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 = l

the width of the rectangle = w = 6

Perimeter = l + l + w + w

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

42 = l + l + 6 + 6

Combine like terms:

42 = ( l + l ) + (6 + 6)

42 = 2l + 12

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

42 (-12) = 2l + 12 (-12)

42 - 12 = 2l

30 = 2l

Next, divide 2 from both sides:

(30)/2 = (2l)/2

l = 30/2

l = 15

B. 15 inches is the length of the rectangle.

Check:

l + l + w + w = 42

15 + 15 + 6 + 6 = 42

30 + 12 = 42

42 = 42 (True).

Answer:

b.15 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

subtract 12 (2 6inch sides) from the perimeter

get 30 and divide by 2 to get 2 sides

A training field is formed by joining a rectangle and two semicircles, as shown below. The rectangle is 86m long and 64m wide. F

KIM [24]

To solve this problem, we have to find the area of the semi circles and the area of the rectangle and add them up together.

The area of the field is equal to 8719.36m^2

<h3>Area of the Field</h3>

Let us start by finding the area of the rectangle.

Data;

width = 86m
length = 64m

Area of a rectangle is given as

$a = length * width \\a = 86 * 64\\a = 5504m^2\\$

The area of the rectangle is 5504m^2

Area of the semicircle

The formula of a semi circle is given as

$A = \frac{1}{2} \pi r^2$

But since we have two semi circles here, we can simply multiply it by two and the formula becomes

$A = 2 * \frac{1}{2} \pi r^2\\A = \pi r^2$

But in the question, we have the diameter of the semi circle as the length of the rectangle.

$radius = \frac{diameter}{2} \\radius = \frac{64}{2} \\radius = 32m$

The radius of the semicircle is 32m

Area of the semicircle is

$A = \pi r^2\\A = 3.14 * 32^2\\A = 3215.36m^2$

The area of the field is

$area of field = 3215.36 + 5504\\area = 8719.36m^2$

The area of the field is equal to 8719.36m^2

The function f(x) is graphed. It represents a translation of the square root function g(x) = . What equation represents the grap

weqwewe [10]

Using translation concepts, the equation of the graph of f(x) is given as follows:

$f(x) = \sqrt{x - 1}$

<h3>What is a translation?</h3>

A translation is represented by a change in the function graph, according to operations such as multiplication or sum/subtraction in it's definition.

Function f(x) is a shift right of one unit of the square root function, hence x -> x - 1 and the equation is given by:

$f(x) = \sqrt{x - 1}$

A snowboard is on sale for $476. If the

melamori03 [73]

Answer:

15%

Step-by-step explanation:

we call the original price 100% and to find the discount amount :

Multiply 100 by $476 then divide by $560

100 × $476 ÷ $560 = 85

$476 is 85% of the original price therefore the amount of discount as in percentage is 100 - 85 = 15%
