Hi there! :)
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.

Answer:
The rectangle has a width of 18 inches and a height length of 8 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
The perimeter of a rectangle is described by the equation:
where <em>l</em> is width, <em>h</em> is height, and <em>p</em> is perimeter.
We're also told that the total perimeter is 52 inches.
We're also told that the length is six inches less than three times the width. We can express that as 
.
We can plug that definition of w into the perimeter equation to find the length:
Now we can take that and the given perimeter, and substitute those into the perimeter equation to find the width:
So the width is 18
Answer:
mABC = 124° because 90° + 146° = 236° and
360° - 236° = 124°
Answer:
3.6%
Step-by-step explanation:
Because the two events are independent, their probabilities are multiplied, so the probability of a student being born in March and having a blood type of O+ is 9% * 40% = 0.09 * 0.40 = 0.036 = 3.6%
