Answer:

<em>P = 35 cm</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Rectangles</u>

Being x and y the dimensions of a rectangle, the perimeter can be calculated as:

P = 2x + 2y

The smaller rectangles of the figure have a width of x cm. We don't know the value of the length, but we can see how the two smaller horizontal rectangles' widths complete the height of the vertical rectangle. Since all the rectangles are identical, then the height of each rectangle is

y = 2x

Substituting in the formula and knowing the perimeter is 21:

2x + 2(2x) = 21

6x = 21

x = 21/6 = 7/2 = 3.5

The large rectangle has a width of 2x and a length of y+x = 3x, thus the perimeter is:

P = 2(2x) + 2(3x) = 4x + 6x = 10x

Since x=3.5 cm:

P = 35 cm

Write a equation in slope intersect form for points (0,8) and (9,5)
lyudmila [28]

y = mx+b

(5-8)/(9-0) = -1/3 which is m

solve point slope to find slope intercept by using one of the points (0,8)

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y-8 = -1/3(x-0)

y-8 = -1/3x

Answer: y = -1/3x + 8

Step-by-step explanation:

from usatestprep:

The situation is not an example of uniform probability because freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors do not have equal probabilities of being selected.; Uniform probability → equal probability of being selected

The radioactive element carbon-14 has half of 5750 years. A scientist determined that the bones from a mastodon has lost 56.6% o
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:7881 years

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use the equation

fraction remaining = 0.5n where n is # of half lives elapsed

n = ?

fraction remaining = 1 - 0.612 = 0.388

0.388 = 0.5n

n = 1.37 = the # of half lives

1.37 x 5750 yrs = 7881 years

Functions A,B and C are linear functions. Some values of function A are shown in the table. Function B has y-intercept of (3,0)
cricket20 [7]

Answer:

In order of increasing slope:

B: y = 0

A: y = 2x-3

C: y = 3x+1

Step-by-step explanation:

(3,3), (5,7), and (6,9) are points on line A.

Use the coordinates of two of the points to find the slope of A.

Δy =7-9 = -2

Δx =5-6 = -1

Slope = Δy/Δx = 2

Equation for line of slope 2 that passes through (3,3):

y-3 = 2(x-3)

y = 2x-3

(3,0) and (5,0) are points on line B. They are horizontally aligned, so the equation for line B is y=0. Slope = 0.

You were given the equation for C: y = 3x+1. Slope = 3

In order of increasing slope:

B: y = 0

A: y = 2x-3

C: y = 3x+1
