Step-by-step explanation:

l = length

w = width

l = 3w

perimeter p = 2l + 2w = 56

using the identity of the first equation

p = 2(3w) + 2w = 56

6w + 2w = 56

8w = 56

w = 7 cm

l = 3w = 3×7 = 21 cm

so, the area is

l×w = 21×7 = 147 cm²

On a coordinate plane, a line with a 90-degree angle crosses the y-axis at (0, 1), the x-axis at (1, 0), turns at (3, negative 2

Answer:

maximum value of y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

line Starts at -4 , 0 & turns at - 1 , 3

Slope = (3 - 0)/(-1 -(-4)) = 3/3 = 1

y = x + c

=> 0 = - 4 + c => c = 4

=> y = x + 4

line after turning crosses the y-axis at (0, 2) and the x-axis at (2, 0)

slope of this line : (0-2)/(2-0) = -1

y = - x + c

2 = 0 + c => c = 2

=> y = - x + 2

=> y = 2 - x

What is (3×10) ×8= ------ × (10×8) elementary 5th grade

Tamiku [17]

This is an example of the commutative property of multiplication.

That property states: $(a \times b) \times c = a \times (b \times c)$

So using that property, we can figure out that 3 should be in the blank.
