The width of the construction paper is 12 inches.

The formula for area is length(l)*width(w)=area in units squared(a^2).

To find the width, we divide both sides by length, this gives us the following:

17*w=204in^2     w=204in^2/17  

To find the answer, you just perform the operation.

204/17=12

The width is 12 inches.

Is RS perpendicular to DF? Select Yes or No for each statement. R (6, −2), S (−1, 8), D (−1, 11), and F (11 ,4) R (1, 3), S (4,7
guajiro [1.7K]

I'll do the first one to get you started.  

Find the slope of the line between R (6,-2) and S (-1,8) to get

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (8-(-2))/(-1-6)

m = (8+2)/(-1-6)

m = 10/(-7)

m = -10/7

The slope of line RS is -10/7

Next, we find the slope of line DF

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (4-11)/(11-(-1))

m = (4-11)/(11+1)

m = -7/12

From here, we multiply the two slope values

(slope of RS)*(slope of DF) = (-10/7)*(-7/12)

(slope of RS)*(slope of DF) = (-10*(-7))/(7*12)

(slope of RS)*(slope of DF) = 10/12

(slope of RS)*(slope of DF) = 5/6

Because the result is not -1, this means we do not have perpendicular lines here. Any pair of perpendicular lines always has their slopes multiply to -1. This is assuming neither line is vertical.

I'll let you do the two other ones. Let me know what you get so I can check your work.

-0.38 (8 repeating) written as a fraction is _____.
natulia [17]

Answer:

\frac{7}{18}

Step-by-step explanation:

We first let 0.38 (8 being repeated) be T.

Since z is recurring in 1 decimal places, we multiply it by 10. 10z = 3.88

Next, we subtract them. 10 r T 3.88 0.38 9x 3.5

Lastly, we divide both sides by 9 to get IC as a fraction. 3.5 T 9 35 90 7 18
