<h3>Answer: Short piece is 27 inches</h3>

Long piece is 81 inches

====================================================

Explanation:

x = length of short piece

3x = length of the longer piece (3 times longer)

x+3x = 4x = total length

total length = 108

So 4x = 108 is the equation which solves to x = 27 after dividing both sides by 4.

The short piece is x = 27 inches and the long piece is 3*x = 3*27 = 81 inches. Adding the two pieces gives 27+81 = 108 which helps confirm the answer.

Answer:

-23

Step-by-step explanation:

rearrange to point slope form first

slope can be fine by y2-y1/x2-x1 (im using the first 2 points)

so 13-25 = -12 and -54-(-72) = 18, and the slope is -12/18 which is -2/3

then you can use any point (i used the first point) to create the point slope form which is y-ypoint=slope(x-xpoint) and equation would be y-25=-2/3(x+72)

turn it into slope intercept form by multiplying -2/3 within the equation and adding -25 on both sides

you will get y= -2/3x-23

and the y intercept will be (0, -23)

Some rectangles are not parallelograms
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

I'm not sure what your asking, but, no, all rectangles are parallelograms.

I found this over the internet, and I hope it helps you understand why a rectangle is always a parallelogram, but a parallelogram is not always a rectangle:

It is true that every rectangle is a parallelogram, but it is not true that every parallelogram is not a rectangle. For instance, take a square. It's a parallelogram — it is a quadrilateral with two pairs of parallel faces. But it is also a rectangle — it is a quadrilateral with four right angles.

Find the area of the four walls of a cubical room whose side measures 5m. Find the cost of white washing the room at the rate of
NikAS [45]
We know that one wall side is 5m.
To find the area of one wall, we do 5²=25m²
We know there is 4 walls. So we have to find total area of all four walls.
Which is 25×4=100m²
To find the total cost of white washing the room, we have to do:
100(total area)×23(cost per m²)=$2300
So the total cost of the area is $2300
