By definition we have that the perimeter of a rectangle is given by:
 P = 2b + 2h
 Where,
 b: base
 h: height
 Also, as a data of the problem we have:
 base is two times the height:
 b = 2h
 Substituting we have:
 P = 2 (2h) + 2h
 Clearing h:
 6h = P
 h = P / 6
 h = (80x) / 6
 h = (40/3) x
 The base will be
 b = 2h
 b = (80/3) x
 Answer:
 the dimensions of the rectangle are
 b = (80/3) x
 h = (40/3) x
 b. h = 13.3x; b = 26.6x

Answer:
<span>h = 13.3x; b = 26.6x
</span>
Explanation:
Perimeter of the rectangle = 2(base+height)
80x = 2(base+height)
base + height = 40x ........> I

Now, we are given that the base is 2 times the height, this means that:
base = 2*height ..........> II

Substitute with II in I:
base + height = 40x
2*height + height = 40x
3*height = 40x
height = 13.3x 

Substitute with the height in equation II to get the base as follows:
base = 2*height 
base = 2 * 13.3x = 26.6x

Hope this helps :)

max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

country = 0.31

rock and roll =0.47

Blues = 0.22

Step-by-step explanation:

country = 11

Rock and roll= 17

blues = 8

Total = 36

the probabilities by dividing the frequencies by the total. ( round to the nearest hundredth.)

11/36 = country

17/36 = rock and roll

8/36 = blues

Divide

country = 0.31

rock and roll =0.47

Blues = 0.22

REY [17]

Answer:

9.33 feet = 111.96 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

If we have similar triangles, the rate between matching sides is the same.

So the length of the smaller ladder (18 ft) over the length of the taller ladder (24 ft) is equal to the distance from the bottom of the smaller ladder to the tree (7 ft) over the distance from the bottom of the taller ladder to the tree (x ft):

18 / 7 = 24 / x

x = 7 * 24 / 18

x = 9.33 feet

To find this measure in inches, we just need to multiply by 12:

x = 9.33 * 12 =  111.96 inches

Natali5045456 [20]
The fact that the first chosen student was a girl is already decided, so there is no need to find the probability of that happening. There are a total of 13+10, or 23 students. A girl was already selected, so that leaves 22 students. The chance that a boy is chosen is 10/22, or 5/11.

Anna wants to take fitness classes. She compares two gyms to determine which would be the best deal for her. Fit Fast charges a
steposvetlana [31]
This is sort of weird to write without any numbers, but it's not too hard. take your info out of the word problem:

fit fast = fee per class
stepping up = fee per class + monthly fee

now you just change all of that into variables, essentially:

F = cx
S = cx + m

so, fit fast is the cost of classes (c) times the number of classes taken (x). stepping up is the cost of classes times x, PLUS that additional monthly fee (m).
