Answer:

The width of the garden is 25 feet

The length of the garden is 60 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle

= P = 2L + 2W

Where L = Length, W = Width

The length of the garden is 10 feet more than twice its width.

P = 170

L = 2W + 10

Hence,

170 = 2(2W + 10) + 2W

170 = 4W + 20 + 2W

Collect like terms

170 - 20 = 6W

150 = 6W

W = 150/6

W = 25 feet

The width of the garden is 25 feet

Remember

L = 2W + 10

L = 2(25) + 10

L = 50 + 10

L = 60 feet

The length of the garden is 60 feet

a. 9/10

explanation:

• the denominators (bottom number) are the same so there is no need to change to a common factor

• because the fractions have common factors, you add the top numbers (3+6) to get 9

• then you put the top number over the 10 (9/10) and it’s simplified as much as possible

b. 3/4

explanation:

• each denominator (bottom term) is a factor of 12 so you have to change each fraction to #/12

• to change 1/3, you multiply the top and bottom numbers by 4 (1x4 & 3x4 = 4/12)

• to change 1/4, you multiply the top and bottom numbers by 3 (1x3 & 4x3 = 3/12)

• to change 1/6, you multiple the top and bottom numbers by 2 (1x2 & 6x2 = 2/12)

• then you add each of the top numbers (4+3+2) and put it over the common denominator (12) to get 9/12

- both 9 & 12 are divisible by 3, so you simply by dividing both by 3 to get 3/4

c. 1/3

explanation:

•the denominators are the same, so you subtract 5-3 without changing the denominator & you get 2/6

• then, because both numbers are divisible by 2, you divide both by 2 and get 1/3

At midnight, the temperature was -8oF. At noon, the temperature was 23oF. Which expression represents the increase in temperatur
irinina [24]

Answer:

23^oF-(-8^oF)

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that at midnight, the temperature was -8^oF. At noon, the temperature was 23^oF.

Since our temperature has increased to 23 degree Fahrenheit from -8 degree Fahrenheit, we can represent this increase in temperature as:

\text{The increase in temperature}=23^oF-(-8^oF)

Therefore, the expression 23^oF-(-8^oF) represents the increase in temperature.

What is the area of the square adjacent to the third side of the triangle?
Naddik [55]

Answer:

85 units^2 = Area of Blue Square

and

x = 5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

To do this we use the Pythagorean theorem (a^2 + b^2 = c^2). a and b represent the legs of the triangle whereas c represents the longest side of the triangle, or the hypotenuse.

Since we know the area of a square is the side length multiplied by itself (or the side length squared), \sqrt{35} is the side length of the pink square and \sqrt{50} is the side length of the green square.

That means a = \sqrt{35} and b = \sqrt{50} , so...

(\sqrt{35} )^{2} + (\sqrt{50})^{2}  = c^{2}

35 + 50 = c^2

85 = c^2

\sqrt{85} = c

Now we need to square the square root of 85 to find the area of the blue square.

(\sqrt{85})^{2}  = Area of blue square

85 units^2 = Area of Blue Square

To solve the other question we use the same formula again.

x^2 + 12^2 = 13^2\\x^2 +144 = 169\\-144\\x^2 =  25\\x=\sqrt{25} \\x=5

x = 5 units
