Hi there!
We can see this by writing the factors as multipliers. We get the following:
Now we can see that the terms that are in common are 3 and a, and therefore we can bring those outside the parenthesis.
Answer:
length is 20 and the width is 5
Step-by-step explanation:
so Area is 100
Area = width * length
legth = 4 * width
This means:
Area = width * 4 width => Area = 5 * width
We know that area is 100 so:
100 = 5 * width
that means width = 20, but wait didn't I say that the length is 20? Yes, remember we said length = 4 * width at the beginning, so <u>length = 20</u>.
Now we can easily calculate width as width is 4 times smaller than length, so:
<u>width = 20/4 => 5</u>
We can also test if this is correct by simply using the formula to calculate rectangle. So 5 * 20 = 100, correct!
So what we're dealing with here is a similar triangle situation. Since ML is a midsegment, that means that IL and LJ are congruent. So, IL=LJ=13. This means that the whole side IJ is 26 (13+13=26). We also know that triangle IML and triangle IKJ are similar triangles, so their sides are proportional. This means that we can set up the ratio:
12/13 = x/26
and solve for x.
After multiplying 26 to both sides of the equation, we find that x=24, so KJ=24.

Answer:
$39.15
Step-by-step explanation:
87 x .55 = 47.85
87-47.85= 39.15
