Find the length and width A= 20 cm2 P= 18cm

Mathematics
1 answer:
Elden [556K]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The length is 5 cm and the width is 4 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

I assume that is a rectangle

Let

x----> the length of rectangle

y ---> the width of rectangle

we know that

The area of rectangle is

A=xy

A=20 cm²

so

20=xy -----> equation A

The perimeter of rectangle is

P=2(x+y)

P=18 cm

so

18=2(x+y)

9=x+y -----> y=9-x ----> equation B

Substitute equation B in equation A and solve for x

20=x(9-x)

20=9x-x²

x²-9x+20=0

Solve the quadratic equation by graphing

The solution is x=5 cm (I assume that the length is greater than the width)

see the attached figure

Find the value of y

y=9-5=4 cm

therefore

The length is 5 cm

The width is 4 cm

Please tell me how do you simplify the expression???? <br> x^15 · y^9<br> over<br> x^8 · y^3
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

x^7 * y^6

Step-by-step explanation:

In the equation: \frac{x^{15} * y^9 }{x^8 * y^3}

x's can be simplified and y's can be simplified!

Always remember that for exponents, you subtract the powers when dividing

so for x: 15-8 = 7

for y: 9-3 = 6

so the final answer is: x^7 * y^6

A fossilized leaf contains 18% of its normal amount of carbon 14. How old is the fossil (to the nearest year)? Use 5600 years as
Sati [7]

Answer: The age of the fossilized leaf is 13829 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{a}{a-x}

where,

k = rate constant  

t = age of sample

a = let initial amount of the reactant = 100

a - x = amount left after decay process = \frac{18}{100}\times 100=18  

a) for completion of half life:  

Half life is the amount of time taken by a radioactive material to decay to half of its original value.

t_{\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{0.693}{k}

k=\frac{0.693}{5600years}=0.00012years^{-1}

b) for finding the age

t=\frac{2.303}{0.00012}\log\frac{100}{18}  

t=13829years

The age of the fossilized leaf is 13829 years.

1+1=3 proof<br> needs step by step explanation
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

1+1=3, See explenation

Step-by-step explanation:

1+1=2 but thats basically 2.1 because whole numbers are boring, but 2.1 is basically 2.2 because we want it as an even number, but 2.2 is basically 2.3 because 2.3 is the luckiest number, which is basically 2.5 if you think about it because 2.3 looks like 2/3 and two thirds can't be a whole (which is why we say 3/3 instead of 2/3) and 2.5 rounded up is 3. So thats how 1+1=3
