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

Which of the following equations could be solved for a radius? Select all that apply.

Answer:

A = π · (r²)

Step-by-step explanation:

$A =$ π · r² is the area of a circle.

While π · r² · h can also give you the radius, it can only do so for the Volume $V$ , not the Area $A$ .

$V=lwh$ doesn't really apply for a circular object, as it requires the length and width. For circular objects, both are equal to the diameter of the object, and 2² · r² · h does not equal the Volume.

$V=$ π · r³ seems awfully like the volume of a sphere, but there's something missing. The true volume of a sphere is $V=\frac{4}{3}$ · π · r³, not $V=$ π · r³.
