The width is 3m because 3*7 is 21m^2. Also they said the length is 4 more than the width (3+4=7)
Answer:
x=8
A = 192
Step-by-step explanation:
The perimeter is the sum of the outer lengths
17.9 + 22.6 + 3x = 64.5
Combine like terms
40.5 +3x = 64.5
Subtract 40.5 from each side
40.5 +3x -40.5 = 64.5 - 40.5
3x =24
Divide each side by 3
3x/3 = 24/3
x = 8
The area of a triangle is given by
A = 1/2 bh
The base is 3x = 3(8) =24
and the height is 2x = 2(8) =16
A = 1/2 (24) * 16
A =192
