Answer:

3 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the area of a rectangle is ...

A = LW . . . . . . area is the product of length and width

Fill in the given values and solve for the width (W).

18 cm² = (6 cm)W

(18 cm²)/(6 cm) = W = (18/6) cm²/cm . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of W

W = 3 cm

The width of the rectangle is 3 cm.

Use the figure to the right to find the value of PT. T is the midpoint of PQ.

Monica [59]

Answer:

$PQ = 42$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$PT = 3x + 3$

$TQ = 5x - 9$

Midpoint, T

Required

Determine PT

First, the value of x has to be calculated;

Since T is the midpoint, then:

$PT = TQ$

This implies

$3x + 3 = 5x - 9$

Solve for x

$3x - 5x = -3 - 9$

$-2x = -12$

$x = -12/-2$

$x = 6$

Length PQ can then be calculated using:

$PQ = PT + TQ$

$PQ = 3x +3 + 5x -9$

Collect Like Terms

$PQ = 3x+ 5x +3 -9$

$PQ = 8x -6$

Substitute 6 for x

$PQ = 8 * 6 - 6$

$PQ = 48 - 6$

$PQ = 42$

Simplify square root of 2 over cube root of 2.

Fed [463]

Answer:

2 to the power of one sixth

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming you don't already know this, any type of root can be expressed as an exponent. Generally speaking:

$\sqrt[n]{x} = {x}^{ \frac{1}{n} }$

So you can rewrite the given fraction as

$\frac{ {2}^{ \frac{1}{2} } }{ {2}^{ \frac{1}{3} } }$

and then reduce as you normally would. That is, if the bases of the numerator and denominator are the same, then you can subtract the denominator's exponent from the numerator's exponent like so:

$\frac{ {2}^{ \frac{1}{2} } }{ {2}^{ \frac{1}{3} } } = {2}^{ \frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{3} }$
