Answer: 35 inches</h3>
Each side of the pentagon is multiplied by 5/3 to get the length of each new side, so the perimeter is multiplied by 5/3 to get the new perimeter.
New perimeter = (scale factor)*(old perimeter)
New perimeter = (5/3)*(old perimeter)
New Perimeter = (5/3)*(21)
New Perimeter = (5/3)*(21/1)
New Perimeter = (5*21)/(3*1)
New Perimeter = 105/3
New Perimeter = 35 inches

Which statement about solving inequalities is true?
- Answer -
A)
Adding the same value to both sides of an inequality does not change the solution set.

<span>Let x = the width
:
It says,"The length of a rectangle is 4 less than 3 times the width." write that as:
L = 3x - 4
:
If the perimeter is 40, find the dimensions of the rectangle.
:
We know: 2L + 2W = 40
:
Substitute (3x-4) for L and x for W
2(3x-4) + 2x = 40
:
6x - 8 + 2x = 40; Multiplied what's inside the brackets
:
6x + 2x = 40 + 8; do some basic algebra to find x; (added 8 to both sides)
:
8x = 48
:
x = 48/8
:
x = 6 which is the width
:
It said that L = 3x - 4, therefore:
L = 3(6) - 4
L = 18 - 4
L = 14; is the length
:
Check our solutions in the perimeter:
2(14) + 2(6) =
28 + 12 = 40</span>
Answer:
in the picture above
Step-by-step explanation:
I hope that it's a clear solution and explanation.
The value of four is not greater than five of corse if the value of four were positive and five negative but four is not greater the five.
