Answer:

Length of the garden = 10 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of a garden = 2(length + width)

Perimeter of the garden = 32 ft

Width of the garden = 6 ft

Length of the garden = x ft

Perimeter of a garden = 2(length + width)

32 = 2 ( x + 6 )

Open parenthesis

32 = 2x + 12

Subtract 12 from both sides

32 - 12 = 2x + 12 - 12

20 = 2x

Divide both sides by 2

20 / 2 = 2x / 2

10 = x

x = 10 ft

Therefore, length of the garden = x = 10 ft

What is the mean absolute?

alex41 [277]

Answer:

mean absolute deviation is <em>8</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

to find mean absolute deviation, you subtract your mean from each of your values, and make them all positive, (even if u get a negative..)

then you add all your new answers up and divide by how many numbers there are (basically just find mean of your new set of data...)

Which line is parallel to the line<br> shown below?

Travka [436]

<h3>Answer: Choice D</h3>

4x - 3y = 15

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

Explanation:

The two points (-1,-1) and (2,3) are marked on the line

Let's find the slope of the line through those two points.

$(x_1,y_1) = (-1,-1) \text{ and } (x_2,y_2) = (2,3)\\\\m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}\\\\m = \frac{3 - (-1)}{2 - (-1)}\\\\m = \frac{3 + 1}{2 + 1}\\\\m = \frac{4}{3}\\\\$

The slope is 4/3 meaning we go up 4 and to the right 3.

-------------

Parallel lines have equal slopes, but different y intercepts. We'll need to see which of the four answer choices have a slope of 4/3.

Solve the equation in choice A for y. The goal is to get it into y = mx+b form so we can determine the slope m.

$3x + 4y = -4\\\\4y = -3x-4\\\\y = -\frac{3}{4}x-\frac{4}{4}\\\\y = -\frac{3}{4}x-1$

Equation A has a slope of -3/4 and not 4/3 like we want.

Therefore, this answer choice is crossed off the list.

Follow similar steps for choices B through D. I'll show the slopes of each so you can check your work.

slope of equation B is 3/4
slope of equation C is -4/3
slope of equation D is 4/3

We have a match with equation D. Therefore, the equation 4x-3y = 15 is parallel to the given line shown in the graph.

You can use graphing tools like Desmos or GeoGebra to confirm the answer.

15 POINTS!!!!!! PLEASE HELP!!The length of a rectangle is four times its width. If the perimeter is at most 130 centimeters, wha

marin [14]

Here is the information we have:

1. The perimeter is at most 130 cm.
2. The length of the rectangle is 4 times the width.
We can let l stand for length and w for width.

The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is 2l + 2w.
We have to change the formula a bit.
The length of this rectangle is going to be 4 times the width
So, replace 2l with 2(4w).

Then make this equation equal to 130.

2(4w) + 2w = 130 ; Start
8w + 2w = 130 ; Distribute the 2 across the 4w
10w = 130 ; Combine the like terms 8w and 2w
w = 13 ; Divide both sides by the coefficient of w. Which is 10
