Answer:

t needs 68 feet to enclose the garden.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem, we are to solve the sides of a parallelogram ABCD to know the measurement to enclose a garden.

Take note that a parallelogram has two equal lengths and two equal widths. Let us assume that the parallelogram AB = CD is the length and AD = BC is the width.

Solving the problem

First, let us solve for r using the condition AD = BC

AD = BC

3r + 8 = 2r + 12

Simplify the equation

3r - 2r = 12 - 8

r = 4

Next, let us substitute the value of r to AB, BC, CD, and AD.

For AB:

AB = 4r - 2

AB = 4(4) - 2

AB = 16 - 2 = 14

For BC:

BC = 2r + 12

BC = 2(4) + 12

BC = 8 + 12 = 20

For AD:

AD = 3r + 8

AD = 3(4) + 8

AD = 12 + 8 = 20

For CD:

But AB = CD Therefore, CD = 14

Finally, let us solve the perimeter of the parallelogram

Perimeter = AB + BC + CD + AD

Perimeter = 14 + 20 + 20 + 14

Perimeter = 68 feet

Therefore, the fencing needed to enclose the garden is 68 feet.

A line with a slope of 2 passes through (3,9). Which choice is an equation of this line?
Veronika [31]

Answer:

The answer to your question is number 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

slope = m = 2

Point = (3, 9)

Process

1.- Write the equation of the line in the form point-slope

               y - y1 = m(x - x1)

2.- Identify the values of x1 and y1

        x1 = 3   y1 = 9

3.- Substitution

               y - 9 = 2(x - 3)

4.- Simplify

              y - 9 = 2x - 6

              y = 2x - 6 + 9

5.- Result

              y = 2x + 3       slope y-intercept form

Find the slope of the line.
pickupchik [31]
There are several ways to do this.
I'll show you two methods.

1) Pick two points on the line and use the slope formula.
Look for two points that are easy to read. It is best if the points are on grid line intersections. For example, you can see points (-4, -1) and (0, -2) are easy to read.
Now we use the slope formula.

slope = m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

Call one point (x1, y1), and call the other point (x2, y2).
Plug in the x1, x2, y1, y2 values in the formula and simplify the fraction.

Let's call point (-4, -1) point (x1, y1).
Then x1 = -4, and y1 = -1.
Let's call point (0, -2) point (x2, y2).
Then x2 = 0, and y2 = -2.

Plug in values into the formula:

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) = (-2 - (-1))/(0 - (-4)) = (-2 + 1)/(0 + 4) = -1/4

The slope is -1/4

2) Pick two points on the graph and use rise over run.
The slope is equal to the rise divided by the run.
Run is how much you go up or down.
Rise is how much you go right or left.

Pick two easy to read points.
We can use the same points we used above, (-4, -1) and (-0, -2).
Start at point (0, -2).
How far up or down do you need to go to get to point (-4, -1)?
Answer: 1 unit up, or +1.
The rise is +1.
Now that we went up 1, how far do you go left or right top go to point (-4, -1)?
Answer: 4 units to the left. Going left is negative, so the run is -4.
Slope = rise/run = +1/-4 = -1/4

As you can see we got the same slope using both methods.

Determine if the expression -8c-9c^4d^2−8c−9c
Leto [7]

Answer:

-8c-9c^4d^2-8c-9c is a polynomial of type binomial and has a degree 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the polynomial expression

-8c-9c^4d^2-8c-9c

Group like terms

=-9c^4d^2-8c-8c-9c

Add similar elements: -8c-8c-9c=-25c

=-9c^4d^2-25c

Thus, the polynomial is in two variables and contains two, unlike terms. Therefore, it is a 'binomial' with two, unlike terms.

Each term has a degree equal to the sum of the exponents on the variables.

The degree of the polynomial is the greatest of those.

25c has a degree 1

-9c^4d^2 has a degree 6.   (adding the exponents of two variables 'c' and 'd').

Thus,

-8c-9c^4d^2-8c-9c is a polynomial of type binomial and has a degree 6.
