So the perimeter is the measurement of the shape all around. I marked the perimeter in green.

Let's use l for the unknown side.

Since the equation to find the perimeter of a rectangle is
(p = perimeter, l = length, w = width)
p = l + l + w + w
Since w = 10, and p = 50..
50 = l + l + 10 + 10
Simplify:
50 = 2l + 20
Now let's solve:
Subtract 20 from each side.
30 = 2l
Divide by 2 on each side.
15 = l

Now that we know the length is 15, we can use this equation to find the area.
(a = area)
a = wl
Since w = 10, and l = 15...
a = 10 · 15
Solve:
a = 150

The answer is 150.

Hope this helped! If you have anymore questions or don't understand, please comment on my profile or DM me. :)

Width W = 10, length L = ?
50 = 2L + 2W
2L = 50 - 2*10 => L = 15

area = L*W = 15*10 = 150 sq.ft.

The football team has 2 large water containers. Each container holds 345π in3 of water. Each player is given a cylindrical water

raketka [301]

Answer:

They'll be able to get 34 bottles from the containers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the bottles are cylindrical we can calculate their volume by using the following formula:

V = base_area*h

V = \pi*(r^2)*h

r = d/2 = 4/2 = 2 inches

V = 3.14*(2^2)*5 = 3.14*4*5

V = 3.14*20 = 62.8 inches^3

In order to know how many full bottles the players will get we need to divide the total volume of the containers, which is given by the sum of the volume of each container, and divide it by the volume of each bottle. We have:

bottles = (345*pi + 345*pi)/62.8 = 690*pi/62.8 = 2,166.6/62.8 = 34.5

Since the problem wants the amount of full bottles we only take the integer part, so they will be able to get 34 bottles from the containers.

Use the rules of exponents to evaluate or simplify. Write without negative exponents. 1/4^-1/2 = ___ a0

Nastasia [14]

For this case we have, by definition:

$a^{-b} =\frac{1}{a ^ b}$

So, we have:

$\frac{1}{4}^{-\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{1}{(\frac{1}{4})^{\frac{1}{2}}}$

On the other hand we have that by definition:

$a^{\frac{1}{2}}=\sqrt{a}$

Thus, the expression can be written as:

$\frac{1}{\sqrt {\frac{1}{4}}} =$

$\frac{1}{\frac{1}{\sqrt{4}}}$

$\frac{1}{\frac{1}{2}}$

$\frac{1*2}{1*1}=2$

So, we have:

$\frac{1}{4}^{-\frac{1}{2}}= 2$

Answer:

$\frac{1}{4}^{-\frac{1}{2}}= 2$

Solve -2 x + 6 = -20. -13 13 -7 7

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

First, we need to get the variable by it self.
-2x+6=20
-6=-6
-2x=14
Next, since the operation is multiplication, we need to divided both sides by -2.
X=-7
