Hi there!
We can find the perimeter of a rectangle by using the following formula:
perimeter = 2 × width + 2 × length
In the question, we are given the following data: the length of the rectangle is 12 in and the perimeter is 56. Let's substitute this into our formula!
56 = 2 × width + 2 × 12
Multiply first.
56 = 2 × width + 24
Now subtract 24 from both sides.
32 = 2 × width
And finally, to find the width of the rectangle, divide both sides of the equation by 2.
16 = width
(we can eventually switch sides in the equation).
width = 16
~ Hope this helps you!
I think your answer is going to be 23
A = account
M = money
w = weeks
A = Mw
Hope this helps! Any questions let me know :)
Answer:
7.8 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The shadow, the ground and the distance between the top of the tree and end of the shadow form 2 right-angled triangles which are similar.
So corresponding sides are in the same ratio. Therefore:-
40 / 12 = 26/x where x is the length of shadow cast by the smaller tree.
40x = 12*26
x = (12*26) / 40
= 7.8 feet
