Answer:

y = 6.5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Let L be the length of sides of the square.

Given the following data;

Perimeter of square = 8y - 12

Area of square = 100 square units

To find the value of y;

Area of a square = L²

Substituting into the formula, we have;

100 = L²

L = √100

L = 10 units

Mathematically, the perimeter of a square is given by the formula;

Perimeter of a square = 4L

Substituting into the formula, we have;

8y - 12 = 4*10

8y - 12 = 40

8y = 40 + 12

8y = 52

y = 52/8

y = 6.5 units

Answer:

y=6.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter is 8y-12

Side=(Perimeter)/4=(8y-12)/4=2y-3

Area=(Side)^2

100=(2y-3)^2

2y-3=10

y=6.5

Solve for xif mZRQS = 2x+4 and mZTQS = 6x+ 20. 180 19.5 -4 90

Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

x= -4

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+4=6x+20

so 2x-6x=20-4

divide both sides by -4

-4x/-4 = 16/4

=-4

A map is laid out in the standard (x,y) coordinate plane. How long, in units, is an airplane's path on the map as the airplane f

xeze [42]

Answer:

Distance between the points A and B is 15.52 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

It has been given in the question that an airplane flies along a straight line from City A to City B.

Map has been laid out in the (x, y) coordinate plane and the coordinates of these cities are A(20, 14) and B(5, 10).

Distance between two points A'(x, y) and B'(x', y') is represented by the formula,

d = $\sqrt{(x-x')^{2}+(y-y')^{2}}$

So we plug in the values of (x, y) and (x', y') in the formula,

d = $\sqrt{(20-5)^{2}+(14-10)^{2}}$

d = $\sqrt{(15)^{2}+(4)^{2}}$

d = $\sqrt{225+16}$

d = 15.52

Therefore, distance between the points A and B is 15.52 units.

Lisa [10]

Answer:

See attachment

Step-by-step explanation:

The given inequality is $|x|>1$

By the definition of the absolute value function, we obtain the compound inequality.

$-x>1\:or\:x>1$

When we simplify we get:

$x1$

?? please help with this

mestny [16]

Answer:

The Third one

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the y is not included in the function ( see some lines ) and x is the same thing but it is larger than -3 and it is included in the function .

I hope that it's a clear solution and explanation.
