lets start by labeling the rectangle. let w = width so length(l) = w+4 (i.e 4 more than the width)

Perimeter of a rectangle= sum of all the sides= l+ w+l+w=2l +2w

now we know that p = 2l + 2w = 100

but we know that l=w+ 4

2(w+4) +2w=100

2w +8 +2w = 100

4w+8 =100

4w= 92

w=23

and if we substitute into 2l+2w= 100

we will get l =27.

You toss five fair coins. The probability that all five coins land heads is

alexgriva [62]

Answer:

1/32

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we want to find the probability that all five coins land on heads, we must first find the total number of possibilities. Since there are 2 choices for each coin to land on, heads or tails, the total number of possibilities is 2^5 = 32.

Since there is only one way to to land on all heads, the probability is 1/32.

What are the angles sizes

Rus_ich [418]

Answers:
(x+2) = 55 degrees

x = 53 degrees

the given is 72 degrees

Explanation:
A triangle always equals 180 degrees. It was given that one of the angle measures is 72 degrees. 180-72=108. Now I need to find the value of x. (x+2)+x=108. Solving this equation I get x=53. Substitute this back into the angle measures and u get the answers as stated above.

Expand and simplify (x+5)(x-2)

salantis [7]

Answer:

${x}^{2} - x - 12 = (x + 3)(x - 4)$

${x}^{2} + 3x + 2 = (x + 2)(x + 1)$

${x}^{2} + 3x - 10 = (x + 5)(x - 2)$

Step-by-step explanation:

F [First terms] - Multiply the first terms in each set of parentheses FARTHEST TO THE LEFT

O [Outside terms] - Multiply the first term in the first set of parentheses FARTHEST TO THE LEFT by the last term in the second set of parentheses FARTHEST TO THE RIGHT

I [Inside terms] - Multiply the last term in the first set of parentheses FARTHEST TO THE RIGHT by the first term in the second set of parentheses FARTHEST TO THE LEFT

L [Last terms] - Multiply the last terms in each set of parentheses FARTHEST TO THE RIGHT

${x}^{2} - x - 12 = {x}^{2} - 4x + 3x - 12$
