Answer:

The possible values of the perimeter of the rectangle is between 18 and

18.4 cm ⇒ [18 < perimeter of rectangle < 18.4] cm

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

- The perimeter of any quadrilateral is the sum of the length of its

  four sides

- The rectangle is a quadrilateral with each two opposite sides are

  equal in lengths, then its perimeter = 2l + 2w, where l, w are its

  length and width

∵ The the length of the rectangle is a

∵ 5.4 < a < 5.5 cm

∵ The perimeter of the rectangle = 2a + 2b

- Lets multiply the inequality by 2

∴ 5.4 × 2 < a × 2 < 5.5 × 2

∴ 10.8 < 2a < 11 ⇒ (1)

∵ The width of the rectangle is b

∵ 3.6 < b < 3.7 cm

- Lets multiply the inequality by 2

∴ 3.6 × 2 < b × 2 < 3.7 × 2

∴ 7.2 < 2b < 7.4 ⇒ (2)

- <u><em>Add inequalities (1) and (2)</em></u>

∵     10.8 < 2a < 11

  +   7.2 < 2b < 7.4

∴  18 < 2a + 2b < 18.4

∵ 2a + 2b represents the perimeter of the rectangle

∴ The possible values of the perimeter of the rectangle is between

  18 and 18.4 cm ⇒ [18 < perimeter of rectangle < 18.4] cm

Answer: y= -3x + 4
Explanation: As the general equation of line is y= mx + c where m is the slope of the line and c is the y intercept.
=> for m we need to find the slope of line which is y2 - y1/ x2 - x1
=> 7-1/ -1-1 = 6/-2 = -3
and as we can in the diagram the y intercept is 4
that means our equation for the given line is y = -3x + 4.

What does 5/7c=13/14 equal
natita [175]
To find c, you must isolate it.
To do this, you must divide both sides by 5/7, since that is being multiplied by c and you must do the inverse to it to cancel it out in order to leave c by itself.

5/7c ÷ 5/7 = c

13/14 ÷ 5/7
To divide fractions, follow these steps:
Step 1- Turn the second fraction, 5/7 in this case, into its reciprocal. This means swapping the places of the numerator and denominator.
5/7 reciprocal = 7/5

Step 2- multiply the original first fraction and reciprocal second fraction.
13/14 • 7/5
13 • 7 = 91
14 • 5 = 70
13/14 ÷ 5/7 = 91/70

Step 3- Simplify if possible.
91/70
Since 70 can go into 90, you can turn this into a mixed number.
1 and 21/70
Now simplify 21/70.
Both can be divided by 7.
21 ÷ 7 = 3
70 ÷ 7 = 10
So simplified, 91/70 equals 1 and 3/10.
As a decimal, this is 1.3.

So the answer is c = 1.3, or 1 and 3/10.

Hope this helps :)

Which number belongs to the solution set of the equation below?
ollegr [7]
The correct answer would be: C. 44
Explanation: If you're trying to find out x's value, you have to do the inverse operation which means if it's subtraction, you add. So to find x's value, you'd add 36 + 8 = x. And 36 + 8 = 44. So therefore, x = 44. That means the answer is C.
