The side lengths to get an area of 40 could be 8 and 5

Area = length x width

So if one side is 8 and the other is 5 then it will have to be the same on the opposite side of the rectangle

Perimeter = side + side + side+ side

So it is 8+8+5+5 = 16+10 = 26 feet

This is just one answer, there is more than one correct answer for this problem

A possible perimeter for the rectangle would be 28

Area=L x W

40/10=4

Width=4, Length=10

Perimeter=L+L+W+W

4+4+10+10=28

Connie's dog fido weighs 35 pounds. Her vet placed fido on a diet. What inequality can you write to find the average number of p

lawyer [7]

Fido's dog must lose 1.17 pounds each month to reach healthier weight.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Weight of fido's dog = 35 pounds

Time period = 6 months

Goal weight to reach = 28 or less pounds

Let,

m be the weight to be lose each month.

Weight of dog - Time period * Weight to lose each month ≤ Goal weight

$35-6m\leq 28\\-6m\leq 28-35\\-6m\leq -7$

Dividing both sides by -6

$\frac{-6m}{-6}\leq \frac{-7}{-6}\\\\m\leq 1.17$

Fido's dog must lose 1.17 pounds each month to reach healthier weight.

Tracy has a cell phone plan that provides 250 free minutes each month for a flat rate of $29.

natali 33 [55]

Answer:

250 minutes with the flat rate of $29.

$x\leq 250$

x would be the number of minutes called.

$x-250$

Tracy would be charged by $0.35 per minute.

$f(x)=29\\ 0\leq x\leq 250$

$f(x)=0.35(x-250)+29,\\250\leq x\leq ∞$
