If Ms. Callahan has 24 feet of fencing, and she is building a pen, the PERIMETER of the pen must be 24 feet. The perimeter is basically the distance around a figure. The perimeter of a rectangle is equal to length plus width plus length plus width, AKA l+w+l+w, or P=2l+2w. In a rectangle, two pairs of sides are of equal length--so the two lengths and the two widths must be equal.
So, the formula is P=2l+2w. P, the perimeter, is 24, so 24=2l+2w. Let's try some values for l and see what we get for w. If the length is 1, l=1. 24=(2*1)+2w. 24=2+2w. 22=2w. w=11. So if length is 1 foot, width is 11 feet.
What if l=2? 24=(2*2)+2w. 24=4+2w. 2w=20. w=10. If l=2, w=10. And l=3? 24=(2*3)+2w. 24=6+2w. 18=2w. w=9. If l=3, w=9. Do you see a pattern? Every time we add 1 to l, we subtract 1 from w. So if l=4, w=8. If l=5, w=7. If l=6, w=6. Here, we start getting similar answers: if l=7, w=5. If l=8, w=4. Since we already know these values work, it doesn't matter whether we call it length or width. So, our answers are below.
Answer: Ms Callahan can make a pen with a length of 1 foot and a width of 11 feet, a length of 2 feet and a width of 10 feet, a length of 3 feet and a width of 9 feet, a length of 4 feet and a width of 8 feet, a length of 5 feet and a width of 7 feet, or a length of 6 feet and a width of 6 feet.
I’m pretty sure it’s 2:5 hope that helps!
Answer:
The answer to your question is below
Step-by-step explanation:
Data
Volume = 270 cm³
height = 5 cm
length = ?
width = ?
Formula
Volume of a rectangular prism = height x length x width
- Solve for Area of the base (height x length)
Area of the base = Volume / height
-Substitution
Area of the base = 270 / 5
-Result
Area of the base = 54 m²
2.- Find the prime factors of 54
54 2
27 3
9 3
3 3
1
3.- The possible values of the sidas of the rectangle are:
Combining the prime factor of 54.
Length Width
2 x 3 = 6 and 3 x 3 = 9
or 2 x 3 x 3 = 18 and 3 x 1 = 3
or 3 x 3 x 3 = 27 and 2 x 1 = 2
Answer:
2 and 2/3 for the first question
-1/8 for the second one
-1/5 for the third one
ive never done this type of question or maybe it was too long ago for me to remember but out of this answer choices i would guess that its the last one
this is 3
Step-by-step explanation:
you add the numerators which is the top number in order to get 2 and 2/3rds
you subtract 5 from 4 to get -1/8
same situation as the last one, subtract 15 from 11 to make it a negative 4/20 and then simplify that by dividing it by four to get 1/5th
this one i dont understand or remember how to do very well but if i had to guess its the last answer choice
this one you add 3/4 plus 1/4 in order to get 4/4 or rather 1, so basically its asking what 1+1+1 is which is 3
