If a rectangle is twice as long as it is wide and has a perimeter of 12 meters, what is the area of the rectangle?
| 8 m2 | |
| 162 m2 | |
| 72 m2 | |
| 128 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 12 meters so the equation becomes: 2w + 2h = 12.
Putting these two equations together and solving for width (w):
2w + 2h = 12
w + h = \( \frac{12}{2} \)
w + h = 6
w = 6 - h
From the question we know that h = 2w so substituting 2w for h gives us:
w = 6 - 2w
3w = 6
w = \( \frac{6}{3} \)
w = 2
Since h = 2w that makes h = (2 x 2) = 4 and the area = h x w = 2 x 4 = 8 m2
If there were a total of 350 raffle tickets sold and you bought 14 tickets, what's the probability that you'll win the raffle?
| 2% | |
| 18% | |
| 4% | |
| 9% |
You have 14 out of the total of 350 raffle tickets sold so you have a (\( \frac{14}{350} \)) x 100 = \( \frac{14 \times 100}{350} \) = \( \frac{1400}{350} \) = 4% chance to win the raffle.
What is \( 6 \)\( \sqrt{8} \) - \( 7 \)\( \sqrt{2} \)
| 42\( \sqrt{4} \) | |
| -1\( \sqrt{4} \) | |
| 5\( \sqrt{2} \) | |
| -1\( \sqrt{8} \) |
To subtract these radicals together their radicands must be the same:
6\( \sqrt{8} \) - 7\( \sqrt{2} \)
6\( \sqrt{4 \times 2} \) - 7\( \sqrt{2} \)
6\( \sqrt{2^2 \times 2} \) - 7\( \sqrt{2} \)
(6)(2)\( \sqrt{2} \) - 7\( \sqrt{2} \)
12\( \sqrt{2} \) - 7\( \sqrt{2} \)
Now that the radicands are identical, you can subtract them:
12\( \sqrt{2} \) - 7\( \sqrt{2} \)a(b + c) = ab + ac defines which of the following?

distributive property for division |

commutative property for multiplication |
The distributive property for multiplication helps in solving expressions like a(b + c). It specifies that the result of multiplying one number by the sum or difference of two numbers can be obtained by multiplying each number individually and then totaling the results: a(b + c) = ab + ac. For example, 4(10-5) = (4 x 10) - (4 x 5) = 40 - 20 = 20.
What is \( \frac{56\sqrt{12}}{8\sqrt{3}} \)?
| \(\frac{1}{4}\) \( \sqrt{7} \) | |
| \(\frac{1}{7}\) \( \sqrt{4} \) | |
| 7 \( \sqrt{4} \) | |
| \(\frac{1}{7}\) \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{4}} \) |
To divide terms with radicals, divide the coefficients and radicands separately:
\( \frac{56\sqrt{12}}{8\sqrt{3}} \)
\( \frac{56}{8} \) \( \sqrt{\frac{12}{3}} \)
7 \( \sqrt{4} \)
