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:

(6, - 4 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

\frac{x}{4} - \frac{3}{8} y = 3 → (1)

\frac{5}{3} x - \frac{y}{2} = 12 → (2)

Multiply (1) by 8 and (2) by 6 to clear the fractions

2x - 3y = 24 → (3)

10x - 3y = 72 → (4)

Rearrange (3) expressing - 3y in terms of x by subtracting 2x from both sides

- 3y = 24 - 2x

Substitute 3y = 24 - 2x into (4)

10x + 24 - 2x = 72, that is

8x + 24 = 72 ( subtract 24 from both sides )

8x = 48 ( divide both sides by 8 )

x = 6

Substitute x = 6 in either (3) or (4) and solve for y

Substituting in (3)

2(6) - 3y = 24

12 - 3y = 24 ( subtract 12 from both sides )

- 3y = 12 ( divide both sides by - 3 )

y = - 4

Solution is (6, - 4 )

||<br> Area of a regular polygon
ELEN [110]

Answer:

The area of any regular polygon is given by the formula: Area = (a x p)/2, where a is the length of the apothem and p is the perimeter of the polygon. Plug the values of a and p in the formula and get the area. As an example, let's use a hexagon (6 sides) with a side (s) length of 10.
