Perimeter (P) = 2L + 2w


68 = 2L + 2w


68 - 2L = 2w


2(34 - L) = 2(w)


34 - L = w


********************                                


Area (A) = L * w


     240 = L (34 - L)


     240 = 34L - L²


L² - 34L + 240 = 0


(L - 10)(L - 24) = 0


L = 10  or  L = 24


w = 34 - L   = 34 - 10   = 24      or      w = 34 - 24   = 10


Answer: width = 10, length = 24   assuming length is bigger than the width

Perimeter (P) = 2L + 2w

68 = 2L + 2w

68 - 2L = 2w

2(34 - L) = 2(w)

34 - L = w

********************

     240 = 34L - L²

L² - 34L + 240 = 0

(L - 10)(L - 24) = 0

L = 10  or  L = 24

w = 34 - L   = 34 - 10   = 24      or      w = 34 - 24   = 10

Answer: width = 10, length = 24  <em>assuming length is bigger than the width</em>

When x=1 the perimeters of both figures will be equal.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

The triangle has side lengths of x+1, x+4, and x+4.

The perimeter of the triangle is the sum of the lengths of the sides.

The perimeter of the triangle = x+1+x+4+x+4 = 3x + 9.

Step 2:

The perimeter of the hexagon is 6 times its side length. The side length =2x.

The perimeter of the hexagon= 6(2x) = 12x.

Step 3:

To determine the value at which both the perimeters are equal, we equate both the equations to each other.

3x+9 = 12x, 9 = 9x, x =1.

So when x=1 the perimeters of both figures will be equal.

A scoop of ice cream is in the shape of a perfect sphere and it sits on top of a cone. The diameter of the sphere equals the dia
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

(At least) 10 centimeters.

Step-by-step explanation:

The radius of the ice cream scoop is 2.5 cm and the radius of the cone is also 2.5 cm.

We want to determine the height of the cone such that it will fit all of the ice cream when it melts without any spilling.

First, we will find the volume of the ice cream scoop. The volume for a sphere is given by:

Since the radius is 2.5 cm, the volume of the full ice cream scoop is:

The volume of a cone is given by:

The radius of the cone is 2.5 cm. Therefore:

The volume of the cone should be equal to the volume of the scoop. So.

The height of the cone should be (at least) 10 cm.
