Let us assume the width of the rectangle = w
Let us assume the length of the rectangle = l
Then
l = 2w
Also 
Perimeter of the rectangle = 2 (l + w)
24 = 2 (2w + w)
24 = 2 (3w)
24 = 6w
w = 24/6
    = 4 inches
Now 
The length of the rectangle = 2w
                                            = 2 * 4 inches
                                            = 8 inches
So the length of the rectangle is 8 inches and the width is 4 inches.

Chanita wants to swim the 21-mile English Channel in 48 hours. On the first day she swam 9 miles and then was picked up by a fer
sesenic [268]

Answer:the minimum rate is 1 mile per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Chanita wants to swim the 21-mile English Channel in 48 hours. Total number of miles that she covered on the first day is 9 miles. Total distance left for her to cover would be

21 - 9 =12 miles.

The next day, she has 12 hours of daylight to complete the remaining distance. Let x represent the minimum rate she has to swim on the second day to complete the distance.

Speed = distance/time

Therefore,

x ≥ 12/12

x ≥ 1

Find the value of the variables in each figure. Explain your reasoning.
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The figure has one pair of parallel sides and is a trapezoid.

Each lower base angle is supplementary to the upper base angle on the same side, thus

15x + 30 + 10x = 180 , that is

25x + 30 = 180 ( subtract 30 from both sides )

25x = 150 ( divide both sides by 25 )

x = 6

Also

3y + 18 + 90 = 180 , that is

3y + 108 = 180 ( subtract 108 from both sides )

3y = 72 ( divide both sides by 3 )

y = 24

-------------------------------------------------------------------

2x, 90 and x lie on a straight line and sum to 180 , thus

2x + 90 + x = 180 , that is

3x + 90 = 180 ( subtract 90 from both sides )

3x = 90 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 30

------------

2y and x are alternate angles and congruent , thus

2y = x = 30 ( divide both sides by 2 )

y = 15

X+½x+7y=0 what is the value of y=?​
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

\frac{-3x}{14}

Step-by-step explanation:

x+\frac{1}{2}x+7y = 0\\

1.5x + 7y = 0

7y = -1.5x

y = \frac{-1.5x}{7}

= \frac{-3x}{14}

Hope this helps :)
