The perimeter of a rectangular field is 26 yards. The length is 4 more yards than twice the width. Find the length and width of

the field.
A. Length = 8 yards; Width = 4 yards
B. Length = 10 yards; Width = 3 yards
C. Length = 13 yards; Width = 9 yards
D. Length = 8.5 yards; Width = 4.5 yards

The formula for perimeter is P = 2length + 2width (P = 2L + 2W)

You know that the length is 4 more yards then twice the width. In equation form this would be:

length = 4 + 2w

Plug what you know into the perimeter formula:

26 = 2(4 + 2w) + 2w

First you must distribute the 2 to the numbers inside the parentheses, which would be 4 and 2w...

26 = (2 * 4) + (2 * 2w) + 2w

26 = 8 + 4w + 2w

Now you must combine like terms. This means that first numbers with  the same variables (w) must be combined...

26 = 8 + 4w + 2w

4w + 2w = 6w

26 = 8 + 6w

Now bring 8 to the left side by subtracting 8 to both sides (what you do on one side you must do to the other). Since 8 is being added on the right side, subtraction (the opposite of addition) will cancel it out (make it zero) from the right side and bring it over to the left side.

26 - 8 = 8 - 8 + 6w

18 = 0 + 6w

18 = 6w

To isolate w divide 6 to both sides

18 / 6 = 6w / 6

w = 3

We know that the width is 3 ft

Now you must find the length. To do this plug 3 where you see w in the equation:

length = 4 + 2w

l = 4 + 2(3)

l = 4 + 6

l = 10

We know that length is 10 ft

Letter B. is the correct answer

Hope this helped!

Which numbers are perfect squares? Check all that apply.
Andrew [12]

A perfect square is a number made by squaring a whole number.

Since

  • 1^2=1;
  • 4^2=16;
  • 10^2=100,

numbers 1, 16, 100 are perfect squares. You cannot find such whole number n, that

  • 2=n^2;
  • 18=n^2;
  • 32=n^2;
  • 44=n^2;
  • 94=n^2,

therefore, numbers 2, 18, 32, 44, 94 are not perfect squares.

Answer: 1, 16, 100.

g There are 3 signal transmitters T1,T2 and T3. Each one sends a signal to a receiver R and R sends three signals back to the th
ANEK [815]

Answer:

Recall that probability is given as; the number of required outcome over the number of total possible outcome.

The probability that a transmitter receives the signal being sent by itself is given as \frac{1}{3}.

when there are n transmitters, the probability will be given as \frac{1}{n}

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability simply the likelihood of an event occurring or not occurring.

Probability therefore is given as; the number of required outcome over number of possible outcome.

In the case of the first part above we have the number of required outcome to be at least one divided by the number of possible outcome which is 3.

while in the second part we have the number o possible outcome to be n.
