Answer:

w= 6

Step-by-step explanation:

I just started by making an educated guess using the values already given. Then I inserted that into the problem to see if it worked.

L= 2w - 5

I used 6 as a random, educated guess for the value of w.

L = 2(6) - 5

L = 12-5

L = 7

Then, multiply L by 2 to account for both side lengths of the rectangle.

7(2)= 14

Subtract that value from the total perimeter to find what the width must equal.

26 - 14 = 12

Divide that answer by 2 since there are two sides for width.

12/2 = 6

I know this was kind of long, but I hope it helps! :)

Find the area of the circle to the nearest whole number, if necessary!
astra-53 [7]

Answer:

The circle has an area of about 1385 square mm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's recall that circles have an area that can be found with the following formula:

A=\pi r^{2}

where r is the radius of the circle.

Now, focus your eyes on the circle. We are shown that the diameter of this circle is 42 mm, but we only want the radius. Since the radius is half the diameter, the radius is 21 mm. Now, we can solve for the area of the circle.

A=\pi (21)^2\\A=441\pi \\A=1385.44236...

So, to the nearest whole number, the area of the circle is 1385 square mm.

what percentage of people choose baseball or soccer as their favorite sport there is a circle 25% play basketball 35% play footb
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

  35% chose baseball or soccer

Step-by-step explanation:

  baseball or soccer = 20% + 15% = 35%

_____

The categories add to 100%, so are mutually exclusive, as you expect when they are "favorite sport" categories. Hence the union of two of them will be their sum. (Otherwise, you'd have to subtract the amount by which the categories overlap.)

Which choice correctly shows rounding to the hundredths place?
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]
Choice A is false because they are rounding to the nearest tenth (one decimal place) and not nearest hundredth (two decimal places)

Choice B is false as well because 3.825 should round to 3.83. The 5 at the end tells you to round up. 

Choice C is false too. The value 3.824 should round to 3.82. Not sure how they got 3.81, so it seems like a deliberate trick question or silly answer.

Choice D is true. The three decimal values are rounded properly to the correct number of decimal places. 

Therefore choice D is the answer
