Answer:

B. 15 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

A rectangle shares two pairs of congruent opposite sides.

Perimeter = 42

Let:

the length of the rectangle = <em>l</em>

the width of the rectangle = <em>w</em> = 6

Perimeter = <em>l </em>+ <em>l </em>+ <em>w</em> + <em>w</em>

Plug in 42 for perimeter &  6 for w in the equation:

42 = <em> l </em> + <em> l</em> + 6 + 6

Combine like terms:

42 = (<em> l </em> + <em> l </em>) + (6 + 6)

42 = 2<em>l</em> + 12

Next, isolate the variable, <em>l</em>. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.  First, subtract 12 from both sides:

42 (-12) = 2<em>l</em> + 12 (-12)

42 - 12 = 2<em>l</em>

30 = 2<em>l</em>

Next, divide 2 from both sides:

(30)/2 = (2<em>l</em>)/2

<em>l</em> = 30/2

<em>l</em> = 15

B. 15 inches is the length of the rectangle.

Check:

<em>l </em>+ <em>l</em> + <em>w </em>+ <em>w </em>= 42

15 + 15 + 6 + 6 = 42

30 + 12 = 42

42 = 42 (True).

Answer:

∫₂³ √(1 + 64y²) dy

Step-by-step explanation:

∫ₐᵇ f(y) dy is an integral with respect to y, so the limits of integration are going to be the y coordinates.  a = 2 and b = 3.

Arc length ds is:

ds = √(1 + (dy/dx)²) dx

ds = √(1 + (dx/dy)²) dy

Since we want the integral to be in terms of dy, we need to use the second one.

ds = √(1 + (8y)²) dy

ds = √(1 + 64y²) dy

Therefore, the arc length is:

∫₂³ √(1 + 64y²) dy

There are 2.54 centimeters in an inch how many inches are in 51.78 centimeters round to the nearest tenths
erik [133]
2.54 cm in 1 inch......how many inches in 51.78 cm...

51.78 / 2.54 = 20.4 inches <==

or this way...
2.54 / 1 = 51.78 / x....2.54 cm to 1 in = 51.78 cm to x inches
cross multiply
(2.54)(x) = 51.78)(1)
2.54x = 51.78
x = 51.78 / 2.54
x = 20.4 inches <==

Help me Please I need it !
evablogger [386]

Answer:

38

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

x = -4

f(x)=x² - 4x +6

so,

f(-4)= (-4)² - 4 . (-4) +6

       =16 +16 +6

        = 38

The area of a circle is 16pi cm2. What is the circle's circumstance?
gavmur [86]
I think you mean circumference...Area is A= \pi  r^{2}. We have the area so we need to use it to solve for the radius which we will then use in the circumference formula.  16 \pi = \pi  r^{2}.  Divide both sides by pi to get \frac{16 \pi }{ \pi } = r^{2}.  Of course the simplification of the left side gives us 16= r^{2} and r = 4.  Now fill that in to the circumference formula, which is C=2 \pi r, to get CC=2 \pi (4) which is a circumference of 8 \pi
