1. The formula for the area of a rectangle is:

 A=LxW

 L: The lenght of the rectangle (L=2W).
 W: The width of the rectangle.

 2. Let's substitute L=2W into the formula A=LxW:

 A=LxW
 A=2WxW
 A=2W²

 3. When we clear "W", we obtain:

 W²=A/2
 W=√(A/2)

 4. We already know the value of "A", so:

 W=√(50 ft²/2)
 W=√(25 ft²)
 W=5 ft

 5. Now, we must substitute the value of "W", into L=2W:

 L=2W
 L=2(5 ft)
 L=10 ft

 6. The perimeter of a rectangle is:

 P=2L+2W

 7. We know the value of "L" and "W", therefore:

 P=(2x10 ft)+(2x5 ft)
 P=20 ft+10 ft
 P=30 ft

 W<span>hat is the perimeter of the porch?

 The answer is: 30 ft

In the figure shown, FG is tangent to circle D.
romanna [79]

Answer:

Option B

Step-by-step explanation:

From the figure attached,

Circle D is drawn with the radius = DG or DE

A tangent FG has been drawn at a point G on the circle from an external point F.

By theorem,

Radius of a circle is always perpendicular to the tangent, drawn to the circle from an external point.

Therefore, DG ⊥ FG.

Option B will be the correct option.

ABCDEFGHIJ is a regular decagon. It rotates clockwise about its center to form the polygon A′B′C′D′E′F′G′H′I′J′. Match each angl
Lostsunrise [7]
A decagon has 10 sides.

It it is regular you can build 10 isosceles triangles from the center of the decagon to the 10 sides.

Each triangle has a common vertex where the angle of each triangle is 360° / 10 = 36°.

So each time that you rotate the decagon a multiple of 36° around the center you get an image that coincides with the original decagon.

If the letters are given clockwise:

- when you rotate 36° counter clockwise, the point A' (the image of A) will coincide with the point J.

- when you rotate 72° (2 times 36°) counter clockwise, the point A' will land on I.

- when you rotate 108° (3 times 36°) counter clockwise, the point A' will land on H.

- when you rotate 144° (4 times 36°) counter clockwise, the point A' will land on G.

- when you rotate 180° (5 times 36°) counter clockwise, the point A' will land on I.

- when you rotate 216° (6 times 36°) counter clockwise, the point A' will land on E.

- whn you rotate 252° (7 times 36°) counterclockwise, the point A' will coincide with D.

Add other 36° each time and A' will coincide successively with C, B and the same A.

Game 1 gives you 200 points every time you score. Game 2 doubles your points every time you score (2, 4, 8, and so on). In which
nignag [31]
Its depends on how many times you score during the game 

in second game the number of points increases  as a geometric sequence
with common ratio 2

so for example if you score ten times in first game you get 2000 points


if you score 10 times in Game 2 you score   2 * (2^10) - 1  =  2046 points

so playing 10 or more games  is best with Game 2.  Any less plays favours gane 1.

which equation has an a-value of –2, a b-value of 1, and a c-value of 3? a. 0 = –2x2 x 3 b. 0 = 2x2 x 3 c. 0 = –2x2 3 d. 0 = 2x2
ehidna [41]
If you would like to find the matching equation, you can do this using the following steps:

ax^2 + bx + c = 0
a = -2
b = 1
c = 3

-2x^2 + x + 3 = 0

The correct result would be a. 0 = <span>-2x^2 + x + 3.</span>
