Answer:
27 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Combined perimeter = perimeter of rectangle + perimeter of triangle = 63 inches
Perimeter of rectangle = 2(L + W)
L = 11 in.
W = 7 in.
Perimeter of rectangle = 2(11 + 7) = 36 in.
Let perimeter of the triangle be represented by x
Therefore:
36 + x = 63
Subtract 36 from each side
x = 63 - 36
x = 27
Perimeter of triangle = 27 inches
210 pieces
Step-by-step explanation:
First, you need to figure out how many pieces a single machine can cut in a minute, so you need to divide 105 by 3, which gets you 35 pieces per minute.
Next, since we know there are 6 machines, and one machine canncut 35 pieces per minute, we can the figure out how many pieces all 6 cutting machines can cut in 1 minute. You would do this by making an equation such as this:
The x represents the total number of pieces cut by all 6 machines in one minute.
Next, since we now have an equation, we can go ahead and solve it. We would multiply 35 by 6, which would get us 210 pieces per minute that can be cut by all six machines
