Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent the width by W. Then, "The length of a rectangular field is 7 m less than 4 times the width" expressed symbolically is

L = 4W - 7 (dimensions in meters)

Recall that the perimeter formula in this case is P = 2L + 2W, and recognize that the perimeter value is 136 m. After substituting 4W - 7 for L, we get:

136 m = 2(4W - 7) + 2W, or

136 = 8W - 14 + 2W, or

150 = 10W These three equations are equivalent mathematical statements.

150 = 10W reduces to W = 15 (meters).

Part A: the independent variable is W, the width of the field.

Part B: The mathematical statement is 136 m = 2(4W - 7) + 2W, which after algebraic manipulation becomes 150 = 10W.

Part C: The above equation can be solved for W: W = 15 meters. This is the value of the independent variable.

If a football player runs 5/6 of a mile every 3/4th of a hour, that means every 1/4th a hour he runs 1.5/6th of a mile.

That means every 15 minutes the football player runs .2 of a mile. That means that every hour he runs :

0.8 of a mile!

If two tangent segments to a circle share a common endpoint outside a circle, then the two segments are

matrenka [14]

If two tangent segments to a circle share a common endpoint outside a circle, then the two segments are congruent. This is according to the intersection of two tangent theorem. The theorem states that given a circle, if X is any point within outside the circle and if Y and Z are points such that XY and XZ are tangents to the circle, then XY is equal to XZ.
