Answer:

Length = 10.435 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length be l

Let the width be w

Since the length is 9 inches more than half the width.

Then;

L = 0.5w + 9

Perimeter of a rectangle is;

P = 2Lw

Thus;

P = 2w(0.5w + 9)

Since perimeter = 60

Then;

2w(0.5w + 9) = 60

w² + 18w = 60

w² + 18w - 60 = 0

From quadratic formula;

w ≈ 2.87 in

L = 0.5(2.87) + 9

L = 10.435 in

EleoNora [17]

Answer:

See below:

Step-by-step explanation:

If we do this, we know that 2 gallons takes 14 seconds. (2:14)

Based on that data, we can know that 1 gallon takes 7 seconds. (1:7)

-> 2/14 = 1/7

Now we can multiply by 12 to get 12 gallons on one side.

What we do on one side has to happen to the other side.

So, 12 gallons * 1 gallons = 12 gallons and 12 gallons * 7 gallons = 84 gallons.

So the final answer is 85 gallons,

Elsa uses exactly 60 cubes of ice to build a rectangular ice prism. Each cube has side lengths of 1 unit. Enter the dimensions o
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

2, 5, 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a rectangular prism is given by V=l\cdot w\cdot h, where all variables to the right are dimensions of the prism.

Therefore, we're looking for three numbers that multiply to be 60.

Since the question stipulates that no side length may be 10, we have:

2\cdot 5\cdot 6=60
