P = 2(L + W)
P = 14
W = L - 5

14 = 2(L + L - 5)
14 = 2(2L - 5)
14 = 4L - 10
14 + 10 = 4L
24 = 4L
24/4 = L
6 = L.......the length is 6 inches

W = L - 5
W = 6 - 5
W = 1 <=== the width is 1 inch

This Question: 1 pt
horrorfan [7]

Answer: the length of the field is 70 yards. The width of the field is 35 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Let L represent the length of the rectangular athletic field.

Let W represent the width of the rectangular athletic field.

A rectangular athletic field is twice as long as it is wide. This means that

L = 2W

The formula for determining the perimeter of a rectangle is expressed as

Perimeter = 2(L + W)

If the perimeter of the athletic field is 210 yards, it means that

210 = 2(L + W)

L + W = 210/2 = 105

Substituting L = 2W into L + W = 105, it becomes

2W + W = 105

3W = 105

W = 105/3 = 35

L = 2W = 2 × 35

L = 70

Which congruence criteria can be used directly from the information about triangles HIJ and MNO to prove IJ¯¯¯¯¯¯≅MN¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ b
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer: \overline{IJ}\cong \overline{MN}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: In triangle HIJ and triangle MNO we have

\overline{HI}\cong \overline{NO}, \angle{I}\cong \angle{N} ,\angle{H}\cong \angle{O}

here, HI and NN are the included side between  ∠I & ∠H and ∠N and ∠O.

So , by ASA congruence rule,

ΔHIJ ≅ ΔMNO

So by CPCTC  (corresponding parts of the congruent triangles are congruent)

\overline{IJ}\cong \overline{MN}

Write the ratio of the first measurement to the second measurement. <br> 3 feet to 46 inches
Stolb23 [73]
3 feet is 36 inches (12 inches per foot), so it'd be 36:46. You can simplify this to 18:23, which is the answer. I hope this helps!
