Answer:

L = 20 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

w = width

L = length

area = 120

W x L = 120

L - 8 = 2W  then L = 2W + 8

substitute for L:

W x (2W + 8) = 120

2W² + 8W -120 = 0

(2W - 12)(W + 10) = 0

2W-12 = 0

2W = 12

W = 6

L = 20

Please help if you understand!! I hope everyone has a great day or is having a great day​
Monica [59]

Answer:

Firstly, notice the relationship the two triangles have. They have conjoining ends that form vertical angles (looks like a middle x). Vertical angles are equivalent in measure of degrees.

Secondly, notice that the triangle on the right side is a right triangle. One of its angle's measurements are also given; 40 degrees. If you know that the sum of a triangle's angles equal 180 degrees, then simply subtract the known angles measurements from 180.

180-(90+40)=  180-130=50.

Therefore, the vertical angles measurement is equivalent to 50 degrees.

Apply the principle of the sum of all angles in a triangle equivalent to 180 degrees to the left triangle, and you will be able to find the measurement of the "?" angle.

180-(50+25)= 180-75=105

SO HERE IS YOUR ANSWER= 105 degrees is the value of the angle marked with a "?"

I hope you are having a great day too;)!

Help please hurry need help
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

1: D

2: B

3: y=-4x+22

4: y=-8x+26

Step-by-step explanation:

1: Parallel lines have the same slope, and the only one with a slope of 3x is D

2: Perpendicular lines have an opposite slope, so a line with a slope of -1/2 would be 2, so you just flip the number and add or take away a negative sign, depending on the original slope

3: Like I said before, perpendicular lines have an opposite slope, so the slope would be -4. After you've figured that out, you just plug in the numbers given to you (and remember, x is first, y is last)

Plug in: 6=-4(4)+b

You would then solve for b.

6=-16+b

22=b

Then plug that into y=mx+b, with m being the slope (-4) and b being the y intercept (22)

4: The process for finding parallel and perpendicular lines is very similar, except you don't have to change the slope.

Plug in: 10=-8(2)-b

10=-16+b

26=b

Again, plug that into the equation y=mx+b

Hope I could be of help! Sorry if it doesn't make sense, this is my first time on this website.
