Answer:

$P = 74\ meters$

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition the perimeter of a rectangle is the sum of the lengths of its 4 sides.

The formula for calculating the perimeter of a rectangle is as follows:

$P = 2w + 2l$

Where P is the perimeter, w is the width and l is the length.

In this case we want to find P and we know that:

$w =16\ meters$

$l =21\ meters$

Therefore:

$P = 2(16) + 2(21)$

$P = 32 + 42$

$P = 74\ meters$

Answer: x^2-9x+1

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2-7x-7 d(x-1)

(you would just replace x to (x-1)

(x-1)^2-7(x-1)-7

(solve by square rooting (x-1)(x-1) then foil)

x^2-9x+1

A student says that the x-intercept of a line is (0,-10,). Is the student correct? Explain.

nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

Yes, the student is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$(0,-10)$

Required

Does it represent the x intercept

At the x intercept, the value of x is 0.

So, the function $(x,y)$ becomes $(0,y)$

$(0,-10)$ can be compared to $(0,y)$

Hence, the student is correct

Line b passes through points (5, 5) and (10, 8). Line c passes through points (4, 8) and (1, 13). Are line b and line c parallel

lora16 [44]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In going from (5, 5) to (10, 8), x (the run) increases by 5 and y (the rise) increases by 3. Thus, the slope of the line connecting the first two points is m = 3/5.

In going from (1, 13) to (4, 8), x (the run) increases by 3 and y (the rise) decreases by 5. Thus, the slope of the line connecting the first two points is m = -5/3

Because these results are negative reciprocals of one another, the two lines are PERPENDICULAR to one another.
