Answer:

length = 6 feet

width = 4 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the dimensions of the rectangle, you can set up a variable and an expression that will equal the perimeter of the figure.  Given l = length, width is '8 feet less than twice the length' or w = 2l - 8.

The general formula for perimeter of a rectangle is:

2w + 2l = P, where w = width and l = length

Using the variable and expression from above and the perimeter of 20 feet:

2(2l - 8)+ 2l = 20

distribute: 4l - 16 + 2l = 20

combine like terms: 6l - 16 = 20

add 16 to both sides: 6l - 16 + 16 = 20 + 16 or 6l = 36

divide and solve for 'l':  6l/6 = 36/6, or l = 6 feet

solve for 'w':  w = 2(6) - 8 or w = 12 - 8 = 4 feet

Lance says that you can compare any decimal numbers the way that you alphatbetize words you can tell which number is first by co
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

No, Lance's thinking is wrong because you cannot compare decimal numbers with alphabetizing words. For example, if we compare 37.6 to 7.42 using the method of Lance, we would probably say 37.6 is less than 7.42 because 3 is less than 7. But it is wrong. The 3 in 37.6 is in the tens place. On the other hand, 7.42 contains no tense. Therefore, 37.6 is actually higher.

Q # 25 find the distance between the two points
iren [92.7K]
To find the distance between the points given in the figure of the problem above, you must apply the formula for calculate the distace between two points, which is shown below:
 d=√[(x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2]
 When you substitute the values, you obtain:
 d=√[(x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2]
 d=√[(-1-2)^2+(-5-5)^2]
 d=10.4
 The answer is:10.4
