Answer:

LM = 1.5

LN = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given:

M is the midpoint of LN

LM = 3x

LN= 2x + 2

LM =.?

Next, we shall determine the value of x. This is illustrated below:

Since M is the midpoint of LN, it means that when we divide LN by 2 the result will be LM i.e

LN /2 = LM

With the above formula, we can obtain the value of x as follow:

LN= 2x + 2

LM = 3x

x =..?

LN /2 = LM

2x + 2/ 2 = 3x

Cross multiply

2 × 3x = 2x + 2

6x = 2x + 2

Collect like terms

6x - 2x = 2

4x = 2

Divide both side by 4

x = 2/4

x = 0.5

Finally, we can obtain LM and LN as follow:

LM = 3x

x = 0.5

LM = 3 × 0.5

LM = 1.5

LN= 2x + 2

x = 0.5

LN = 2(0.5) + 2

LN = 1 + 2

LN = 3

amm1812

Length (L): 2w + 3

width (w): w

border (b): \frac{1}{4} w

Area (A) = (L + b) * (w + b)   <em>NOTE: This is assuming the width also has a border</em>

              = (2w + 3 + \frac{1}{4} w) * (w + \frac{1}{4} w)

              = (2\frac{1}{4} w + 3)(1\frac{1}{4} w)

              = (\frac{9}{4} w + 3)(\frac{5}{4} w)

              = \frac{45}{16} w^2 + \frac{15}{4}w

gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

It's not possible to reach a conclusion about who will vote candidate Taylor because this is a random sample and not a population census or experiment.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is impossible to reach a conclusion about the proportion of all likely voters who plan to vote for candidate Taylor because the 1,000 likely voters in the sample represent only a small fraction of all likely voters in a large city.

V=LWH
SA=2(LW+LH+WH)
V=240
first check that they are 240 volume
multiply numbers they should equal 240

the first one (A) can be eliminated since the dimentions are the same and therefor the surface areas are the same

2nd one check so far

3rd one (C) 6*4*15=360 which is wrong so eliminate this one

4th (d) 12*6*5=360 which is not 240 so eliminate

Tom planted 1/2 of an 8-ft by 9-ft garden with vegetables. He planted tomatoes in 1/3 of the vegetable garden and corn in the re
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

Corn was planted in 24 sq.ft. of the vegetable garden.

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of garden = 9 ft

width of garden = 8 ft

Hence we will first find the total area of garden.

Total area of garden = length × width = 8 \times 9 = 72ft^2

He planted 1/2 of the garden with vegetables.

Hence.

Area of Vegetables garden = \frac{1}{2}\times \textrm{Total Area of Garden} = \frac{1}{2}\times 72 = 36ft^2

He planted tomatoes in 1/3 of the vegetable garden and corn in the rest

Area in which tomatoes was planted = \frac{1}{3}\times \textrm{Area of Vegetables Garden} = \frac{1}{3}\times 36 = 12ft^2

Hence Area in which corn were planted = Area of Vegetables garden - Area in which tomatoes was planted = 36ft^2-12ft^2=24ft^2

Hence Area of vegetable garden in which corn was planted is 24 sq.ft.
