If a rectangle is twice as long as it is wide and has a perimeter of 42 meters, what is the area of the rectangle?
| 8 m2 | |
| 98 m2 | |
| 18 m2 | |
| 72 m2 |
The area of a rectangle is width (w) x height (h). In this problem we know that the rectangle is twice as long as it is wide so h = 2w. The perimeter of a rectangle is 2w + 2h and we know that the perimeter of this rectangle is 42 meters so the equation becomes: 2w + 2h = 42.
Putting these two equations together and solving for width (w):
2w + 2h = 42
w + h = \( \frac{42}{2} \)
w + h = 21
w = 21 - h
From the question we know that h = 2w so substituting 2w for h gives us:
w = 21 - 2w
3w = 21
w = \( \frac{21}{3} \)
w = 7
Since h = 2w that makes h = (2 x 7) = 14 and the area = h x w = 7 x 14 = 98 m2
Solve 3 + (3 + 3) ÷ 5 x 2 - 42

Use PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multipy/Divide, Add/Subtract):
3 + (3 + 3) ÷ 5 x 2 - 42
P: 3 + (6) ÷ 5 x 2 - 42
E: 3 + 6 ÷ 5 x 2 - 16
MD: 3 + \( \frac{6}{5} \) x 2 - 16
MD: 3 + \( \frac{12}{5} \) - 16
AS: \( \frac{15}{5} \) + \( \frac{12}{5} \) - 16
AS: \( \frac{27}{5} \) - 16
AS: \( \frac{27 - 80}{5} \)
\( \frac{-53}{5} \)

A number in scientific notation has the format 0.000 x 10exponent. To convert to scientific notation, move the decimal point to the right or the left until the number is a decimal between 1 and 10. The exponent of the 10 is the number of places you moved the decimal point and is positive if you moved the decimal point to the left and negative if you moved it to the right:
6,441,000 in scientific notation is 6.441 x 106
What is 7x2 x 4x7?
| 28x9 | |
| 28x7 | |
| 11x14 | |
| 28x-5 |
To multiply terms with exponents, the base of both exponents must be the same. In this case they are so multiply the coefficients and add the exponents:
7x2 x 4x7
(7 x 4)x(2 + 7)
28x9
If \(\left|a\right| = 7\), which of the following best describes a?
a = -7 |
|
a = 7 |
|
a = 7 or a = -7 |
|
none of these is correct |
The absolute value is the positive magnitude of a particular number or variable and is indicated by two vertical lines: \(\left|-5\right| = 5\). In the case of a variable absolute value (\(\left|a\right| = 5\)) the value of a can be either positive or negative (a = -5 or a = 5).
