The perimeter of a rectangle is 

P = 2w +2l
P = 68 ft

and given the ratio l/w = 9/8 from this result 8l = 9w so l = (9w)/8

P = 2w +2l

68 = 2w +2((9w)/8)

68 = 2w +9w/4

4*68 = 8w +9w

272 = 17w

w = 272/17

w = 16 

so than we know that w=16 so than the length will be 

l = (9w)/8

l = 9*16/8

l = 9*2

l = 18

so than we know that 

l = 18
w = 16

If the temperature after 4.4 degree drop was -2.5 degrees Celsius what was the temperature at noon
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

1.9°C

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be the temperature at noon and -2.5°C be the current temperature after the drop.

-We calculate temperature at noon as:

\bigtriangleup =t_o-t_n\\4.4=X--2.5\\\\X=4.4-2.5\\\\=1.5\textdegree C

Hence, the temperature at noon was 1.9°C

Mrs. Benson has graded 46 math assignments but has 80% of the assignments left to grade. Mrs. Benson has how many math assignmen
timofeeve [1]

Mrs. Benson has 184 math assignments left to grade.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Here we have , Mrs. Benson has graded 46 math assignments but has 80% of the assignments left to grade.We need to find Mrs. Benson has how many math assignments left to grade. Let's find out:

Let total Number of math assignments be x , So According to question 46 math assignments are graded & 80% are left i.e.

⇒ x = 46+\frac{80x}{100}

⇒ x -\frac{80x}{100}= 46

⇒ \frac{100x-80x}{100}= 46

⇒ \frac{20x}{100}= 46

⇒ \frac{x}{5}= 46

⇒ x=230

Now , Assignments left to grade is :

⇒ 230-46

⇒ 184

Therefore , Mrs. Benson has 184 math assignments left to grade.

What is the length of the line segment with endpoints (7,-1) and (-3,5)?
Galina-37 [17]

Formula to find the length of two endpoints: \sqrt{(x^2-x^1)^2+(y^2-y^1)^2}

Now, solve with the given endpoints.

\sqrt{(x^2-x^1)^2+(y^2-y^1)^2} \\\sqrt{(-3-7)^2+(5-(-1))^2} \\\sqrt{(-10)^2 + (6)^2} \\ \sqrt{100+36}\\\sqrt{136}

_______

Now, simplify using what we know about radicals.

Solution in picture.

_______

The length between the endpoints is 2√34 (Option B)

_______
