Answer:

The rectangle has a width of 18 inches and a height length of 8 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a rectangle is described by the equation:

p = 2w + 2l

where <em>l</em> is width, <em>h</em> is height, and <em>p</em> is perimeter.

We're also told that the total perimeter is 52 inches.

We're also told that the length is six inches less than three times the width.  We can express that as w = 3l - 6.

We can plug that definition of w into the perimeter equation to find the length:

p = 2w + 2l\\52 = 2(3l - 6) + 2 * l\\52 = 6l - 12 + 2l\\52 + 12 = 8l\\8l = 64\\l = 64/8\\l = 8

Now we can take that and the given perimeter, and substitute those into the perimeter equation to find the width:

p = 2w + 2l\\52 = 2w + 2(8)\\52 = 2w + 16\\36 = 2w\\w = 36 / 2\\w = 18

So the width is 18

What is the answer to this?

Answer:

\huge\boxed{-28}

Step-by-step explanation:

We can substitute the given values of a, b, and c to find the value of this expression.

-4 | a + b - c|

-4 | 3 + (-2) - (-6)|

We know that <em>two negatives make a positive. </em>This means that -2 - (-6) will be the same this as -2+6

-4 | 3 + -2 + 6|

Adding a negative is the same as subtracting a positive.

\4 | 3-2+6|\\\\3-2+6 = 7

-4 \cdot 7 = -28

Hope this helped!

dangina [55]

Answer:

19,200 cm^2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area = 1.2 * 1.6 = 1.92 m^2.

There are 100 cm to 1 meter,  so 1 square meter = 100^2 = 10,000 cm^2.

Therefore 1.92 m^2 = 10,000 * 1.92 =  19,200 cm^2.
