Answer:

length: 10 cm and width: 7 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width be x

then the length will be x + 3

perimeter of rectangle: 2 ( length + width )

<u>using the formula</u>:

2 ( x + 3 + x ) = 34

2 ( 2x + 3 ) = 34

4x + 6 = 34

4x = 28

x = 7

The width is 7 cm

Length:

x + 3

7 + 3

10 cm

Answer:

10cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for perimeter is:

P=2(l+w)

Let the width of the rectangle be x then the length would be...

3+x

Now, let's plug these values into the equation and solve. (Note we are also given perimeter is 34 cm):

34=2(x+3+x)\\34=2(2x+3)\\Distribute\ the\ 2\ to\ each\ term\ in\ the\ parentheses\\34=2(2x)+2(3)\\34=4x+6\\Subtract\ 6\ from\ both\ sides\\4x=28\\Divide\ both\ sides\ by\ 4\\x=7

And since the length is x+3 then it is...

x+3=7+3=10cm

Write the equation of the line that passes through the points (-2,0) and (1,2).
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

y = 2/3x + 1 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the slope using rise over run, (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

Plug in the points:

(y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

(2 - 0) / (1 + 2)

2 / 3

= 2/3

Then, plug in the slope and a point into y = mx + b to solve for b:

y = mx + b

2 = 2/3(1) + b

2 = 2/3 + b

1 1/3 = b

Plug in the slope and y intercept into y = mx + b

y = 2/3x + 1 1/3 is the equation of the line

Write a cosine function that has a midline of 2, an amplitude of 4 and a period of pi/2.
exis [7]

y = Acos(Bx) + D;

D = 4, A = 2. Now T = 2π/B = 5π/8, B = 2π/(5π/8) = 16/5

WE get y = 2cos(16/5x) + 4

the probability of a basketball player hitting a foul shot is 1/3. how many shots would you expect her to make in 90 attempts?
Kaylis [27]
90 attempts are made and only one third are successful. Multiply the attempts by successes and you get 30 successful shots (90 x 1/3= 30).

When f(x) = 0.5|x is graphed on a regular coordinate grid, the graph forms
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

A. Right angle  -- if you multiply the slopes of 2 intersecting lines and you "-1" then the lines are perpendicular - in this case the line in quadrant 3 has a slope of "1" and the line in quadrant 4 has a slope of "-1", hence their product is "-1" and the angles formed at the intersection of the lines are right angles.
