Given:

Carrie has 180 ft of the fencing and wishes the fence to be 4times as long as it is wide.

To Find:

The area in square feet that the fencing encloses.

Answer:

The fence encloses 3600 sq ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x denote the length of the dog run and y denote the width of the dog run.

Given that the garage wall serves as one side of the dog run, we are left with 3 other sides to instal the fence.

Carrie has 180ft of fencing with her, so the sum of the lengths of the 3 sides has to be equal to 180. We can represent this in the form of an equation as

x+y+y=180\\\\x+2y=180\\\\x=180-2y

We are also given that Carrie wishes the fence to be 4 times as long as it is wide.

So,

x=4y

Replacing this value into the first equation, we have

4y=180-2y\\\\
6y=180\\\\
y=30

Therefore,

x=(4)(30)=120

Thus, the length of the dog run is 120ft and the width is 30ft.

The area enclosed will be equal to the length multiplied with the width. So,

(120)(30)=3600

The fence encloses 3600 sq ft.

If the standard volume of a
Alla [95]

Answer:

6.7 %

which agrees with answer A in your list.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the standard volume is 1.5 cubic cm, and the measured volume is 1.6 cubic cm, then the difference between these two is :

1.6 - 1.5 = 0.1 cubic cm. and therefore the percentage error is given by:

0.1/1.5 = 0.066666...which corresponds to a rounding of 6.7%

Recall as well that percent error is always expressed as a positive number.

Simplify. Your answer should contain only positive exponents.
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

7.

2y² * 3x = 6xy²

8.

4v³ * vu²

= 4 \times 1 \times (v^{3+1})( u^2)

= 4v⁴u²

9.

4a³b² * 3a⁻⁴b⁻³

= 4 \times 3 \times a^{(3+(-4))} \times b ^{(2+(-3))}

= 12a⁻¹b⁻¹

= \dfrac{1}{12ab}

10.

x²y⁻⁴ * x³y²

= x^{2+3}y^{(-4)+2}

= x^{5}y^{-2}

= x^{5} \times \dfrac{1}{y^{2}}

11.

(x²)⁰ = 1

12.

(2x²)⁻⁴

= (2^{-4} \times x^2^{(-4)})

= \dfrac{1}{16x^8}
