{8}\ hours$

convert an improper fraction to a mixed number

$\frac{21}{8}\ hours=2.625=2+0.625=2+\frac{5}{8}=2\frac{5}{8}\ hours$

therefore

the answer is the option B

$2\frac{5}{8}\ hours$

The slope-intercept form of the equation of a line that passes through point (-2, -13) is y = 54 -3. What is the point slope

dangina [55]

Answer:

$y+13=5(x+2)$

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct question is

The slope-intercept form of the equation of a line that passes through point (-2, -13) is y = 5x -3. What is the point slope form of the equation for this line?

we have

$y=5x-3$

This is the equation of the line in slope intercept form

where

the slope is $m=5$

the y-intercept is $b=-3$

Remember that

The equation of the line in point-slope form is equal to

$y-y1=m(x-x1)$

we have

$m=5$

$point\ (-2,-13)$

substitute

$y-(-13)=5(x-(-2))$

$y+13=5(x+2)$

What is the diameter of a cone with height 8 m and volume 150 m3 ? (1 point 7.5 m 15 m?

Hitman42 [59]

This is the concept of volume of solid materials, we are required to find the diameter of cone with height 8 and volume 150 m^3.
volume of cone is given by;V=1/3 (pi*r^2*h)
making r^2 the subject we get;
V/(pi*h)=r^2
inserting the values in our formula we get:
150/(pi*8)=r^2
r^2=5.97
thus;
r=sqrt(5.97)=2.44
But ;
diameter=2*radius
thus
diameter=2.44*2
=4.88 m
