We use the equation 2x+8x=50.

10x=50
x=5

The rectangle will be 20 cm long and 5 cm wide.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

5 cm ( width ) , 20 cm (length)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let width = w

Let length = 4w

Perimeter = 50

Perimeter formula for a rectangle = 2l + 2w

Plug in the variables (width and length)

2(w) + 2(4w) = 50

2w + 8w = 50

10w = 50

w = 5

Remember, recall that length = 4w

length = 4w

length = 4(5)

length = 20

Therefore, the dimensions of the rectangle are 5 by 20 cm

klio [65]

Step-by-step explanation:

let eqn be y = mx + b.

m = (5 - (-11))/(0 - 4) = -4

sub (0, 5):

5 = -4(0) + b

b = 5

therefore, eqn is y = -4x + 5

For a circle with a radius of 6 feet, what is the measurement of the central angle (in degrees) that intercepts an arc

geniusboy [140]

Answer: The central angle measures 135 degrees

Step-by-step explanation: We have been given an arc with length 9pi/2 feet and a radius of 6 feet. The arc is shown in the attached diagram (please see attachment). The central angle subtended by this arc is at point O and has been labeled angle X.

So if the diagram shows arc AB with length 9pi/2 and radius AO with length 6, we can use the formula to compute “Length of an arc” to arrive at the missing angle.

Length of an arc = X/360 x 2pi x radius

Substituting for the known values, our formula can now be re-written as

9pi/2 = X/360 x 2pi x6

By cross multiplication we now have

9pi/2pi x 6 = 2X/360

We simplify as much as possible by dividing all like terms, hence pi divides pi on the left side of the equation. Also 2 divides 360 on the right side of the equation.We now arrive at,

9/12 = X/180

Simplify even further and we have

3/4 = X/180

By cross multiplication we now have

(3 x 180)/4 = X

540/4 = X

135 = X

Therefore the central angle that intercepts the arc measures 135 degrees.

0.007 is 1\10 of what because I don't make sense

irina1246 [14]

0.007 x 10 = 0.07

In the scientific value of 5.893 x 10n. The standard value is 0.00005893 what is n? To better illustrate this phenomenon, we can explain it further under the rules of scientific notation. 
For example. 
1. 3 x 10^3 = 3 x 100 = 300
2. 3 x 10^-3 = 3 x 0.001 = 0.003

Solution: 
0.00005893 = 5.893 x 0.00001 = 5.893 x 10^-5
n= ^-5
