5 0

Answer:

Distributive property is used to expand expressions by multiplying the factor to every term in the group and combining similar terms if there are any. Hope this helps!

Step-by-step explanation:

An example is...

3(x+4) + 3(y-8)

This is the same thing as...

3x + 12 + 3y -8

Bill is bisecting an angle with technology Which of the following describes his next step?
maw [93]

Answer:

  Mark point E where the circle intersects segment BC

Step-by-step explanation:

Apparently, Bill is using "technology" to perform the same steps that he would use with compass and straightedge. Those steps involve finding a point equidistant from the rays BD and BC. That is generally done by finding the intersection point(s) of circles centered at D and "E", where "E" is the intersection point of the circle B with segment BC.

Bill's next step is to mark point E, so he can use it as the center of one of the circles just described.

___

<em>Comment on Bill's "technology"</em>

In the technology I would use for this purpose, the next step would be "select the angle bisector tool."

The length of a rectangle is 4 more than 3 times the width if the perimeter of the rectangle is 18.4 cm what is the area of the
garik1379 [7]
Let's call the width: w

the lenght is then 3w+4 ("4 more than 3 times the width")

and the parameter would be 2(w+3w+4), that is 2*(4w+4), that is 8w+8.

this is also equal to 18.4:

8w+8=18.4
8w=10.4
w=1.3

this is the width, and the lenght is:
4+3*1,3=4+3.9=7.9

and the area is their product:
1.3*7.9=10.27
