Answer:

Length = 50 feet

Width = 160 feet

Explanation:

I'm assuming the flagpole is not included in this question.

w

=

w

i

d

t

h

l

=

≤

n

>

h

The length compared to the width is:

w

=

l

+

110

<-- equation 1

The formula for perimeter:

P

=

2

w

+

2

l

420

=

2

w

+

2

l

<-- equation 2

Sub the first equation into the second.

420

=

2

(

l

+

110

)

+

2

l

Now you can solve for

l

algebraically.

420

=

2

l

+

220

+

2

l

4

l

=

200

l

=

50

Sub the found length into the first equation to find the length.

w

=

(

50

)

+

110

w

=

160

Therefore the flag is 50 feet long and 160 feet wide.

How you could use paper folding to construct the bisector of an angle
user100 [1]
<span>This really works well with wax paper. It is transparent and it leaves a visible white line on the crease. For the perpendicular bisector of a line segment, fold the endpoints of the line segment onto each other. The crease is the perpendicular bisector. This of course also gives you the midpoint, because that is where the perpendicular bisector intersects the line segment. For an angle bisector, put the crease through the vertex of the angle and lay the sides of the angle over top of each other. The crease is the angle bisecto

Rewrite each fraction in simplest form using the GCF of the numerator and denominator.
Elanso [62]

Answer:

\sf 6. \quad \dfrac{7}{10}

\sf 7. \quad \dfrac{5}{17}

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3><u>Question 6</u></h3>

To find the greatest common factor (GCF), first list the prime factors of each number:

  • 42 = 2 × 3 × 7
  • 60 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 5

42 and 60 share one 2 and one 3 in common.

Multiply them together to get the GCF:  2 × 3 = 6.

Therefore, 6 is the GCF of 42 and 60.

Divide the numerator and the denominator by the found GCF:

\implies \sf \dfrac{42 \div 6}{60 \div 6}=\dfrac{7}{10}

<h3><u>Question 7</u></h3>

To find the greatest common factor (GCF), first list the prime factors of each number:

  • 80 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 5
  • 272 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 17

80 and 272 share four 2s in common.

Multiply them together to get the GCF:  2 × 2 × 2 × 2 = 16.

Therefore, 16 is the GCF of 80 and 272.

Divide the numerator and the denominator by the found GCF:

\implies \sf \dfrac{80 \div 16}{272 \div 16}=\dfrac{5}{17}
