Let w and l be the length and height of the rectangle.

We know that:

\begin{cases}l = 2w-5\\2(l+w)=26\end{cases}

Substitute the first equation in the second:

2(l+w)=26 \iff l+w=13 \iff 2w-5+w=13 \iff 3w = 18 \iff w=6

Use the first equation to compute the length:

l=2\times 6 - 5 = 12-5=7

So, length = 7 cm; width = 6 cm

Aisha and jordan start by making a floor plan for their treehouWhich revision of these two sentences best shows that the coach b
irina1246 [14]

Answer: Statements 1 and 2 shows that the coach blowing the whistle happened first.

Step-by-step explanation: The coach blowing the whistle as the first event can be seen only from statements 1 and 2 only.

From statement 1, "the referee blew the whistle" was followed by "the team ran onto the field."

From statement 2, "before the team ran onto the field" shows clearly that one event took place "BEFORE" the one being reported and the one that occurred before this one was "the referee blew the whistle."

Statement 3 which is "the referee blew the whistle, BUT..." indicates that the whistle was meant to prevent the team from from running onto the field. So if the referee blew the whistle, but the team ran onto the field, it means the whistle blowing was not supposed to make them run onto the field.

Statement 4, which states that "the referee blew the whistle BECAUSE the team ran onto the field" indicates that, the reason for blowing the whistle was because the team ran onto the field which clearly shows that the team ran onto the field first before the referee blew the whistle.

Statement 5, "WHILE the team ran onto the field..." clearly shows that both events took place at the same moment, and so the referee blowing the whistle could not have occurred first.

Why do you multiply by a power of 10 when writing a repeating decimal as a rational number
stira [4]
1.28 = 128 * 10^-2

128 * (1/10^2)

128 / 10^2

128 / 100

1.28


Because, it's literally the same thing mathematically if you worked it out. Though, as I'm sure you're aware, it's just a much shorter and cleaner way of writing out large or small numbers.
