There is no "greatest" possible perimeter.

There's a smallest possible perimeter.  That's a square.
Since the area is 6 square centimeters, each side of the square is
√6 = about 2.45 cm, and the perimeter is about  9.8 cm (rounded).

But there's no 'greatest' perimeter.  You can take that square
and if you're careful, you can make it into rectangles that all have
the same area ... 6 square cm ... but the longer and skinnier
you make it, the greater the perimeter will be. 
You can give me a number as big as you want, and I can make
a rectangle with a perimeter of your number, but an area of only
6 square centimeters !

Here are some few examples.  They all have
the same area, but different perimeters:

2.45 cm by 2.45 cm ...   Area = 6 square cm ... Perimeter = 9.8 cm

2 cm by 3 cm ...              Area = 6 square cm ... Perimeter = 10 cm
1.5 cm by 4 cm ...           Area = 6 square cm ... Perimeter = 11 cm
1.2 cm by 5 cm ...           Area = 6 square cm ... Perimeter = 12.4 cm
1 cm by 6 cm ...              Area = 6 square cm ... Perimeter = 14 cm
0.8 cm by 7.5 cm ...        Area = 6 square cm ... Perimeter = 16.6 cm
0.6 cm by 10 cm ...         Area = 6 square cm ... Perimeter = 21.2 cm
0.5 cm by 12 cm ...         Area = 6 square cm ... Perimeter = 25 cm
0.4 cm by 15 cm ...         Area = 6 square cm ... Perimeter = 30.8 cm
0.3 cm by 20 cm ...         Area = 6 square cm ... Perimeter = 40.6 cm
0.2 cm by 30 cm ...         Area = 6 square cm ... Perimeter = 60.4 cm
0.1 cm by 60 cm ...         Area = 6 square cm ... Perimeter = 120.2 cm

0.001cm by 6,000cm ... Area = 6 square cm ... Perimeter = 12,000.2 cm

Mashutka [201]

Answer:

C. -7f > -9 because -7f is warmer than -9f

Step-by-step explanation:

Process of Elimination

You can rule out B and D because the answer contradicts itself.

Previous Knowledge

We know -7f is warmer than -9f because its closer to 0 so we can rule out A

Therefore through the process of elimination you can conclude the answer is C

Answer:

x = 14.375

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, so we know that a triangle has a total interior degree of 180°. And since we already have a 95° angle, we just need to subtract 95 from 180.

180° - 95° = 85°

Now, we already have indicators that two of the three sides are equal. And we already got the angle of the side that does not have a matching partner. So we just need to divide what we already have by 2.

85° / 2 = 42.5°

Now that we know each side is 42.5 degrees, we just need to grab our given equation and put and equal sign at the end with what we already know is the answer (since we are trying to solve for <em>x</em>).

(4x - 15) = 42.5

Now, let's just get rid of those useless parentheses.

4x - 15 = 42.5

Next, we just need to have the variable on its own side, all by itself. So, in order to do that, we just add 15 to both sides.

4x = 57.5

Now, for our final step, we just need to divide each side by our variables' factor (which is a positive 4). In which we get our final answer of:

x = 14.375
