Answer:

Height is 5.3 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

2* base + 2*height = 35.8

2*12.6 + 2h = 35.8

h = (35.8 - 2(12.6) / 2

= (35.8 - 25.2) /2

= 10.6 / 2

= 5.3 inches.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of a perimeter of a rectangle:

$P=2(l+w)$

l - length

w - width

We have

$P=35.8in\\l=12.6in$

Substitute:

$35.8=2(12.6+w)$ divide both sides by 2

$\dfrac{35.8}{2}=\dfrac{2(12.6+w)}{2}$

$17.9=12.6+w$ subtract 12.6 from both sides

$17.9-12.6=12.6-12.6+w\\\\5.3=w\to w=5.3\ (in)$

You’re gonna have to use the quadratic formula here and a bit of thinking. We know y is height, and once it touches the ground, it will be 0.

(-b +- sqrt b^2 - 4ac)/2a
2 +- sqrt(4 + 48(400))/-32
(2 +- 138.58)/-32
We don’t want a negative time because it’ll make no sense. So do subtraction

(2-138.58)/-32 = 4.27 seconds aka 4.3 seconds

What is the value of x? see attachment below

Answer:

x = 31

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter is the sum of the equal-length sides:

63 = (x -10) +(x -10) +(x -10)

63 = 3x -30 . . . . . . . . collect terms

21 = x -10 . . . . . . . . . . divide by 3

31 = x . . . . . . . . . . . . . add 10
