Answer:

The dimensions of the mirror is 9 feet and 2 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Keep in mind that the area and perimeter of a rectangle is:

Area - length x width

Perimeter - 2 (l + w)

List the factors of 18 (the area of the mirror):

1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18

POSSIBLE DIMENSIONS OF MIRROR:

1 ft and 18 ft

Area = 18 ft^2

Perimeter = 38 feet

2 ft and 9 ft

Area = 18 ft^2

Perimeter = 22 feet

3 ft and 6 ft

Perimeter = 18 feet

The rectangle with dimensions 2 feet and 9 feet corresponds with the area and perimeter of the mirror mentioned. So those are the correct dimensions.

Hope these helps!

pleaseee help context is down below $3 is the entrance fee while $.50 is for each game played that's enough evidence to solve C(

BabaBlast [244]

C= Cost
g= # of times games played

C = 0.50g + 3

C(0) = 0.50(0) + 3
C(0) = 0 + 3
C(0) = 3

This means that no games have been played yet and the entrance fee is $3

A seamstress needs to cut 15-inch pieces of ribbon from a roll of ribbon that is 9 feet length. What is the greatest number of 1

yan [13]

STEP 1:
Divide the length of the ribbon by the size of the pieces.

12 inches= 1 foot

= 9 ft ÷ 15 inch pieces
convert ft to inches
= (12)(9) ÷ 15
= 108 ÷ 15
= 7.2 pieces from one roll

STEP 2:
multiply the number of pieces that can be cut from one roll by the number of rolls

= 7.2 pieces * 5 rolls
= 36 pieces total from 5 rolls

ANSWER: The greatest number of 15-inch pieces that can be cut from five 9-foot rolls is 36.

Hope this helps! :)

A certain forest covers an area of 2100 km². Suppose that each year this area decreases by 3.5%. What will the area be after 5 y

Blizzard [7]

Answer:

$\large\boxed{\sf \ \ \ 1757 \ km^2 \ \ \ }$

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

I would recommend that you checked the answers I have already provided as this is the same method for all these questions, and maybe try to solve this one before you check the solution.

At the beginning the area is 2100

After one year the area will be

2100*(1-3.5%)=2100*0.965

After n years the area will be

$2100\cdot0.965^n$

So after 5 years the area will be

$2100\cdot0.965^5=1757.34027...$

So rounded to the nearest square kilometer is 1757

Hope this helps
