The length of a rectangle is eight more than twice its width. The perimeter is 96 feet. Find the dimensions of the rectangle

Answer:

The width  of the rectangle is 14'8",  and the length is 33'4"

Step-by-step explanation:

We're given two pieces of information:

The length is eight more than twice the width:

l = 2w + 4

The perimeter is 96 feet:

p = 96

We also need to apply one more piece of information that is not provided here, and that is the relationship between the perimeter of a rectangle, and it's length and width:

p = 2l + 2w

We can solve for w by plugging the other two values into the last:

p = 2w + 2l\\96 = 2w + 2(2w + 4)\\96 = 2w + 4w + 8\\88 = 6w\\3w = 44\\w = \frac{44}{3}\\w = 14\frac{2}{3}

Now we can find the length by plugging w into the first equation:

l = 2w + 4\\l = 2(14\frac{2}{3}) + 4\\l = 29\frac{1}{3} + 4\\l = 33\frac{1}{3}

One third of  a foot is four inches, so the width is 14'8" and the length is 33'4"

To make sure our answer is correct, we should plug those numbers back into the area equation and see if we're right:

p = 2l + 2w\\p = 2(33\frac{1}{3}) + 2(14\frac{2}{3})\\p = 66\frac{2}{3} + 29\frac{1}{3}\\p = 96

So we know our answer's correct

sp2606 [1]

Answer:

x =12

Step-by-step explanation:

The two angles add to 90 degrees

4x+4 + 5x-22 = 90

Combine like terms

9x - 18 = 90

Add 18 to each side

9x -18+18 = 90+18

9x = 108

Divide each side by 9

9x/9 = 108/9

x =12

Identify which of these designs is most appropriate for the given​ experiment: completely randomized​ design, randomized block​
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

Completely Randomized Design

Step-by-step explanation:

In a completely randomized design, the samples are randomly assigned to the treatment without creating any blocks or groups.

Like here, in the given scenario, we do not have to divide subjects in two groups as they are all same.

Whereas, in a randomized block design, the participants are divided into subgroups in a way, that the variability within the blocks is less than the variability between blocks.

After dividing, the participants within each block are randomly assigned to treatment conditions.

Hence, the completely randomized design is used here.

Do you multiply area or add it
pogonyaev
It's the formula. Base times height.
For example: if 50 is the base and 10 is the height, just multiply them both.
50 x 10 = 500. And I don't think you add area-that's for finding the perimeter

Step-by-step explanation:

A scale drawing is a reduced form in terms of dimensions of an original image / building / object

the scale drawing is usually reduced at a constant dimension

scale of the drawing = original dimensions / dimensions of the scale drawing

10 / 5 = 2

1 inch represent 2 feet
