Answer:

length=4

width=30

Step-by-step explanation:

length=x

width=8x-2

(8x-2)*2+2x=68

16x-4+2x=68

18x=72

x=4 (Length)

4*8=32, 32-2=30(width)

Answer:

length=4 cm

Width=30 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello, I am glad I can help you with this.

Step one

define the equations

the perimeter of a rectangle is given by:

Perimeter=2*length+2*width

Let

Perimeter (P)

length(L)

Width(W)

P=2L+2W

68=2L+2W,equation (1)

The width of a rectangle is 2 cm less than 8 times the length, in other words, you can take the width and add 2 cm to find 8 times the length,in mathematical terms it is

W+2=8L, isolating W

W=8L-2,equation (2)

Step two

use equation (1) and equation (2) to find L and W

replace W from equation (2) into equation (1)

68=2L+2(8L-2)

68=2L+16L-4

68=18L-4

isolating L

68+4=18L

72/18=L

L=4 cm

replace the value of L in equation (2)

W=8L-2

W=8(4 )-2

W=32-2

W=30 cm

Hence,

length=4 cm

Width=30 cm

Have a good day.

A bicycle wheel with radius 30cm made 1000 revolutions. What distance did it cover?​
Inga [223]

The distance covered by bicycle is 1.885 km.

What is distnace?

Distance is a measurement of how far apart two things or points are, either numerically or occasionally qualitatively. Distance can refer to a physical length in physics or to an estimate based on other factors in ordinary language.

Given:  A bicycle wheel with radius 30cm made 1000 revolutions.

We have to find the total distance covered by bicycle.

First to find the circumference of the bicycle wheel.

Circumference = 2πr

where, r is the radius.

Here r = 30.

So,

Circumference = 2 x π x 30 = 60π

Now to find the total distance,

D = circumference x number of revolutions.

D = 60π x 1000

D = 188,495.5592 cm

D = 188,495.5592 /1000 km

D = 1.88 km

Therefore, the distance covered by bicycle is, 1.885 km.

Tony flips a coin and gets heads. He tells his friend that he can get heads two more times in a row .what is the probability tha
Sergio [31]

Answer:

The probability is 1/8 or 0.125

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are concerned with calculating the probability that when a coin is flipped there would be a show of heads three times.

In flipping of a coin, there are only two possible results with equal probability. The probability of both events i.e P(H) and P(T) is equal and that is 1/2

Thus the probability of getting heads three times in a row will be P(HHH) meaning P(H) and another P(H) and another P(H)

When we have and in a probability question, that means we are to multiply the probabilities together.

Hence, P(HHH) = 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/8
