Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

width = w

length = 12 + w

 

Perimeter of rectangle = 2*length + 2*width since perimeter measures the distance around an object.

 

The perimeter of a certain rectangle is 16 times the width means 2 * (12 + w) + 2 *w = 16w

24 + 2w + 2w = 16w

24 + 4w = 16w  subtract 4w from both sides

24 = 12 w  divide both sides by 12

2 = w

 

width = 2 cm

length = 12 + 2 = 14 cm

You have an aquarium in the shape of a rectangular prism. The base is 4 feet by 3 feet. The height is 2 feet. How many square fe
fiasKO [112]
Since it is about only the outer part of the aquarium which is made of glasses we need to calculate the total surface area.

Surface area of the base = 4*3 = 12 square feet

Surface area of the shorter length of wall = 3*2 = 6 square feet
since it has another wall in opposite side. It has to be multiplied with 2.
6*2 = 12 square feet

Surface area of the longer length of wall = 4*2 = 8 square feet
since it has another wall in opposite side. It has to be multiplied with 2.
8*2 = 16 square feet

Therefore the total surface area that need to be covered with glasses
12+12+16 = 40 square feet

A die is loaded so that the number 6 comes up three times as often as any other number. what is the probability of rolling a 1 o
Mila [183]

Answer:

1/2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability totals must add up to 1.

P = probability.

If P(any number other than 6) = x,  then P(6) = 3x, so

3x + 5x = 1

x = 1/8

P(6) = 3/8 and P(not 6) = 1/8

Therefore P(6 or 1) = 3/8 + 1/8 = 1/2 (answer).
