Answer:

504 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length and the width of the rectangle be L cm and W cm respectively.

Perimeter= 2(L +W)

2(L +W)= 108

L +W= 108 ÷2

L +W= 54

L= 54 -W -----(1)

\frac{L}{W}  =  \frac{7}{2}

<em>Cross multiply:</em>

2L= 7W -----(2)

Substitute (1) into (2):

2(54 -W)= 7W

<em>Expand:</em>

108 -2W= 7W

<em>+2W on both sides:</em>

9W= 108

<em>Divide both sides by 9:</em>

W= 108 ÷9

W= 12

<em>Substitute W= 12 into (1):</em>

L= 54 -12

L= 42

Area of rectangle

= length ×width

= LW

= 42(12)

= 504 cm²

For the function f(x)=3x−4 , what is the ordered pair for the point on the graph when x=6 ? Show work for full credit.
Ksivusya [100]

To find the ordered pair, we simply set the x value equal to 6.

We already know the first coordinate will be 6.

f(6) = 3(6) - 4

f(6) = 18 - 4

f(6) = 14

<h3><u>The y value is 14, and so our coordinate pair is (6, 14)</u></h3>

Which choice correctly compares the two numbers?
notka56 [123]

Answer:

A) 20.82 > 20.55

Step-by-step explanation:

Hopefully, your issue is with the symbols (< vs >) rather than actually determining which number is larger or smaller.

The wide-open end of the symbol (the left side, in the case of >) indicates the larger (more positive) number.

So, the meanings of the symbols are ...

> — "is greater than"

< — "is less than"

The only true statement of those listed is ...

20.82 is greater than 20.55, or 20.82 > 20.55 . . . . selection A

_____

When writing number comparisons, I like to use the < symbol, because it puts the numbers in number-line order. That is, the smaller (or more negative) number is on the left, just as it is on a number line.

You trade the places of the numbers when changing the symbol. For example, answer choice A could be rewritten as ...

20.55 < 20.82

You know that 20.55 is to the left of 20.82 on the number line, so you know this statement is true.
