Answer: option c

length = 9m

Perimeter = 26.4m

Step-by-step explanation:

A rectangle has a width of 4.2 m and an area of 37.8 m^2

We want yo determine the length of the rectangle and the perimeter of the rectangle.

The perimeter of the rectangle is the distance round the shape. Let the width of the triangle be w.

The perimeter of the rectangle would be expressed as Length + width + length + width. This becomes

2(length +width). So the perimeter of the given rectangle is

2(length + 4.2) but the area is given as 37.8 m^2. Area of a rectangle is length × width. It becomes

37.8= length × 4.2

Length = 37.8/4.2 = 9m

Therefore, the perimeter is

2(length + 4.2) = 2(9+4.2)

Perimeter = 2× 13.2 = 26.4m

The answer is C. It is nonlinear because the increase in the “total house built” compared to the increase in the “months passed” does not show a constant rate of change.

20. what us the area of the figure:

Varvara68 [4.7K]

If the angle in B is 45º, that means the angle in A is also going to be 45º, considering it's a right triangle, so AC and BC are they have the same length.
Then using Pythagoras, you'll get that $AC^{2} + BC^{2}$ equals $AB^{2}$ .
Now, you know that AC=BC and that AB=24.
So you'll get $2AC^{2} =24^2$ . You do the square root in both sides and you get that 2AC=24 and AC=12.

Now that you know that both AC and BC equal 12, you can find the area by just multiplying them and then diving them by 2. (The formula for the area of a triangle is half base multiplied by height, and in a right triangle, if a cathetus is the base, the other cathetus<span> will be the height)

And so the area is equal to 72.</span>

Putting soil is sold in bags that contain 1/2 cubic foot of soil. Estimate how many bags Rylee should buy.

kap26 [50]

Answer:

Ok. So, I can't see the image. Buttttt, depending on how many cubic feet she wants. If she wanted 5.5 cubic feet of soil, she would buy 10 bags of soil. Each showing 1/2 of a cubic foot. Use your fingers to help saying, " Half, One, One and a half, two, two and a half...." So on and so forth.
