The formula for perimeter is P = 2length + 2width (P = 2L + 2W)
You know that the length is 4 more yards then twice the width. In equation form this would be:
length = 4 + 2w
Plug what you know into the perimeter formula:
26 = 2(4 + 2w) + 2w
First you must distribute the 2 to the numbers inside the parentheses, which would be 4 and 2w...
26 = (2 * 4) + (2 * 2w) + 2w
26 = 8 + 4w + 2w
Now you must combine like terms. This means that first numbers with the same variables (w) must be combined...
26 = 8 + 4w + 2w
4w + 2w = 6w
26 = 8 + 6w
Now bring 8 to the left side by subtracting 8 to both sides (what you do on one side you must do to the other). Since 8 is being added on the right side, subtraction (the opposite of addition) will cancel it out (make it zero) from the right side and bring it over to the left side.
26 - 8 = 8 - 8 + 6w
18 = 0 + 6w
18 = 6w
To isolate w divide 6 to both sides
18 / 6 = 6w / 6
w = 3
We know that the width is 3 ft
Now you must find the length. To do this plug 3 where you see w in the equation:
length = 4 + 2w
l = 4 + 2(3)
l = 4 + 6
l = 10
We know that length is 10 ft
Letter B. is the correct answer
Hope this helped!

If 1.5 and 2.5 are the height and base, then just use Pythagorean theorem,
X + y = 17
x - y = 29
x = 17 - y
x - y = 29
x = 17 - y
17 - y - y = 29
x = 17 - y
17 - 2y = 29
x = 17 - y
- 2y = 29 - 17
x = 17 - y
-2y = 12
x = 17 - y
y = -6
x = 17 - (-6)
y = -6
x = 17 + 6
y = -6
x = 23
y = -6
Answer:
15.866%
Step-by-step explanation:
We solve using z score formula
z = (x-μ)/σ, where
x is the raw score = 3,282 gallons of kerosene
μ is the population mean = 3,087 gallons of kerosene
σ is the population standard deviation = 195 gallons
For x > 3282 gallons
z = 3282 - 3087/195
z = 1
Probability value from Z-Table:
P(x<3282) = 0.84134
P(x>3282) = 1 - P(x<3282) = 0.15866
Converting to percentage
0.15866 × 100 = 15.866%
The percent of flights on these particular routes that will burn more than 3,282 gallons of kerosene is 15.866%
