140= x +3x
140 =4x
140/4= 4x/4
35= x
3x= 105
The length of the longer piece is 105 feet

Answer:

The length of the longer piece is 35 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the longer piece is x

Hence, length of the shorter piece is 3x

Now, the length of the rope is 140 ft. Thus, we have the equation

x+3x=140

Add the like terms. x+3x=4x

4x=140

Divide both sides by 4

x=35

Therefore, the length of the longer piece is 35 feet.

A circle is centered at the point (-3, 2) and passes through the point (1, 5). The radius of the circle is ___ units. The point
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

The radius is 5 units

(-7,-1) and (-7,5) lies on the circle

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the distance formula to find the distance between the center and the given point that gives you the radius.

d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}

The center is (-3,2) and the point on the circumference is (1,5)

r=\sqrt{(1--3)^2+(5-2)^2}

r=\sqrt{(4)^2+(3)^2}

r=\sqrt{16+9}

r=\sqrt{25}

\therefore r=5

The radius is 5 units.

The equation of the circle is given by:

(x--3)^2+(y-2)^2=5^2

(x+3)^2+(y-2)^2=25

When x=-7, we obtain y by substituting into the equation of the circle:

(-7+3)^2+(y-2)^2=25

(-4)^2+(y-2)^2=25

16+(y-2)^2=25

(y-2)^2=25-16

(y-2)^2=9

y-2=\pm \sqrt{9}

y=2\pm 3

y=-1 or y=5

Therefore (-7,-1) and (-7,5) lies on the circle.

A rectangle has a perimeter of 80 cm and its length is 1 cm more than twice its width. Find the dimensions of a rectangle given
zimovet [89]

Answer: (a) P = 6W + 2

(b) L = 2W + 1

(c) Width = 13cm

Length = 27cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for perimeter of a rectangle is 2(length + width). Since the length is 1 cm more than twice its width, then the length will be:

L = (2 × W) + 1

(b) L = 2W + 1

Therefore, P = 2(L + W)

P = 2( 2W + 1) + 2W

P = 4W + 2 + 2W

(a) P = 6W + 2

Since perimeter is given as 80cm. Therefore,

P = 6W + 2

6W + 2 = 80

6W = 80 - 2

6W = 78

W = 78/6

W = 13

Width is 13cm

Length = 2W + 1

Length = 2(13) + 1

Length = 27cm

9x-3x-5=19 solve for x
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer: x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify the left side of 9x-3x-5=19 by combining like terms:

6x-5=19

Add 5 to both sides:

(6x-5)+5=19+5

Simplify:

6x=24

Divide both sides by 6:

(6x)/6=24/6

Simplify:

x=4

I don’t understand any of this
AysviL [449]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given triangles in the picture attached,

∠A ≅ ∠X [Given]

∠B ≅ ∠Y [Given]

By AA property of similarity of the triangles, both the triangles will be similar.

ΔABC ~ ΔXZY

Similarity statement:

Corresponding sides of these similar triangles will be proportional.

\frac{XZ}{AB}= \frac{ZY}{BC}=\frac{XY}{AC}

Similarity ratio:

\frac{XY}{AC}=\frac{24}{16}

      = \frac{3}{2}

      = 3 : 2
