Believe it or not, :), the width of the ribbon needs to be known to get the right answer.  If the ribbon had an infinitely small width the ribbon needed would just be the perimeter.

P=2(L+W)

P=2(12+15)

P=54 in

However an infinitely small width is not something that has any practical application.  For example, if the width of the ribbon were 1/2 in.

P=2((L+1)+W)

P=2(16+12)

P=56 in  So the perimeter increased by 2 in when the ribbon was only 1/2 in wide.

The "infinitely small" width and the perimeter of 54 in is only a decent approximation if the ribbon were a very thin string.

Answer:

  See below

Step-by-step explanation:

The solution choices all agree that x = 1±√2. The second equation tells you ...

  y = ±2√(x+2)

so the sign of the √2 term in x is the same as the sign of the √2 term in y. The answer choices circled in red are the ones that meet this requirement.

The plan of a patio deck is shown at the right. The scale is 2 inches: 6 feet. What are the length and width of the deck
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

5in.=15ft. 2in.=6ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

What you have to do is translate 6ft. into inches which is 72in. Then you divide that by 2in. From that you get 36in. You then take that 36in. and multiply it by the 5in for the length. from that you get 180in. You divide the 180in. by 12 to turn your inches into feet and you end up with 15ft.

I hope this helps.

The equation y=123.1(1.065)* models the number of college students (in thousands) who studied abroad each year from 1998 through
xenn [34]

The estimate of the number of students studying abroad in 2003 is 169 and the estimate of the number of students studying abroad in 2018 is 433

<h3>a. Estimate the number of students studying abroad in 2003.</h3>

The function is given as:

y = 123(1.065)^x

Where x represents years from 1998 to 2013

2003 is 5 years from 1998.

This means that

x = 5

Substitute the known values in the above equation

y = 123(1.065)^5

Evaluate the exponent

y = 123 * 1.37008666342

Evaluate the product

y = 168.520659601

Approximate

y = 169

Hence, the estimate of the number of students studying abroad in 2003 is 169

<h3>b. Assuming this equation continues to be valid in the future, use this equation to predict the number of students studying abroad in 2018.</h3>

2018 is 20 years from 1998.

This means that

x = 20

Substitute the known values in the above equation

y = 123(1.065)^20

Evaluate the exponent

y = 123 * 3.52364506352

Evaluate the product

y = 433.408342813

Approximate

y = 433

Hence, the estimate of the number of students studying abroad in 2018 is 433
