The perimeter of a rectangle is twice the sum of length and width, so the sum of length and width is half the perimeter, 10 3/4 ft.

The width will be the difference between this and the length, hence 5 1/2 ft.

The area is the product of length and width.
  A = length×width
  A = (5.25 ft)×(5.5 ft) = 28.875 ft²

The area of the sandbox is 28 7/8 ft².

How do you solve <br> -178=-5x+4(-4x-13)
Effectus [21]

Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

  • <em><u>Pull out like factors: </u></em>

-4x - 13  =   -1 • (4x + 13)

  • <em><u>Equation at the end of step 2: </u></em>

 -178 -  (-5x +  -4 • [4x + 13] )  = 0

  • <em><u>Pull out like factors: </u></em>

  21x - 126  =   21 • (x - 6)

  • <em><u>Equation at the end of step 4: </u></em>

 21 • (x - 6)  = 0

  • <em><u>Solve:</u></em>

x-6 = 0  

  • <em><u>Add 6 to both sides of the equation:</u></em>

x = 6

Which function has x-intercepts of 3 and 8 and contains the point (–1, –2)?
mojhsa [17]
This is how you do it.

y = a(x - 3)(x - 8) 
<span>-2 = a(-1 - 3)(-1 - 8) </span>
<span>-2 = 36a </span>
<span>- 1 / 18 = a </span>
<span>y = ( - 1 / 18)(x^2 - 11x + 24) </span>
<span>y = (- 1 / 18)x^2 + (11 / 18)x - (3 / 2)
</span>

8_murik_8 [283]
No; just because there is a correlation does not prove causation. 

The correlation says that as the amount of rainfall increases, the amount of oranges produced increases as well.  It does not state what causes it.
