Answer:

40

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is  P = 2l + 2w.  Since the length is 8 times the width, l = 8w.  You can plug this into the equation.

<em>P = 2(8w) + 2w</em>

<em>P = 16w + 2w</em>

P = 18w

Now, plug in the given value for perimeter, and solve for w.

<em>90 = 18w</em>

<em>(90)/18 = (18w)/18</em>

5 = w

Since the width is equal to 5, you can now solve for l.

<em>l = 8w</em>

<em>l = 8(5)</em>

l = 40

The length of the diagonal is equal to 40.

Your friend is 1.2 times taller than you. Your friend is 64.5 inches tall. How tall are you?
Andru [333]
You are X, if your friend is 1.2 times taller than you= 1.2X
That's why 64.5=1.2X
                   X=53.75
But you should write 53.8 inches tall. Because there is one number after point.
<span>As a result, you are 53.8 inches tall

Which shows the equation 3y – x = 6 written in slope-intercept form?
laila [671]
Slope intercept form : y = mx + b

3y - x = 6 ....add x to both sides
3y = x + 6 ...divide both sides by 3
y = x/3 + 2 <== slope intercept form
