Answer:

The length=16cm and the width=8cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the length is twice the breadth or width of the rectangle

Let's assume that the breadth of the rectangle is x.

Thus the length is 2x.

Given perimeter=48cm

The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is 2(l+b) where l is length and b is breadth.

2(x+2x)=48

(3x)=48/2

3x=24

x=8cm

2x=16cm

Step-by-step explanation:

length=2x

width=x

2x+x+2x+x=48

6x=48

6x÷6=48÷6

x=8

length=16

width=8

Answer:

$Correct answer\\y=\frac{1}{2} x-4$

Step-by-step explanation:

$y-\frac{-5+3}{2} =\frac{-1}{\frac{3-(-5)}{4-8} } (x-\frac{4+8}{2} )\\y+1=\frac{1}{2} (x-6)\\y=\frac{1}{2} x-4$

A certain star is 2.4 x 102 light years from the Earth. One light year is about 5.9 x 1012 miles. How far

Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

2.5 x $10^{15}$ miles

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that 1 light year ≈ 5.9 x $10^{12}$ miles so:

4.3 x 10² light year · <u>5.9 x </u> $10^{12}$ <u> miles </u>
1 light year

Multiply 4.3 an 5.9 and round to 2 significant digits then add the exponents:

≈25 x $10^{14}$

This is not the scientific notation since the number is not between 0 and 10 so we move the decimal point by 1 place to the left. We then add 1 to the exponent to obtain the final answer:

≈ 2.5 x $10^{15}$ miles

HELP! What is the measure of angle ABE? WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST!

Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Bisection is the division of a line or an angle into two equal halves. It means that a bisector is a line that divides an angle or another line into two equal halves. Therefore,

Line BE divides angle ABC into two equal halves. This means that

Angle ABC/2 = angle ABE = angle EBC

Therefore,.

2x + 20 = 4x - 6

4x - 2x = 20 + 6

2x = 26

x = 26/2 = 13

Therefore,

Angle ABE = 2 × 13 + 20

= 46 degrees

Is (0, 3) a solution to the following system?

daser333 [38]

Solve each equation with (0, 3)

y = -x + 3

3 = -0 + 3

y = 3 (correct since y = 3 in (0, 3))

y = 2x - 3

3 = 2(0) - 3

3 = 0 - 3

3 = -3 (incorrect since it isn't equal)

So... No, because it does not check in the second equation.

Best of Luck!
