Answer:

The dimensions of the original rectangle are Length =12cm, Width=8cm

Step-by-step explanation

Let the length of the rectangle be x

Let the width of the rectangle be y

The perimeter of a rectangle is 40cm.

2(x+y)=40

Divide both sides by 2

x+y=20

If the length were doubled(2x) and the width halved(y/2), the perimeter would be increased by 16cm,i.e.(40+16)cm

Therefore:

Divide both sides by 2

From the first equation, x=20-y.

Substitute x=20-y into

PTG has side lengths of 18 cm, 27 cm, and 13 cm. which type of triangle is PTG? The answer is obtuse.
Verizon [17]
To know what kind of triangle is it. use the pythagorean theorem:
A^2 + B^2 = C^2,
where C is the longest side of the triangle 
if it satisfies the equation then it is a right triangle
if it does not then A^2 + B^2 > C^2 so it is acute triangle
if A^2 + B^2 < C^2 it is obtuse triangle

18^2 + 13^2 ? 27^2
324 + 169 ? 729
493 < 729 so it is obtuse triangle

Which of the following are exact numbers?
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

Explanation with the help of discrete variables and continuous variables.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to tell that which of the following can be an exact number.

This can be done with the approach of discrete and continuous variables.

Discrete variables are the variables that are countable and cannot be expressed in decimal form. They are point estimated.

Continuous variable are the variable that are estimated with the help of an interval. Their values can be expressed with the help of a decimal expansion. They are not countable.

a) Mass of a paper clip, Surface are of dime, Inches in a mile, Ounces in pound, microseconds in a week

Since all mass, area, weight(ounces), time, length(inches) are continuous variable, they can be estimated with the help of an interval. Thus, they can have exact number but not always.

b) Number of pages in a worksheet

Since this is a discrete quantity and it is countable. Thus, it will always have a point estimation and are exact numbers always.
