Hi there! :)

\large\boxed{P = 32cm}

Find the perimeter by solving for y.

We know that a rectangle contains two pairs of parallel and congruent sides, therefore:

5y - 1 = 2y + 8

We can solve for y using this expression. Begin by subtracting 2y from both sides:

5y - 2y - 1 = 2y - 2y + 8

3y - 1 = 8

Add 1 to both sides:

3y - 1 + 1 = 8 + 1

3y = 9

Divide both sides by 3:

y = 3

Recall that the perimeter of a rectangle is:

P = 2l + 2w

Plug in the given expressions for the side lengths to find one equation:

P = 2(5y - 1) + 2(y - 1)

Simplify by distribution:

P = 10y - 2 + 2y - 2

Combine like terms:

P = 12y - 4

Plug in the solved value of y into this equation:

P = 12(3) - 4

P = 36 - 4

P = 32 cm.

Akira receives a prize at a science fair for having the most informative project. Her trophy is in the shape of a square pyramid
PolarNik [594]

Akira needs 45 square inches of  gold foil to cover the chair free including the bottom​

Step-by-step explanation:

Total surface  =  surface area of the base square + area of 4 triangles

Step 1: The surface area of the base square

surface area of the base = surface area of the square =  

where s is the side length

The the surface area of the base  = = 9 square inches

Step 2: The surface area of the side triangles

The area of the triangle =

On substituting the values,

The area of the triangle =

The area of the triangle =

The area of the triangle = 9 square inches

Now the area of 4 triangles  =  4 x 9  = 36 square inches

Thus the total surface area  =  9 + 36 = 45 square inches

Please help urgent!!!<br> does 3 3/10 + 2 4/5 + 2 1/10 = 8.2?
Advocard [28]

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Yes, 3 3/10 + 2 4/5 + 2 1/10 is equal to 8.2 because 3 3/10 + 2 4/5 + 2 1/10 is 41/5 and that into a mixed number is 8 1/5 and THAT into a decimal is 8.2

Hope this helped!
