Answer:

length=25 width=17

Step-by-step explanation:

l+w=42

start by guessing a pair of numbers that equals 42 i chose 22+20

since these two numbers are 2 digits apart,

5-2=3

now we have to add 3 to 22 and subtract 3 from 20

now it is 25+17 which still equals 42

Given two central angles in any two circles, the ratio of the arc length to the radius of each corresponding circle is equal if

krok68 [10]

First, we have
s1/r1 = s2/r2

The question also states the fact that
s/2πr = θ/360°

Rearranging the second equation, we have
s/r = 2πθ/360°

Then we substitute it to the first equation
s1/r1 = 2πθ1/360°
s2/r2 = 2πθ2/360°

which is now
2πθ1/360° = 2πθ2/360°

By equating both sides, 2π and 360° will be cancelled, therefore leaving
θ1 = θ2

Area & perimeter of rectangles word problems

nordsb [41]

Answer:

A. 6 m by 6 m

Step-by-step explanation:

You can try the different choices to see which has the largest area. Of course, the area is the product of the dimensions:

6 m × 6 m = 36 m² . . . . largest area

10 m × 2 m = 20 m²

8 m × 4 m = 32 m²

The largest area is that of a square, 6 m by 6 m. (choice A)

Graph this equation y=7/2x-2

Ludmilka [50]

To find the slope and y intercept, use the y=mx+b formula where m is the slope and b is the y intercept.
y=mx+b

Pull the values of m and b using the y=mx+b formula.
m=7/2,b=−2 where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept
