The length and width of the given rectangle are 52 ft and 48 ft respectively.

<h3>Solution:</h3>

The relationship between the length and breadth is given as following:

The length is 4 more feet than the width

The perimeter of the rectangle is given as 200 ft.

The formula to find the perimeter of a rectangle is:

Perimeter = 2(length + width)

Let length and width of the rectangle be denoted as ‘L’ and ‘B’

The given relationship between length and width can be written in equation form as follows:

L = 4 + B ------ eqn 1

Substitute the value of "L" in perimeter of triangle

200 = 2(4 + B + B)

200 = 2(4 + 2B)

200 = 8 + 4B

4B = 192

B = 48

Since, we know the value of width lets substitute it in eq1 to find the length.

L = 4 + 48

L = 52

Therefore, the length and width of the given rectangle are 52 ft and 48 ft respectively.

Derek says that the quotient of -2/7 divided by -2/21 is -1/3. Part A: What is the correct quotient? Part B: What mistake did De

Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

The correct quotient is 3.

I think Derek has mistaken to divide $-\frac{2}{21}$ by $\frac{2}{7}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to check the quotient of $(-\frac{2}{7}) \textrm{ divided by }(-\frac{2}{21})$ .

Part A:

Now, $(-\frac{2}{7}) \textrm{ divided by }(-\frac{2}{21})$ .

= $\frac{-\frac{2}{7} }{-\frac{2}{21} } =3$

So, the correct quotient is 3.

Part B:

Derek says that the quotient is $-\frac{1}{3}$ .

So, I think Derek has mistaken to divide $-\frac{2}{21}$ by $\frac{2}{7}$ . (Answer)

What is the equation of the line passing through the points (–25, 50) and (25, 50) in slope-intercept form?

allochka39001 [22]

The equation of the line passing through the points (-25, 50) and (25, 50) in slope-intercept form is y = 50. Hence, 4th option is the right choice.

The slope-intercept form of a line is written as y = mx + b, where m is the slope of the line, and b is the y-intercept.

The slope of a line passing through the points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) can be calculated using the formula, slope (m) = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁).

Therefore, slope of the line passing through the points (-25, 50) and (25, 50) can be calculated as m = (50 - 50)/(25 - (-25)) = 0/(-50) = 0.

We can find the equation of the line using the point-slope formula, according to which, a line having a slope m and passing through the point (x₁, y₁) can be written as y - y₁ = m(x - x₁).

Therefore, the equation of the given line can be written as:

y - 50 = 0(x - 25)

or, y - 50 = 0,

or, y = 50.

Therefore, the equation of the line passing through the points (-25, 50) and (25, 50) in slope-intercept form is y = 50. Hence, 4th option is the right choice.

I need help on 19 and 20

svp [43]

Number 19 you are comparing one measurement to another. Since it says 1/2 inch equals 4 ft, we want to find out how many more inches are needed if the given scale was 2/3 = 4 ft. Now lets find a common denominator for both scales stated in inches. We have 2/3 inch and 1/2 inch. Our denominator are the bottom parts of the fraction where we need to find a common factor for the denominator so we can add or subtract fractions. We have a 3 and a 2. You may always use the multiplication between two denominators to find a common factor such as 3 times 2 which equals 6 for both denominators. Now we multiplied the 3 by 2 to get 6 so the top part (numerator needs to be multiplied the the 2 because we changed the bottom part by 2 as well. You should notice that when you reduce your fraction now 4/6 is 2/3. Just a self check example there. As for 1/2 we multiplied a 3 to get 6 for the denominator so we need to multiply the numerator by 3 as well. You now should have 4/6 and 3/6. Since the question asks for how many more inches we need to subtract 4/6 from 3/6 and we get 1/6 inch for our answer.

What property is (3x10)x8=3x(10x8)

mylen [45]

(3 x 10) x 8 = 3 x (10 x 8)
this is called the associative property of multiplication.
it states : (a * b) * c = a * (b * c)
