Answer:

4 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The side of the square will be the average of the two sides of the rectangle with the same perimeter.

Formulas for the perimeters are ...

P = 2(L+W)

P = 4s

Equating these gives ...

4s = 2(L+W)

s = (L +W)/2 . . . . . divide by 4

For the given side lengths, ...

s = (2 cm +6 cm)/2 = (8/2) cm = 4 cm

The length of one side of the square is 4 cm.

The ratio of white flour to whole wheat flour in a bread recipe is 2:3. The recipe uses 10 cups of flour. How much of each type

lesantik [10]

This means that 2/5 is white and 3/5 is whole wheat, so 2/5 of 10=4 cups of white, 3/5 of 10=6 cups of whole wheat.

bonufazy [111]

$10d ≥ $800 Your answer is D

[they get $10 per donation(d), and they need at least $800 (that is the minimum, so they can raise more than $800).]

Check the picture below, so the park looks more or less like so, with the paths in red, so let's find those midpoints.

$~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{middle point of 2 points } \\\\ J(\stackrel{x_1}{-3}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{1})\qquad K(\stackrel{x_2}{1}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{3}) \qquad \left(\cfrac{ x_2 + x_1}{2}~~~ ,~~~ \cfrac{ y_2 + y_1}{2} \right) \\\\\\ \left(\cfrac{ 1 -3}{2}~~~ ,~~~ \cfrac{ 3 +1}{2} \right) \implies \left(\cfrac{ -2 }{2}~~~ ,~~~ \cfrac{ 4 }{2} \right)\implies JK=(-1~~,~~2) \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill$

$~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{middle point of 2 points } \\\\ L(\stackrel{x_1}{5}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-1})\qquad M(\stackrel{x_2}{-1}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{-3}) \qquad \left(\cfrac{ x_2 + x_1}{2}~~~ ,~~~ \cfrac{ y_2 + y_1}{2} \right) \\\\\\ \left(\cfrac{ -1 +5}{2}~~~ ,~~~ \cfrac{ -3 -1}{2} \right) \implies \left(\cfrac{ 4 }{2}~~~ ,~~~ \cfrac{ -4 }{2} \right)\implies LM=(2~~,~~-2) \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill$

$~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{distance between 2 points} \\\\ JK(\stackrel{x_1}{-1}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{2})\qquad LM(\stackrel{x_2}{2}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{-2})\qquad \qquad d = \sqrt{( x_2- x_1)^2 + ( y_2- y_1)^2} \\\\\\ JKLM=\sqrt{(~~2 - (-1)~~)^2 + (~~-2 - 2~~)^2} \\\\\\ JKLM=\sqrt{(2 +1)^2 + (-2 - 2)^2} \implies JKLM=\sqrt{( 3 )^2 + ( -4 )^2} \\\\\\ JKLM=\sqrt{ 9 + 16 } \implies JKLM=\sqrt{ 25 }\implies \boxed{JKLM=5}$

now, let's check the other path, JM and KL

$~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{middle point of 2 points } \\\\ J(\stackrel{x_1}{-3}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{1})\qquad M(\stackrel{x_2}{-1}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{-3}) \qquad \left(\cfrac{ x_2 + x_1}{2}~~~ ,~~~ \cfrac{ y_2 + y_1}{2} \right) \\\\\\ \left(\cfrac{ -1 -3}{2}~~~ ,~~~ \cfrac{ -3 +1}{2} \right) \implies \left(\cfrac{ -4 }{2}~~~ ,~~~ \cfrac{ -2 }{2} \right)\implies JM=(-2~~,~~-1) \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill$

$~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{middle point of 2 points } \\\\ K(\stackrel{x_1}{1}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{3})\qquad L(\stackrel{x_2}{5}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{-1}) \qquad \left(\cfrac{ x_2 + x_1}{2}~~~ ,~~~ \cfrac{ y_2 + y_1}{2} \right) \\\\\\ \left(\cfrac{ 5 +1}{2}~~~ ,~~~ \cfrac{ -1 +3}{2} \right) \implies \left(\cfrac{ 6 }{2}~~~ ,~~~ \cfrac{ 2 }{2} \right)\implies KL=(3~~,~~1) \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill$

$~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{distance between 2 points} \\\\ JM(\stackrel{x_1}{-2}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-1})\qquad KL(\stackrel{x_2}{3}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{1})\qquad \qquad d = \sqrt{( x_2- x_1)^2 + ( y_2- y_1)^2} \\\\\\ JMKL=\sqrt{(~~3 - (-2)~~)^2 + (~~1 - (-1)~~)^2} \\\\\\ JMKL=\sqrt{(3 +2)^2 + (1 +1)^2} \implies JMKL=\sqrt{( 5 )^2 + ( 2 )^2} \\\\\\ JMKL=\sqrt{ 25 + 4 } \implies \boxed{JMKL=\sqrt{ 29 }}$

so the red path will be $5~~ + ~~\sqrt{29} ~~ \approx ~~ \blacksquare~~ 10 ~~\blacksquare$
