Answer:

3 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter is

P = 2(l+w)

Substituting what we know

18 = 2(6+w)

Divide each side by 2

18/2 = 2(6+w)/2

9 = 6+w

Subtract 6 from each side

9-6 = 6+w-6

3 =w

It’s 3 ft wide because 6+6 is 12 and the perimeter is 18 and 18-12 is 6 so divide that by 2 is 3 for each side which all equals to 18

What is the length of segment XY?

Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

StartRoot 53 EndRoot units

XY = √53

Step-by-step explanation:

Choose which is point 1 and point 2 so you don't confuse the coordinates.

Point 1 (–4, 0) x₁ = –4 y₁ = 0

Point 2 (3, 2) x₂ = 3 y₂ = 2

Use the formula for the distance between two points.

$L = \sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^{2} + (y_{2}-y_{1})^{2}}$

$XY = \sqrt{(3-(-4))^{2} + (2-0)^{2}}$

$XY = \sqrt{49 + 4}$

$XY = \sqrt{53}$

Therefore the line of segment XY is √53.

Mike is preparing refreshments for a party. To make a smoothie, he will mix 3 1⁄2 quarts of strawberry puree with 2 pints of lem

Shkiper50 [21]

Let's convert all volumes into pint:

1 Quart = 2 pints → 3.5 quart of strawberry = 2 x 3.5 = 7 pints Strawberry
1 Gallon = 8 pints →1.25 Ga. water = 1.25 x 8 = 10 pints Water
2 pints of limonade = 2 pints of limonade

Add up all pints Total = 7+10+2 = 19 pints of smoothie

Or in quart 9.5

Or in Gal 2.375

Find the range of y=3/2cos4x-1

MrRissso [65]

Answer:

Range = [- 2.5, 0.5] = [ - 5/2, 1/2]

Step-by-step explanation:

Smallest value of cos α = - 1,

largest value of cos α = 1.

When cos 4x = - 1, y=3/2cos4x-1 = 3/2*(-1) - 1 = - 5/2 = - 2 1/2 = - 2.5

When cos 4x = 1, y=3/2cos4x-1 = 3/2*1 - 1 = 1/2 = 0.5

Range = [- 2.5, 0.5] = [ - 5/2, 1/2]
