Length (L): w + 3.5

width (w): w

Perimeter (P) = 2L + 2w

31 = 2(w + 3.5) + 2(w)

31 = 2w + 7 + 2w

31 = 4w + 7

24 = 4w

6 = w

Length (L): w + 3.5 = (6) + 3.5 = 9.5

Answer: width = 6 inches, length = 9.5 inches

The volume of a cylinder is 4 pi x3 cubic units and its height is x units.

Rzqust [24]

Answer:

$2x$

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cylinder, $V$ is given by the formula,

$V=\pi r^{2}h$

Where, $r$ is the radius and $h$ is the height of the cylinder.

Here, $V=4\pi x^{3}$ , $h=x$ . Plug in these values and solve for radius, $r$ .

This gives,

$V=\pi r^{2}h\\4\pi x^{3}=\pi r^{2}x\\r^{2}=\frac{4\pi x^{3}}{\pi x}\\r^{2}=4x^{2}\\$

Taking square root both sides, we get

$\sqrt{r^{2}}=\sqrt{4x^{2}}\\r=2x$

Therefore, the radius of the cylinder can be expressed as $2x$ .

4. A boat sails east for 35 miles and then turns to sail 10 miles south. What is the distance of the boat from its ending point

Elden [556K]

Answer:

36.4mi

Step-by-step explanation:

The boat sailed two legs of a right-angled triangle.

The distance from the starting point is the hypotenuse of the triangle.

d = √(35² + 10²)

= √(1225 + 100)

= √1325

= 36.4 mi
