Answer: 6 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a 4-foot by 8-foot rectangular piece of plywood will be cut into 4 congruent rectangles with no wood left over and no wood lost due to the cuts

Let assume that the 4 rectangles will be of the same area since they are congruent.

The area of the big rectangle will be

Area = 4 × 8 = 32

Divide 32 by 4

32/4 = 8

Suggest the two possible numbers in which their product will be equal to 8

4 and 2 or 8 and 1

If 4 and 2

The perimeter = 2L + 2B

Substitute the 4 and 2 into the formula

Perimeter = 2(4) + 2(2)

Perimeter = 8 + 4

Perimeter = 12

If 8 and 1

Perimeter = 2(8) + 2(1)

Perimeter = 16 + 2 = 18

The positive difference, in feet, between the greatest possible perimeter of a single piece and the least possible perimeter of a single piece will be:

18 - 12 = 6 feet

What is the solution to the system of equation <br><br> -2x+6y=-38<br> 3x-4y=32
Alla [95]

Answer:

x= 4

y= -5

Step-by-step explanation:

-2x+6y=-38    equation 1

3x-4y=32     equation 2

using equation 1 we have:

-2x+6y=-38  

6y +38 = 2x

3y + 19 = x   equation 3

using equation 3 in equation 2 we have:

3(3y + 19) - 4y = 32

9y + 57 -4y =32

5y = 32 -57

5y = -25

y= -25/5

y = -5

so we have:

3y + 19 = x  

3(-5) +19 = x

x= 4

--2m + 4n2 for m = -6 and n=-5<br> Evaluate the expression
Tamiku [17]

Answer: 112

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we were given m and n, we plug them into the expression and solve.

-2(-6)+4(-5)²            [exponent]

-2(-6)+4(25)            [multiply]

12+100                     [add]

112

Now, we know that the value of the expression is 112.
