Answer:

The length is equal to 12 and the width is equal to 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the values here, we start by setting the width equal to x. Now knowing this, we know that the length is twice that long. Therefore, the length would be equal to 2x. Now we can use the perimeter formula to solve the equation.

2L + 2W = P

2(2x) + 2(x) = P

4x + 2x = 36

6x = 36

x = 6

Now with the given value for x, we can tell that the width is 6 and then we multiply it by 2 to get the length value (12).

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:   L= 12, W = 6

Discussion:

Let "L' be the length of the rectangle,"w" its width, and P its perimeter. We are told that

L = 2W            (*)

and

P = 36

Since the Perimeter of a rectangle = 2L + 2W we have

2L + 2W = 36

From  (*) above L = 2W  so substituting this into the last equation gives:

2L + L = 36

which gives 3L = 36 or L = 12. Since the Width is 1/2 the length, W = 12/2 = 6

If the point (x, square root 3/2) is on the unit circle, what is x?
photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

\frac{1}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

On a unit circle, the only points where y = \frac{\sqrt{3} }{2} have an x coordinate of \frac{1}{2} or \frac{-1}{2} . Since only one of those is an option, the answer is \frac{1}{2}.

How to get the greatest common of 45 and 81
erastova [34]
Find the factors and get the ones common to both of them

45=3 times 3 times 5
81=3 times 3 times 3 times 3
so the factors common to both are 3 times 3 which is 9

Determine the center and radius: x2 + y2 - 10x + 8y -8 = 0​
Kipish [7]

So our equation currently is ⇒ x^2+y^2-10x+8y-8 = 0

<u>Let's first move all the constant to one side and group 'like variables' together</u>:

      (x^2-10x)+(y^2+8y) = 8

<u>Now lets complete the square of both equations</u>

    (x^2-10x+25)+(y^2+8y +16) = 8 + 25 + 16\\(x-5)^2+(y+4)^2 = 49\\(x-5)^2+(y+4)^2 = 7^2

<u><em>Now we know the circle's general equation format is</em></u>:

   ⇒(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2 = r^2

  • (h, k) ⇒ coordinate of the center of the circle
  • r ⇒ length of radius of circle

<u>Thus the radius of the circle is 7</u>

<u></u>

Hope that helps!

Fill in the blanks to complete the area model to solve 6.60 divided by 15 is the same as _ x ? = _ 6.60 = _ hundredths
storchak [24]

Answer:

15 x = 6.60

x = 44\ hundredths

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\frac{6.60}{15}

Required

Complete the model

[ ] x = 6.60

x = _ hundredths

\frac{6.60}{15}

Equate to x

x = \frac{6.60}{15}

Multiply both sides by 15

15 * x = \frac{6.60}{15} * 15

15 * x = 6.60

15 x = 6.60

So, we have:

[ ] x = 6.60 =====> 15 x = 6.60

Recall that:

x = \frac{6.60}{15}

x = 0.44

This implies that:

x = 44\ hundredths

Hence:

x = _ hundredths =====> x = 44\ hundredths
