The formula for perimeter is: P=2W+2L

Rewrite as: 2W  = P-2L

Divide all terms by 2: P/2-L=W

Width is 1/5p, replace W in the equation: P/2-L= 1/5P

Multiply  each term by 10: 5P-10L=2P

Subtract 2p from both sides and add 10L to both sides: 3P=10L

Lenght is given as 15 inches, replace L with 15 and multiply: 3P=150

Divide both sides by 3: P=50

W=1/5P = 10 inches

Answer:

10 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

w = 1/5 P

Multiply each side by 5

5w = 1/5P *5

5w =P

We know the perimeter of a rectangle

P = 2(l+w)

We can set the two equations equal

5w = 2 (l+w)

l =15 inches

We can substitute 15 in for the length

5w = 2(15+w)

Distribute

5w = 30 +2w

Subtract 2w from each side

5w -2w = 30+2w-2w

3w =30

Divide each side by 3

3w/3 = 30/3

w =10

The width is 10 inches

What is the length of the hypotenuse of the triangle below
Hatshy [7]
One way to solve this is to use Pythagorean theorem: the square of one leg of triangle plus square of other leg of the triangle equals c the hypotenuse (longest side of triangle). You might see this as the formula a^2 + b^2 = c^2, where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse.
In this case, the legs are 3√2 and the hypotenuse is h.
Using the formula:
(3√2)² + (3√2)² = h²
18 + 18 = h²
h = 6

The other way to do this is with trigonometric angles.
Remember cosine is adjacent over hypotenuse.
cos(45°) = (3√2) / h
h = (3√2) / cos(45°)
h = 6

A test to detect an infection gives a positive result 98% of the time if a person is infected. It is 97% accurate for people who
Rama09 [41]
If the test gives a positive result for an infected person 98% of the time, that means that 2% of the time, it gives a negative result for an infected person, which would be a false negative.

If the test is 97% accurate for non-infected people, that means that it gives a negative result 97% of the time. So a positive result will be given 3% of the time for non-infected people, which is a false positive.
