Answer:

There are a ton of answers. For instance, 1m by 159m.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the area is a=l*w, where l and w are constants.

The formula for perimeter is p=2l+2w

The question wants another rectangle that has the same perimeter, but a smaller area.

The perimeter of the two fields has to be:

p=(2*95)+(2*65)\\p=190+130\\p=320

Thankfully, the question never specified how much smaller the area has to be. So let's go to the logical extreme and make it 1 meter wide. To conserve the perimeter, we'd have to add the removed 64 meters to the original 95 meters of length, resulting in a rectangle with a width of 1m and a length of 159m. This results in an area of exactly 159 m^{2}. The original rectangle had an area of 6175m^{2}. Mission accomplished!

But why stop there? Let's go even further down this rabbit hole!

Instead of 1, why don't we take it several steps further and use 0.0000001? At that point, the length would end up being  159.9999999m.

The area would be 0.00001599999999 m^{2}.

Let's go further!!

Width: 0.00000000000000000001

Length: 159.99999999999999999999

Area: 0.00000000000000000001599999999999999999999 (approximate).

One more, for old time's sake.

Width: 0.00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001m

Length: 159.99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999m

Area: 0.00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000015999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 m^{2}

At that point, there's so little area in the plot of land that you could claim it has no area!

USPshnik [31]
<h3>Answer:   55</h3>

==============================================

The 125 degree angle and angle 6 are supplementary. This is because of the same side interior angles theorem.

Let x be the measure of angle 6. Add this to 125, set the sum equal to 180, and solve for x.

x+125 = 180

x = 180-125

x = 55

------------

Or you could approach it this way:

y = measure of angle 2

y+125 = 180

y = 55

angle 6 = angle 2 (corresponding angles)

angle 6 = 55 degrees

-------------

Yet another way you could solve:

z = measure of angle 3

z+125 = 180

z = 55

angle 6 = angle 3 (alternate interior angles)

angle 6 = 55 degrees

A similar approach using alternate interior angles would involve angle 5 = 125, and then noticing that x+125 = 180 solves to x = 55

Over [174]

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

She has everything correct but one thing. In order to have her answer correct, she must put the 9 in front of the 7 because the bigger number needs to go in front.
