Answer:

Length = 9 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a rectangle is:

perimeter = 2(length + width)

24 = 2(a+b)

a = b + 6

a = length

b = width

then:

24 = 2((b+6)+b)

24/2 = b+6+b

12 = 2b + 6

12-6 = 2b

6 = 2b

b = 6/2

b = 3 inches

a = b+6

a = 3+6

a = 9 inches

Check:

24 = 2(9+3)

24 = 2*12

Answer:

$\text{A. }y=1.30x+1.50$

Step-by-step explanation:

The two ringtones will cost her a total of $0.75\cdot 2=1.50$ and is a fixed amount. The relationship between the cost and number of songs only is $y=1.30x$ and therefore the answer is $\boxed{\text{A. }y=1.30x+1.50}$ . You can also directly find the answer by finding the y-intercept (in this case $1.50$ ), as no other answer choices include the term $1.50$ , so A must be the correct answer.

Niko has an orange tree and a lemon tree in his backyard the orange tree is 7 feet tall 9 inches tall the lemon tree is 1 yard 2

Dennis_Churaev [7]

We can solve this by converting both measurements to inches.

Orange tree:
1 foot=12 inches
7 feet=84 inches
84 inches + 9 inches = 93 inches total

Lemon tree:
1 yard=3 feet=36 inches
2 feet=24 inches
36 inches + 24 inches + 5 inches=65 inches total

Therefore, the orange tree is taller than the lemon tree.

Devin won a tiny bouncy ball at the school carnival. The diameter of the ball is 1.25 inches. To the nearest hundredth of a squa

jolli1 [7]

Answer:

SA = 4.91 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

A ball is a sphere, and the surface area of a sphere is

$SA=4\pi r^2$

If our diameter is 1.25, the radius is half of that at r = .625

Filling in, we have

SA = 4(3.14)(.625)² and

SA = 4(3.14)(.390625) so

SA = 4.91 in²
