Perimeter is the sum of the two lengths plus the sum of the two widths.

Divide the perimeter in half and that is the sum of one length and one width.

27/2  = 13.5

The ratio is 2:1, add the ratio: 2 +1 = 3

Divide the sum by 3:

13.5/3 = 1.5

Multiply that the each portion of the ratio:

4.5 x 2 = 9

4.5 x 1 = 4.5

The length is 9 inches

The width is 4.5 inches

Answer:

4 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the height of the tower when finished.

We have been given that Priya takes a break when the tower is 2 and 1/2 feet tall, which is 5/8 of the height of the tower she wants to build.

This means that 5/8 of x equals 2 and 1/2. Let us represent this information in an equation.

5/8*x=2 and 1/2

Let us convert our given mixed fraction into an improper fraction.

5/8*x=5/2

Let us multiply both sides of our equation by 8/5.

8/5*5/8*x=5/2*8/5

x=8/2

x=4

Find the equation of a circle whose endpoints of the diameter are (15, - 3) and (7,3). The equation of the circle is (Simplify y
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

(x - 11)² + y² = 25

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the center

O = ( (15 +7 / 2), (-3 + 3)/2 )

O = (11, 0)

Then find the radius squared

use the distance formula from the center to either end point of the diameter

r² = (15 - 11)² + (-3 - 0)²

r² = 16 + 9

r² = 25

Formula for circle

(x - h)² + (y - k)² = r²

(h, k) is the center = (11, 0)

The equation is

(x - 11)² + y² = 25

If P = (-2,-1) and Q = (4,3) are the
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

P(-2,-1) and Q(4,3)

average of x-coordinates = (-2+4)/2 = 1

average of y-coordinates = (-1+3)/2 = 1

midpoint of PQ: (1,1)

distance between midpoint and Q = √((4-1)²+(3-1)²) = √13

(x-1)² + (y-1)² = 13
