Answer:

5cm by 1.95cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the rectangle be x

Let the width be y

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2x + 2y

If the initial perimeter of a rectangle is about 13.9 cm, then;

13.9 = 2x + 2y ..... 1

If when the width is double the perimeter is 17.8cm, then;

17.8 = 2x + 4y ..... 2

Subtract 1 from 2;

13.9 - 17.8 = 2y - 4y

- 3.9 = -2y

y = 3.9/2

y = 1.95 cm

Substitute y = 1.95 into 1 to get x;

From 1;

13.9 = 2x + 2y

13.9 = 2x + 2(1.95)

13.9 = 2x + 3.9

2x = 13.9-3.9

2x = 10

x = 5 cm

Hence the dimension of the smaller triangle is 5cm by 1.95cm

Using the slope and the y intercept, graph the line represented by the following equation.
PtichkaEL [24]
Beforehand let me apologize for my sloppy handwriting. I'm a lefty, so please deal with me. . Anyway, the equation you listed didn't really have a x, because a linear equation is y= mx+b, and anything with x is the slope. But I did see y and a number on one side, so I'm like maybe I can get these two alone. So here's what I did:

2y + 4=0
-4 -4 I subtracted 4 on both sides. Why because you would want "y" alone.
Next,
2y= -4
Now to get "y" alone you want to divide on both sides.
2y= -4/ 2
y= -2
Now you're probably thinking "how do you graph it? There's no "x" in the equation." Well, you just graph it. Since the answer is y= -2, you go to the y axis, look for -2, and place a line to indicate that is the equation. And to make it clear, remember y is the y-intercept.

I really do hope this helps you, if not message me. I'll be happy to help, and again I'm sorry for my handwriting!

Which of the following expressions can be factored by grouping? (Select all that apply.)
Greeley [361]

Answer:

Options (3), (4) and (5)

Step-by-step explanation:

1). a² - 9a + 7ab + 63b

  = a(a - 9) + 7b(a + 9)

  Now we can not solve this problem further.

  Therefore, can't be factored by grouping.

2). 3a + 4ab - b - 12

   = a(3 + 4b) - 1(b - 12)

   We can't solve it further.

   Therefore, can't be factored by grouping.

3). ab + 6b - 2a - 12

   = b(a + 6) - 2(a + 6)

   = (b - 2)(a + 6)

  We can be factored this expression by grouping.

4). x³ + 9x²+ 7x + 63

   = x²(x + 9) + 7(x + 9)

   = (x² + 7)(x + 9)

   Therefore, the given expression can be factored by grouping.

5). ay² + a - y² - 1

  = a(y² + 1) - 1(y² + 1)

  = (a - 1)(y² + 1)

  This expression can be factored by the grouping method.

Options (3), (4) and (5) are the correct answers.

Problem 1
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

The hypotenuse measures 8.48 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a right isosceles triangle has legs of 6 meters long each, to find the length of the hypotenuse to the nearest tenth of a meter the following calculation must be performed, through the application of the Pythagorean theorem:

6 ^ 2 + 6 ^ 2 = X ^ 2

36 + 36 = X ^ 2

√ 72 = X

8.48 = X

Therefore, the hypotenuse measures 8.48 meters.
