Answer:

C. 77

Step-by-step explanation:

Let l be length and w be the width of the rectangle,

Thus, the perimeter of the rectangle = 2 ( length + width )

= 2 ( l + w )

According to the question,

l - w = 4 ⇒ l = 4 + w

Also, 2(l+w)=36

2(4 + w +w)=36

4 + 2 w = 18

2w = 14

⇒ w = 7

So, the width of the rectangle is 7 inches.

And, length = 4 + 7 = 11 inches

Thus, the area of the rectangle = length × width

= 11 × 7

= 77 in²

Option 'C' is correct.

Width= 7
Length= 11
Area: 11•7=77 (C)

A container is shaped like a rectangular prism and has a volume of 72 cubic feet. Give four different set of measurements that c

dimaraw [331]

Answer:

The formula for the volume of a prism is V = Bh

where,

B is the base area

h is the height.

Since, the base of the prism is a rectangle, therefore, volume of a rectangular prism = (L * B) * h

Assumptions:

Length, L and Width, B cannot be the same.

h = 4 ft

B = 2 ft

L = 9 ft

h = 4 ft

B = 3 ft

L = 6 ft

h = 6 ft

B = 2 ft

L = 6 ft

h = 2 ft

B = 2 ft

L = 18 ft

Find the area of each regular polygon. Round your answer to the nearest tenth if necessary.

tatuchka [14]

*I am assuming that the hexagons in all questions are regular and the triangle in (24) is equilateral*

(21)

Area of a Regular Hexagon: $\frac{3\sqrt{3}}{2}(side)^{2} = \frac{3\sqrt{3}}{2}*(\frac{20\sqrt{3} }{3} )^{2} =200\sqrt{3}$ square units

(22)

Similar to (21)

Area = $216\sqrt{3}$ square units

(23)

For this case, we will have to consider the relation between the side and inradius of the hexagon. Since, a hexagon is basically a combination of six equilateral triangles, the inradius of the hexagon is basically the altitude of one of the six equilateral triangles. The relation between altitude of an equilateral triangle and its side is given by:

$altitude=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}*side$
