$\huge\boxed{\text{48 inches}}$

We know that $\frac{\text{length}}{\text{width}} = \frac{60}{\text{width}} = \frac{5}{4}$ .

Solve using cross multiplication of the last two fractions. I will use $w$ to represent the width of the rectangle. $60*4=w*5$

Multiply. $240=5w$

Divide both sides of the equation by $5$ . $\boxed{48}=w$

$\text{Hello there!}\\\\\text{In this question, we're trying to find the width}\\\\\text{We can find the width with the given information from the question}\\\\\text{We know that the ratio for length to with is 5:4, respectively.}\\\\\text{We also know that the length of the rectangle is 60}\\\\\text{We need to get from5 to 60 in the ratio, so we would multiply}\\\text{by 12}\\\\\text{Now, we would multiply 4 by 12, since whatever you do to the left, you}\\\text{do to the right}\\\\4*12=48$

$\text{The ratio would be 60:48}\\\\\text{The width of the rectangle is 48 inches}\\\\\large\boxed{\text{Width}=48\,\text{ inches}}\\\\\text{I hope this helps!}\\\text{Best regards,}\\\text{MasterInvestor}$

Simplify.<br><br> n 6 · n 5 ÷ n 4 · n 3 ÷ n 2 · n

trasher [3.6K]

Answer: $n^{9}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression: $n^6\cdot n^5\div n^4\cdot n^3\div n^2\cdot n$

The law of exponents are given by :_

$a^m\cdot a^n=a^{m+n}\\\\a^m\div a^n=a^{m-n}$

Using PEDMAS, first we solve division, we get

$n^6\cdot n^{5-4}\cdot n^{3-2}\cdot n\\\\=n^6\cdot n\cdot n\cdot n$

Now, using product law of exponent we get

$n^{6+1+1+1}\\\\=n^{9}$

What are the factors of x^2-8x-20

kipiarov [429]

Answer:

(x+2)(x−10)

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2-8x-20

Factoring means something like this:

(x+_)(x+_)

Add together to get -8

Multiply together to get -20

think of the two numbers

Try 2 and -10:

2+-10 = -8

2*-10 = -20

Fill in the blanks of with 2 and -10 to get

(x+_)(x+_) = (x+2)(x−10)

I hope it's right!

For each pair of numbers, find a third whole number such that the three numbers form a pythagorean triple.

BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

Part 1) The third whole number is 44

Part 2) The third whole number is 40

Part 3) The third whole number is 25

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The Pythagoras theorem states that

In a right triangle

$c^{2} =a^{2} +b^{2}$

where

c is the greater length side

a and b are the legs

Case 1) we have

33,55

<em>step a</em>

Let

$a=33, b=55$

Find the value of c

$c^{2} =a^{2} +b^{2}$

$c^{2} =33^{2} +55^{2}$

$c^{2} =4,114$

$c =64.14$ ------> is not a whole number

<em>step b</em>

Let

$a=33, c=55$

Find the value of b

$b^{2} =c^{2} -a^{2}$

$b^{2} =55^{2} -33^{2}$

$b^{2} =1,936$

$b=44$

Case 2) we have

42,58

<em>step a</em>

Let

$a=42, b=58$

Find the value of c

$c^{2} =a^{2} +b^{2}$

$c^{2} =42^{2} +58^{2}$

$c^{2} =5,128$

$c =71.61$ ------> is not a whole number

<em>step b</em>

Let

$a=42, c=58$

Find the value of b

$b^{2} =c^{2} -a^{2}$

$b^{2} =58^{2} -42^{2}$

$b^{2} =1,600$

$b=40$

Case 3) we have

60,65

<em>step a</em>

Let

$a=60, b=65$

Find the value of c

$c^{2} =a^{2} +b^{2}$

$c^{2} =60^{2} +65^{2}$

$c^{2} =7,825$

$c =88.46$ ------> is not a whole number

<em>step b</em>

Let

$a=60, c=65$

Find the value of b

$b^{2} =c^{2} -a^{2}$

$b^{2} =65^{2} -60^{2}$

$b^{2} =625$

$b=25$
