Answer:

$P=19y+15$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

Given data

dimension of the rectangle

Width = 8y-1.5

Length = 1.5y+9

Required

The expression to represents the Perimeter

Step two:

the perimeter of a rectangle is expressed as

$P= 2L+2W\\\\P=2(1.5y+9)+2(8y-1.5)\\\\P=3y+18+16y-3\\\\$

collect like terms

$P=3y+16y+18-3\\\\P=19y+15$

A circle has a radius of 7.5 centimeters and a central angle AOB that measures 90 degrees. What is the length of the intercepted

Julli [10]

Since there are $360^{\circ}$ in a circle, and central $\angle AOB = 90^{\circ}$ , you can see that the part "sliced out" by the central angle is $\frac{90^{\circ}}{360^{\circ}} = \frac{1}{4}$ of the whole circle.

This means that the length of the intercepted arc $\stackrel{\frown}{AB}$ is $\frac{1}{4}$ of the circumference of the circle. So,

$\stackrel{\frown}{AB} = \frac{1}{4}(2 \pi r) = \frac{1}{4}(2 \pi (7.5 cm)) = \bf \frac{15 \pi}{4} cm$

Natalija [7]

Answer:

y = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Expand the logarithm:

$\log_y{(5)}+\log_y{(y)}=2\\\\\dfrac{\log{(5)}}{\log{(y)}}+1=2 \quad\text{change of base formula}\\\\\dfrac{\log{(5)}}{\log{(y)}}=1 \quad\text{subtract 1}\\\\\log{(5)}=\log{(y)} \quad\text{multiply by log(y)}\\\\5=y \quad\text{take the anti-log}$
