Answer:

The width can be 5 ft   or the width can be 4 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter = 2 (l+w)  for a rectangle

Area = l*w for a rectangle

Using perimeter

18 = 2(l+w)

Divide by 2

18/2 = 2/2 (l+w)

9 = l+w

Solving for l

9-w = l

Using area

20 = l*w

Substituing for l

20 = (9-w) * w

20 = 9w - w^2

Subtract 20 from each side

20-20 =-w^2 +9w -20

0 = -w^2 +9w -20

Multiply by -1

0 = w^2 -9w+20

Factor

0 = (w-5) (w-4)

Using the zero product property

w-5 = 0   w-4 = 0

w= 5   w=4

The width can be 5 ft   or the width can be 4 ft

el triangulo que forma el radio es un triangulo equilátero y por lo tanto el lado del hexágono sera  de la misma medida que el radio:

lado = radio = 2 cm

como hay 6 lados, lo multiplicamos por 6 :

2x6 = 12 cm

entonces el perímetro del hexágono es 12 cm

On field day, Breanna long jumped 62 inches, Myquisha jumped 5 feet 4 inches, and Ariana jumped 1 yard, 2 feet, 7 inches. Which
ella [17]
Let’s convert all their jumps into inches.

Breanna’s is already in inches (62)

Myquisha jumped 5 feet 4 inches
There are 12 inches in a foot, so

5 feet * 12 inches= 60 inches

Then add the 4 inches
60+4= 64
So Myquisha jumped 64 inches.


Ariana jumped 1 yard, 2 feet, 7 inches

1 yard is equal to 3 feet.

So, she jumped 5 feet 7 inches

12 inches in a foot, so
5*12=60 inches

Add the 7
60+7= 67 inches

So Breanna jumped 62, Myquisha 64 and Ariana 67

In order of shortest to longest:

Breanna, Myquisha, Ariana
