Answer:

<h2>Width = 7.6 ft.</h2><h2>Length = 12.7 ft.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of a rectangle (P) = 2L + 2W

where

P = 40.6 ft.

L = 2W-2.5

plugin values into the formula:

40.6 = 2(2W-2.5) + 2W

40.6 = 4W - 5 + 2W

40.6 + 5 = 6W

W = 45.6 / 6

W = 7.6 ft.

L = 2W-2.5

L = 2(7.6) - 2.5

L = 12.7 ft.

proof:

P = 2(12.7) + 2(7.6)

P = 40.6 ft.

Which expression represents the distance between the points (a, 0) and (0, 5) on a coordinate grid?

Mashcka [7]

$\displaystyle d= \sqrt{(x_1-x_0)^2+(y_1-y_0)^2}$ - d is distance, (x_1,y_1) and (x_0,y_0) two points on a coordinate grid.

In our case :
$(x_1,y_1)=(a,0)\\(x_0,y_0)=(0,5)$

$d= \sqrt{(a-0)^2+(0-5)^2} = \sqrt{a^2+25}$

Answer:

Subtract two from 8, the remainder is x. In this case, it is 6.

For future questions, try to think of x as a mystery number rather than a letter. You got this. :)
