A postage stamp is shaped like a rectangle with a perimeter of 88 millimeters. The length (x) is 10 millimeters less than twice

the width (y). The system of equations shown below represents this situation.
x = 2y - 10
2x + 2y = 88

Which statement is true?

Question 4 options:

The width of the stamp is 1 millimeters


The length of the stamp is 36 millimeters


The width of the stamp is 8 millimeters less than the length.


The length of the stamp is 10 millimeters greater than the width

Length = x, width = y

x = 2y - 10....so sub in 2y - 10 for y back in the other equation

2x + 2y = 88
2(2y - 10) + 2y = 88
4y - 20 + 2y = 88
4y + 2y = 88 + 20
6y = 108
y = 108/6
y = 18

x = 2y - 10
x = 2(18) - 10
x = 36 - 10
x = 26

so the length (x) is 26 mm and the width (y) is 18 mm

The width of the stamp is 8 mm less then the length (26 - 18 = 8)

A.)ii. and iii.<br> B.)ii.<br> C.)i.<br> D.)i. and iv.
Vlad [161]
The answer is B) ii

The notation "p --> q" means "if p, then q". For example

p = it rains
q = the grass gets wet

So instead of writing out "if it rains, then the grass gets wet" we can write "p --> q" or "if p, then q". The former notation is preferred in a math class like this. 

So when is the overall statement p --> q false? Well only if p is true leads to q being false. Why is that? It's because p must lead to q being true. The statement strongly implies this. If it rained and the grass didn't get wet, then the original "if...then" statement would be a lie, which is how I think of a logical false statement. 

If it didn't rain (p = false), then the original "if...then" statement is irrelevant. It only applies if p were true. If p is false, then the conditional statement is known to be vacuously true. So this why cases iii and iv are true.

A А<br> С<br> B.<br> ZABC is bisected by BD. If m DBC = 65°,<br> then m ZABC = [?]°<br> Enter
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

m∠ABC = 130°

Step-by-step explanation:

BD is the angle bisector of angle ABC .

Therefore, ∠ABD ≅ ∠DBC

Measure of angle DBC = 65°

Therefore, m∠ABD = m∠DBC = 65°

m∠ABC = m∠ABD + m∠DBC

              = 65° + 65°

              = 130°
