The perimeter of a rectangle is (8x + 7y) feet, give two possible dimensions of the rectangle

ZanzabumX [31]3 years ago

Answer:

<em>Two possible dimensions of the rectangle are 4x and 7/2 y.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>The Perimeter of a Rectangle</u>

It's given the perimeter of a rectangle is

P = 8x + 7y

The formula to calculate the perimeter of a rectangle of dimensions L and W is:

P = 2W + 2L

Equating term by term, we can guess two possible dimensions of the rectangle:

2W = 8x

Dividing by 2:

W = 4x

And also:

2L = 7y

Dividing by 2:

L = 7/2 y

Thus, two possible dimensions of the rectangle are 4x and 7/2 y.

Simora [160]
24 : 8 = 3 : 1 because 24 divided by 8 = 3 so
3 = 1

7 : 35 = 1 : 5 because 35 divided by 7 is 5 so
5 = 1

An aquarium is in the shape of a cube. The aquarium can hold between 4096 cubic inches and 8000 cubic inches of water. What are
pantera1 [17]

Answer: The possible side lengths are either 16 inches or 20 inches

Step-by-step explanation: The aquarium is in the shape of a cube which suggests that, all dimensions (length, width and height) are equal.

If it can hold 4096 cubic inches of water, then the volume of water in it can be calculated as follows;

Volume = L x W x H

Knowing that all three dimensions are the same the formula can be re-written as;

Volume = L³

4096 = L³

Add the cube root sign to both sides of the equation

∛4096 = ∛L³

16 = L

Also if it can hold up to 8000 cubic inches of water, then the volume of water in it can be calculated as;

Volume = L³

8000 = L³

Add the cube root sign to both sides of the equation

∛8000 = ∛L³

20 = L

Therefore, if the aquarium can hold between 4096 and 8000 cubic inches of water, then the side lengths are either 16 inches or 20 inches

A pet store sold 36 Siamese cats. If the ratio of Siamese cats to house cats sold was 4:9, what is the combined amount of cats s
Dafna11 [192]

 The combined amount of cats sold is 117.

Ratio expresses the relationship between two variables. It shows the frequency of which that one value is contained within another variable.

The ratio of  Siamese cats to house cats = 4 : 9

Number of Siamese cats = 36

Number of combined cats = c

This equation can be formed using the above information:

4/13 x c = 36

4c = 468

c = 468 / 4

c = 117
