Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

P = 2(L + W)

P = 56

L = 12

now sub...we are looking for w

56 = 2(12 + W)

56 = 24 + 2W

56 - 24 = 2W

32 = 2W

32/2 = W

16 = W <==== the width is 16 inches

check...

P = 2(L + W)

56 = 2(12 + 16)

56 = 2(28)

56 = 56 (correct)

Karl is building a rectangular garden bed. The length is 6 feet. She has 20 feet of boards to make the sides. Write and solve an
natali 33 [55]

Answer:

The width of the garden bed must be less than or equal to 4 feet.

w\leq4

Explanation:

Given that;

She has 20 feet of boards to make the sides.

The perimeter of the garden bed must not be more than 20 feet

\begin{gathered} P=2l+2w\leq20 \\ 2l+2w\leq20 \end{gathered}

Given;

The length is 6 feet;

l=6

To get the inequality for the width w, let us substitute the value of the length into the inequality above and simplify;

\begin{gathered} 2l+2w\leq20 \\ 2(6)+2w\leq20 \\ 12+2w\leq20 \\ 2w\leq20-12 \\ 2w\leq8 \\ \frac{2w}{2}\leq\frac{8}{2} \\ w\leq4 \end{gathered}

Therefore, the width of the garden bed must be less than or equal to 4 feet.

w\leq4

Which choices name a chord of circle F? Choose all answers that are correct. A. AD B. BE C. CF D. DF?
Natalka [10]
I have encountered this problem before. The figure gave out 3 chords, 2 of which are diameters, and 1 radius.

A chord is a line segment that joins any two points on a circle. 

A diameter is the longest chord on a circle. It originates at one side of the circle, passes through the middle point of the circle, and end on another side of the circle.

The chords in the figure area: AD, BE, and DE. AD and BE are diameters, they pass through F.

Among the choices: A.) AD and B.) BE are the chords.

CF and DF are radii. They only end up in the middle point of the circle.
