Answer:

83 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the rectangle be L cm and the width be W cm.

L= 2W +3 -----(1)

Perimeter of rectangle= 2(length) +2(width)

2L +2W= 246 -----(2)

Substitute (1) into (2):

2(2W +3) +2W= 246

Expand:

4W +6 +2W= 246

Simplify:

6W +6= 246

Divide both sides by 6:

W +1= 41

W= 41 -1

W= 40

∴ width of the rectangle is 40cm.

Substitute value of W into (1):

L= 2(40).+3

L= 80 +3

L= 83

Thus, the length of the rectangle is 83 cm.

Sladkaya [172]
In one day, Mr. Stevens painted 1/5 of a house.
Each son paints 1/4.5 of a house in one day.

If Mr. Stevens and his two sons work together, the would paint (1/5+1/4.5+1.4.5)=(9/45+10/45+10/45)=29/45 of a house in one day.

It will take them 1/(29/45)=45/29 days to finish painting the house, assuming their work is additive, like no waiting for drying for the second coat, etc.

Binocular vision is used to perceive depth. When Brandon looks out into the forest, he uses binocular vision to determine how far away objects are in the forest. He uses the concept of the figure-ground relationship to identify trees and other figures in the forrest as separate from the background. The act of seeing or looking itself requires transduction. Light that hits his eyes undergoes a process called phototransduction in which light is converted to electrical signals which then move through different types of cells. Ultimately these signals are sent to a part of the brain called the occipital lobe where they are converted into an image in the brain.  

Brandon's dog begins to growl as a result of natural selection. Dogs who growled at potential predators were more likely to scare away the predator and survive. As a result, the dog growls when it sees a potential predator. When Brandon's dog starts growling, Brandon becomes fearful that there might be something in the forest. As a result of this fear, his body initiates a sympathetic response, releasing epinephrine into the body. This epinephrine acts on the heart and causes his pulse to increase. He also utilizes his peripheral nervous system to increase the strength of his grip on the leash

A square has side length 3.4 cm. The side length of the enlargement is 17 cm. Determine the scale factor.
lora16 [44]

Answer:

The scale factor is <u>5</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the scale factor, we divide 17 by 3.4 to find how much it was enlarged by.

17/3.4 = 5

We do this becuase when finding the scale factor, we take the dilated shape/side length and divide it by the original shape/side length.
