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

2 Rita bought three and forty-eight hundredths pounds of bananas at the store. How is this number written in expanded notation?
boyakko [2]

The cost of bananas = $ 3.48

This can be written as :                                                                                            

this number written in expanded notation as : (3 × 1) + (4 × 0.1) + (8 × 0.01)

3+0.4+0.08 = 3.48

Hence, 1st option is correct.

In ΔBCA, BA = 17 cm, BF = 6 cm, CG = 9 cm. Find the perimeter of ΔBCA.
Rainbow [258]

Answer:

answer is 52 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

BA = 17, BF = 6, and CG = 9

triangle sides BF and BH are congruent because they are tangent lines along the same curve

BH is equal to 6 since BF is equal to 6

this applies to CG and CF and AG and AH

CG is equal to 9

so CF is equal to 9

now we add 6 + 9 for the measurement of side CB

CB = 15

now we do the same for the other two sides

we already know BA = 17 so we subtract it from BH = 6 to find the measurement of AH

AH is equal to 11 and is tangent across the same curve as AG

AG = 11

now we add AG to CG

11 + 9 = 20

now we know  all the side lengths

CB + BA + AC = Perimeter

15 + 17 + 20 = 52

Perimeter of triangle BCA = 52

I don't know why I went through all the trouble if I know no one is going to see this :'(. I just thought the other guy gave the wrong reasons

an athletic store sells about 200 pairs of basketball shoes per month when it charges $120 per pair. for each $2 increase in pri
liraira [26]
 <span>Let x = dollar increase in price 
Let y = fewer number of pairs sold 

Since 2 fewer shoes are sold for each 1 dollar (factor of 2) 

y = 2x 

Revenue = Number of shoes sold * Price charged per shoe 

Number of shoes sold = 200 - y = 200 - 2x 
Price charged per shoe = $60 + $x 

Revenue = (200 - 2x)(60 + x) = -2x^2 + 200x - 120x + 12000 
Revenue = -2x^2 + 80x + 12000 

In a quadratic equation, Revenue is maximized when x = -b / 2a. In this case: 

x - -80 / (2*-2) = $20 

Price charged per show = $60 + $x = $60 + $20 = $80. 

Maximum revenue = -2x^2 + 80x + 12000 (evaluated at x = $20) 

Maximum revenue = -2(20^2) + 80*20 + 12000 = $12800</span>
