Answer:

The length is 6 feet and the width is 4 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the length of the yard

The width can be represented by x - 2, since it is 2 less than the length.

Use the perimeter formula, P = 2l + 2w, where l is the length and w is width

Plug in the expressions and perimeter:

20 = 2x + 2(x - 2)

Solve for x:

20 = 2x + 2x - 4

20 = 4x - 4

24 = 4x

6 = x

So, the length is 6. Plug this into x - 2 to find the width

x - 2

6 - 2

= 4

So, the length is 6 feet and the width is 4 feet

Find the volume of the wedge-shaped region contained in the cylinder x2 + y2 = 49, bounded above by the plane z = x and below by

$\displaystyle\iiint_R\mathrm dV=\int_{y=-7}^{y=7}\int_{x=-\sqrt{49-y^2}}^{x=0}\int_{z=x}^{z=0}\mathrm dz\,\mathrm dx\,\mathrm dy$

Converting to cylindrical coordinates, the integral is equivalent to

$\displaystyle\iiint_R\mathrm dV=\int_{\theta=\pi/2}^{\theta=3\pi/2}\int_{r=0}^{r=7}\int_{z=r\cos\theta}^{z=0}r\,\mathrm dz\,\mathrm dr\,\mathrm d\theta$
$=\displaystyle\int_{\theta=\pi/2}^{\theta=3\pi/2}\int_{r=0}^{r=7}-r^2\cos\theta\,\mathrm dr\,\mathrm d\theta$
$=-\displaystyle\left(\int_{\theta=\pi/2}^{3\pi/2}\cos\theta\,\mathrm d\theta\right)\left(\int_{r=0}^{r=7}r^2\,\mathrm dr\right)$
$=\dfrac{2\times7^3}3=\dfrac{686}3$

Pls help I don’t understand

dmitriy555 [2]

The answer is c. $\frac{46}{9}$

a. $\frac{11}{5}=2.2$ (2.2≠5.11) (2.2 is not equal to 5.11)

b. $5\frac{1}{8}=\frac{5}{8}$ or 0.625 (0.625≠5.11) (0.625 is not equal to 5.11)

c. $\frac{46}{9} =5.11$ (5.11=5.11) (5.11 is equal to 5.11)

Therefore c is the answer

Can someone answer plz

1.D 2. A 3.C 4.D

1 Is the monomial as it only contains one expression.

2. Is the difference of squares because something squared minus something squared.

3. Is standard because it is of the form

$a_nx^n+ a_{n-1}x^{n-1}+...+a_1x+a_0$

4. We know D is the not the monomial simply because its power is negative which means it does not fit the definition of a polynomial.

Kenny likes to count his money by tiling it on his table as shown. The diameter of a quarter is 24.26 mm. Find the area of the t

ElenaW [278]

First we have to assume that each quarter touched each other. Hence the area of the table not covered by the coins (A) is equal to the total area of the table (At) minus the total area of the coins (Ac). Coins are circle, so $A = \pi r^{2}$ and r =24.26mm. The area of one coin is then 1848.98mm^2. Hence the equation is A = At - xAc where x is the number of coins.
