Answer:

P = 35 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Rectangles

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

Angle DEF and angle FEG are supplementary. The measure of angle DEF = (9x +1) and the measure of angle FEG = (8x + 9). What is t

RUDIKE [14]

Supplementary angles are angles that are adjacent to each other and when summed to get a total of 180 degrees. In this case, DEF and FEG are supplementary. Thus the equation is 9x +1 + 8x + 9 = 180 = 17 x + 10; x then is equal to 10 so
<DEF = 9*10 +1 =91 degrees
<FEG = 8*10 + 9 = 89 degrees

Who had a higher ratio of time spent watching TV to time spent reading?

BigorU [14]

Stacy had a higher ratio, because when you divide the time they spent watching t.v over the time they spent reading Carey had 0.75 and Stacy at 0.80 which leaves stacy with the higher ratio.

explain the transformation needed to convert the following data to a linear data set {(1, 0.98), (2, 1.39), (3, 1.71), (4, 1.98)

xz_007 [3.2K]

The given numbers are a set of points. To convert this into a linear data set, you can do data fitting. The easiest way to do this is using a software. In this case, I used MS Excel. You plot the points and set a linear trendline. The linear equation for this set of data is: y = 0.286x + 0.784

You can refer to the image to further understand the procedure.

The problem above can be modelled as shown in the graph below

At $x=4$ , the height of the water from the ground is
$f(4)=-0.3 (4)^{2} +2(4)$
