Answer:

62 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there,

Let's start the problem by figuing out the width of the rectangle.

let w = the width of the rectangle.

The formula for the area of a rectangle is A = l*w, so let's plug in what we know.

228 = 12w

Now, let's solve for w, the width, by dividing both sides by 12

w = 19; The width is 19 feet.

Now, we have our length, 12 feet, and our width 19 feet.

So, we should now use the formula for perimiter to find the perimiter of this rectangle. The formula is P = W + W + L + L

Let's plug in the numbers

P = 12 + 12 + 19 + 19

P = 62 feet

Hope this helps! Stay safe!

What is the volume of this rectangular prism?

storchak [24]

Answer:

12/5 cm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

When you try and figure out volume, you want to multiply all of the sides a shape in order to get it.

The formula for volume is L x W x H

Now let's substitute all of the units with it's corresponding numbers:

L=3

W=4/3

H=3/5

Then just multiply:

3*4/3 = 4

4*3/5=12/5

Then you get the answer 12/5 cm^3

Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

$4.864*10^7\ miles$

$48,640,000\ miles$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

To determine how many more miles is the distance from Mars to the Sun than the distance from Earth to the Sun, subtract the distance from Earth to the Sun from the distance from Mars to the Sun

Let

x ----> the distance from Mars to the Sun in miles

y ----> the distance from Earth to the Sun in miles

Find out

$(x-y)$

we have

$x=1.416*10^8\ miles$

$y=9.296*10^7\ miles$

we need to adjust the powers of 10 in the 2 numbers so that they have the same index

Multiply the distance from Earth to the Sun by 10/10

$y=9.296*10^7(\frac{10}{10})=0.9296*10^8\ miles$

Find out the difference

$(x-y)=1.416*10^8\ miles-0.9296*10^8\ miles=0.4864*10^8\ miles$

Multiply by 10/10

$0.4864*10^8(\frac{10}{10})=4.864*10^7\ miles$

Jack is a car salesman who works strictly on commission. For every car he sells, he earns a 2% commission. Cars sell for $35,000

Nadya [2.5K]

First we need to find 2% of 35,000

2% equals 0.02 so we'll multiply 35,000 by 0.02

35,000 × 0.02 = 700

for every car he sells jack gets $700

now we need to divide that into 5,000

5,000 ÷ 700 = 7.14

now since you cannot sell 0.14 of a car you need to round up

he needs to sell 8 cars to meet his target income
