name the lengths of the sides of three rectangles with a perimeter of 12 units use only whole numbers

1 answer:

8 0

The perimeter of a rectangle is 2(w+l)
We can find the lengths by setting the equation equal to 12.
12=2(w+l)
12÷2=(2(w+l))÷2
6=w+l
6=1+5
6=2+4
6=3+3
These are the lengths of the sides of three rectangles with a perimeter of 12 units.
You're probably wondering why the third one has two of the same number, because that's usually how the lengths of sides of squares are, not rectangles.
Well, there's this wonderful thing about the rules of shapes.
Squares ARE rectangles.
Because they follow the rules for a rectangle, squares are also classified as rectangles.
So, the rectangle side lengths are as follows:
1 unit by 5 units
2 units by 4 units
3 units by 3 units

What is the least common multiple of 8 and 9? Enter your answer in the box.

Contact [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The LCM is when you find the lowest factor that 2 or more numbers share.

For 8 and 9,you would just need to keep multiplying each other until you find the same numbers. It would look something like this.

8,16,24,32,40,48,56,64,72..... etc.

9,18,27,36,45,54,63,72,81..... etc.

You can see how they both have the same factor (72), and since that is the lowest factor (which means I can find a lower factor then 72) then your LCM of 8 and 9 should be 72 :)

Which of the objects shown above are pyramids?

PolarNik [594]

<h3>Answer: A and B (first answer choice)</h3>

Explanation:

Both figures shown in A and B are triangular pyramids. The base is a triangle, and the lateral sides are also triangles. Another example would be rectangular pyramids where the base is a rectangle, and the lateral sides are triangles.

Choice C is ruled out because cones aren't considered pyramids.

Choice D is a combination of a rectangular prism, and a rectangular pyramid stacked on top, so it's not purely a pyramid only. We can rule out choice D.

Solve for r and t: 6r - 3t = 6 6r + 8t = -16

MAVERICK [17]

Multiply the first equation with (-1)
you should get this

-6r + 3t = -6
6r + 8t = -16

start to eliminate

11t = -22

divide by 11

t = -2

substitute

6r - 3(-2) = 6
6r + 6 = 6
6r = 6 - 6
6r = 0
r=0

3A --- 5.8 × 10⁷

3B --- 2.5 × 10⁻³

4A --- 4.67 × 10¹³

4B --- 3.5 × 10⁻³

5A --- 9 × 10⁶

5C --- All ants combined weigh 112.46 times more than all humans combined

Step-by-step explanation:

(I am using PEMDAS for Order of Operations)

1A -----------------------------------------------

6 × 7 - 3² × 9 + 4³

Parenthesis

No parenthesis.

Exponents

6 × 7 - 3² × 9 + 4³

6 × 7 - 9 × 9 + 64

Multiplication

6 × 7 - 9 × 9 + 64

42 - 81 + 64

Division

No division.

Addition

42 - 81 + 64 (the 81 is negative)

42 + -17

1B --------------------------------------

5 + 4 x 2 + 6 - 2 x 2 - 1 = 14

(5 + 4) x 2 + 6 - 2 x 2 - 1 = 19

9 x 2 + 6 - 2 x 2 - 1

18 + 6 - 2 x 2 - 1

18 + 6 - 4 - 1

24 - 5

2A --------------------------------------------

3 × 7 - 3³ × 9 + 4²

Parenthesis

No parenthesis

Exponents

3 × 7 - 27 × 9 + 16

Multiplication

21 - 27 × 9 + 16

21 - 243 + 16

Addition

21 - 243 + 16

21 - 227

Subtraction

21 - 227

-206

2B ---------------------------------------------

5 + 3 × 2 + 6 - 2 × 3 - 7 = 4

(sorry cant figure this one out)

3A ------------------------------------------------

Move the decimal point in 58,000,000.0 over x times until you have 5.8000000. It was moved to the left 7 times, so the answer is 5.8 × 10⁷.

3B -----------------------------------------------

Move the decimal point in 0.0025 over x times until you have 2.5. It was moved to the right 3 times, so the answer is 2.5 × 10⁻³.

4A -----------------------------------------------

Move the decimal point in 46,700,000,000,000.0 x times until you have 4.67. It was moved to the left 13 times so the answer is 4.67 × 10¹³.

4B ----------------------------------------------

Move the decimal point in 0.0035 x times until you have 3.5. It was moved to the right 3 times, so the answer is 3.5 × 10⁻³.

5A -------------------------------------------------

(4.5 × 10³)(2 × 10³)

4.5 × 2 = 9

10³ × 10³ = 10⁶

9 × 10⁶

5B ------------------------------------------------------

(1.4 × 10⁵)(1.2 × 10⁵)

1.4 × 1.2 = 1.68

10⁵ * 10⁵ = 10¹⁰

1.68 × 10¹⁰

5C ---------------------------------------------------------

An adult human is 65 kilograms.

6.5 × 10¹ grams

An ant is (you didnt say how many so im going with) 5 grams.

5 × 10⁰ grams

6.84 billion humans

6,840,000,000.0 humans

6.84 × 10⁹ humans

10,000 trillion ants

1 × 10¹⁶ ants

Weight of humans:

(6.5 × 10¹)(6.84 × 10⁹)

44.46 × 10¹⁰

All humans weigh 4.446 × 10¹¹ kilograms

Weight of ants:

(5 × 10⁰)(1 × 10¹⁶)

All ants weigh 5 × 10¹⁶ grams

1000 grams per kilogram

1000 = 1 × 10³

5 × 10¹⁶ ÷ 1 × 10³

5 ÷ 1 = 5

16 - 3 = 13

All ants weigh 5 × 10¹³ kilograms

All humans weigh 4.446 × 10¹¹ kilograms

5 × 10¹³ ÷ 4.446 × 10¹¹ = 112.46

All ants combined weigh 112.46 times more than all humans combined
