10 inches x 8 inches. 

You can get this by creating two equations.

xy = 80 and 2x + 2y = 36

Then you can solve the first one for either variable. Once you do that you can substitute it into the other equation and solve. You'll get a quadratic equation which will give you both parts of the answer.

Answer:

The dimension are 10 inches by 8 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The rectangular cutting has a perimeter of 36 inches . The area is 80 inches². The dimension can be solved as follows :

perimeter of a rectangle = 2l + 2b

where

l = length

b = breadth

36 = 2l + 2b..............(i)

Area of  a rectangle = l × b = lb

80 = lb........................(ii)

l = 80/b

Insert the value of l in equation (i)

36 = 2(80/b) + 2b

36 = 160/b + 2b

36 = (160 + 2b²)/b

cross multiply

36b = 160 + 2b²

2b² - 36b + 160 = 0

b² - 18b + 80 = 0

(b - 8)(b - 10)

b  = 8 or  b = 10

let us insert b in equation (ii)

80 = lb........................(ii)

80 = l8

l = 80/8

l = 10

or if we insert b =10

80 = lb........................(ii)

80 = 10l

l = 8

The dimension are 10 inches by 8 inches

This relationship is given by the equation, v = gt. In this equation, g is the acceleration due to gravity, t is the number of s
DENIUS [597]

v=gt,

Initial value when time t=0, v=g*0=0.

t=0 s, v=0 m/s means that object’s initial velocity 0 m/s.

v=gt, and g is a constant g=9.8 m/s². We can write v=9.8*t.

Rate of change 9.8 means the acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s².

Answer: C. The initial value is 0. That means that object’s initial velocity 0 m/s. The rate of change is 9.8. That means the acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s2.

Jenna dances for 3 hours on sunday, 2 hours on Monday and Tuesday, 1 hour on THursday,1.5 hours oon friday, and 2 hours on Satur
Delicious77 [7]

Answer: The average number of hours she danced per day is 1.9 hours (rounded to the nearest tenth)

Step-by-step explanation: We start by calculating how many hours she danced all together which can be derived as follows;

Summation = 3 +2 +2 + 1 + 1.5 + 2 = 11.5

The number of days she danced which is the observed data is 6 days (she did  not dance at all on Wednesday).

The average (or mean) hours she danced each day can be calculated as

Average = ∑x ÷ x

Where ∑x is the summation of all data and x is number of observed data

Average = (3+2+2+1+1.5+2) ÷ 6

Average = 11.5 ÷ 6

Average = 1.9166

Approximately, average hours danced is 1.9 hours (to the nearest tenth)
