Rational: can be expressed as a fraction of two integers x/y

Irrational: An irrational number can be written as a decimal, but not as a fraction.

Answer:

$4(2n+2.5)$ yards.

$8n+10$ yards.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that a square playground is surrounded by a sidewalk on all sides. The sidewalk is $2n+3$ yards long on each side of the park.

Since side walk is 0.5 yard wide, so each side of playground will be 0.5 less than each side of sidewalk.

$\text{Length of each side of playground}=\text{Length of each side of sidewalk - Width of sidewalk}$

$\text{Length of each side of playground}=2n+3-0.5$

$\text{Length of each side of playground}=2n+2.5$

Since playground is square, so perimeter of playground will be 4 times the length of each side of playground.

$\text{Perimeter of playground}=4(2n+2.5)$

Upon distributing 4 we will get,

$\text{Perimeter of playground}=8n+10$

Therefore, perimeter of playground will be $4(2n+2.5)$ yards or $8n+10$ yards.

Line K has a slope of 3. Line J is perpendicular to like K and passes through the point (3,8). Type the equation of the line in

hichkok12 [17]

I'm assuming you are finding the equation of the line of Line J

Slope-intercept form: y = mx + b

[m is the slope, b is the y-intercept or the y value when x = 0 --> (0, y) or the point where the line crosses through the y-axis]

For lines to be perpendicular, the slopes have to be negative reciprocals of each other. (basically changing the sign (+/-) and flipping the fraction/switching the numerator and the denominator)

For example:

slope = 2 or $\frac{2}{1}$
