Width of the actual barrier = 1.2 miles

Width of the barrier in the blueprint = 2 inches

2 inch dimension of blueprint = 1.2 miles of original

So, 1 inch dimension of blueprint = 1.2/2 = 0.6 miles.

Since the length of the barrier in the blueprint = 9 inches,

length of the actual barrier = 9(0.6) = 5.4 miles.

A rectangular garden has a width that is 8 feet less than twice the length. Find the dimensions if the perimeter is 20 feet.
krok68 [10]

Answer:

length = 6 feet

width = 4 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the dimensions of the rectangle, you can set up a variable and an expression that will equal the perimeter of the figure.  Given l = length, width is '8 feet less than twice the length' or w = 2l - 8.

The general formula for perimeter of a rectangle is:

2w + 2l = P, where w = width and l = length

Using the variable and expression from above and the perimeter of 20 feet:

2(2l - 8)+ 2l = 20

distribute: 4l - 16 + 2l = 20

combine like terms: 6l - 16 = 20

add 16 to both sides: 6l - 16 + 16 = 20 + 16 or 6l = 36

divide and solve for 'l':  6l/6 = 36/6, or l = 6 feet

solve for 'w':  w = 2(6) - 8 or w = 12 - 8 = 4 feet

. In triangle JKL, ∠ J measures 25.8º, and ∠ K is a right angle. What is the measure of ∠ L?
Alina [70]

Answer:

64.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Since a right triangle is equal to 90 degrees, you would subtract 25.8 from 90 to get your answer.

Hope this helps :)

arleen has a gift card for a local lawn and garden store. she uses the gift card to rent a roller for 4 days. it cost $17 per da
kaheart [24]

Answer:

We use negative values for the money Arleen spends.

a) We determine the change to the value on her gift card:

4(-35)+(-9)= -140+(-9)=-149

b) We determine the amount on money she has left on the gift card after renting the tiller and buying the rake:

200+(-149)=51

Since she has got $51 on her gift card and a wheelbarrow is $50 she is able to buy it:

51>50

RESULT

a) -$149 less b) yes

Step-by-step explanation:
