Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

To split the rectangle into 2 parts, you can go one of two ways. One way would make the parts 15" by 10", and the other way would make the two parts 30" by 5". Neither way is equal on all sides, which means neither one is a square. That would make the statement false.

Answer:

I think false

Step-by-step explanation:

That's probably going to lead to 3 congruent squares i think, not the answer you were looking for? Sorry, that's all the evidence i have

olga55 [171]
Let the width be x, then length = 4x - 7
Perimeter = 2(length + width)
2(x + 4x - 7) = 46
2(5x - 7) = 46
10x - 14 = 46
10x = 60
x = 6

Therefore, width is 6 and length is 4(6) - 7 = 24 - 7 = 17

Multiply the expression
user100 [1]

Answer:

-26.

Step-by-step explanation:

4 * 2 * (-3) + (-10) / 5

Deal with the parentheses first  (PEMDAS).

= 4 * 2 * -3 - 10 / 5

Now the multiplications and divisions:

= 8 * -3 - 2

= -24 - 2

= -26.
