Answer:12:10
Step-by-step explanation:
So first, I would assign the small van a variable for how many people it can hold, or x.
So since it makes two trips,
2x
And since the other van can hold six more people,
2x + x + 6
And 57 people are transported:
3x + 6 = 57
We can then solve.
3x = 57 - 6
3x = 51
x = 17
So since we now know a small can hold 17 people, and we know that the larger van has 6 more seats, we can just say
17 + 6 = 23
So the large van has 23 seats.
Perimeter is adding all 4 sides together.
To find the length and width divide total perimeter by 2:
21 / 2 = 10.5
We now know the length of 1 side and the width of 1 side need to equal 10.5.
Since the original piece was a square we also know the width needs to equal 1/2 of the length.
So we have L + 1/2L = 10.5
Add the common terms 1 L + 1/2 L = 1 and 1/2 L
To Find L divide 10.5 by 1-1/2, which equals 7
To find the width subtract 7 from 10.5, which equals 3.5
So the paper is now 3.5 inches by 7 inches.
A triangle that has no two right angles is called a scalene triangle. If the triangle has two right angles, it is
called isosceles triangle. A triangle with equal sides is called an equilateral
triangle.
