Answer:

the length is 8ft

the width is 3ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given

perimter= 22ft

let the length be x

width = x-5

Step two

the expression for the perimeter of a rectangle is

P=2L+2W

substituting our data

22= 2(x)+2(x-5)

open brackets

22=2x+2x-10

collect terms and solve for x

22+10=4x

32=4x

divide both sides by 4

x= 32/4

x= 8ft

the length is 8ft

the width = x-5= 8-5= 3ft

The average salary is $18,725

To find the answer add up each job's salary then divide by the number of jobs.

28,700 + 18,600 + 14,66 + 13,00 = 74,900

Then divide 74,900 by 4 ( added 4 numbers )

Suppose it takes you 14 hour to drive to the movie theater at a rate of 40 mph. Your friend lives closer to the movie theater th

dezoksy [38]

Answer: (d)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

It takes 14 hours with 40 mph to reach the theatre

so, the distance traveled is given by

$\Rightarrow d_1=40\times 14\\\Rightarrow d_1=560\ \text{miles}$

It is given that d is the distance from theatre to friend's house

So, d must be less than $d_1$ i.e.

$d$

So, the most appropriate option out of the given is option (d) as d must be less than 560 and it is possible that it maybe less than 160.

What is the surface area of this triangular prism

const2013 [10]

The perimeter of the triangular end is 12 m, so the total rectangular area is
.. (12 m)*(8 m) = 96 m^2

There are two triangles with base 3 m and height 4 m, so their total area is
.. (3 m)*(4 m) = 12 m^2

The surface area of the figure is the sum of these
.. 96 m^2 +12 m^2 = 108 m^2
