A square and a rectangle have the same perimeter. The square has a side length of 8x units. The rectangle has a length of (10x+8

) units and a width of 10 units. What will be the perimeter of either the rectangle and the square?

Well we know that the perimeters are equal so:
Psquare = Prectangle

we know perimeter for square is the 4 sides of same lengths added up or 4*s

the perimeter of a rectangle is the then4 sides with 2 being equal added up so 2*L + 2*W

we know that a square side equAls s and it says that s=8x. So:
Psqu = 4 * (8x) (substitute 8x for s)

we know that the rectangle L =10x + 8 and W =10. So
Prect = 2 *(10x + 8) + 2 * (10)

we know :
Prect = Psqu so:
4 * (8x) =2 *(10x + 8) + 2 * (10)
32x = 20x + 16 + 20
12x = 36
x = 3

So if x equals 3 we can sub x in for square perimeter
Psqu = 4 *(8 * 3)
P = 4 * 24
P = 96

we can check this with rectangle perimeter
P = 2 *(10 * 3 + 8) + 2 *10
P = 2 * 38 + 20
P = 96

Determine whether each equation below does or does not represent a proportional relationship. support your answer using either a
Triss [41]

Answer:

  • As the ratio for all the points on the equation y = x is same. Hence, the equation y = x REPRESENTS a proportional relationship.
  • As the ratio for all the points on the equation y = x+2 is not same. Hence, the equation y = x + 2 DOES NOT REPRESENT a proportional relationship.

Step-by-step explanation:

                                        <u><em>Solving equation A: y = x </em></u>

Let us consider the given equation A:

                                                      y = x

  • Putting x = 1 in y = x

y = x

y = 1    ∵ x = 1

Hence, (1, 1) is the ordered pair of  y = x

  • Putting x = 2 in y = x

y = x

y = 2    ∵ x = 2

Hence, (2, 2) is the ordered pair of  y = x

  • Putting x = 3 in y = x

y = x

y = 3    ∵ x = 3

Hence, (3, 3) is the ordered pair of  y = x

  • Putting x = 4 in y = x

y = x

y = 4    ∵ x = 4

Hence, (4, 4) is the ordered pair of  y = x

  • Putting x = 5 in y = x

y = x

y = 5    ∵ x = 5

Hence, (5, 5) is the ordered pair of y = x

Lets us consider all the ordered pairs i.e. (1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3), (4, 4) and (5, 5) to make a table for y = x.

<em>y                 x</em>

1                  1

2                 2

3                 3

4                 4

5                 5

As from the table, lets take the ratio of every point i.e. y/x

  • For (1, 1), the ratio will be y/x ⇒ 1/1 = 1
  • For (2, 2), the ratio will be y/x ⇒ 2/2 = 1
  • For (3, 3), the ratio will be y/x ⇒ 3/3 = 1
  • For (4, 4), the ratio will be y/x ⇒ 4/4 = 1
  • For (5, 5), the ratio will be y/x ⇒ 5/5 = 1

Hence, the ratio for all the points on the equation y = x is same. Hence, the equation y = x REPRESENTS a proportional relationship. Please also check the graph in attached<em> figure a.</em>

                                          <u><em>Solving equation A: y = x +2</em></u>

Let us consider the given equation A:

                                                         y = x + 2    

  • Putting x = 1 in y = x + 2

y = x + 2

y = 1 + 2 ⇒ 3  ∵ x = 1

Hence, (1, 3) is the ordered pair of y = x + 2

  • Putting x = 2 in y = x + 2

y = x + 2

y = 2 +2 ⇒ 4   ∵ x = 2

Hence, (2, 4) is the ordered pair of y = x + 2

  • Putting x = 3 in y = x + 2

y = x + 2

y = 3 + 2 ⇒ 5    ∵ x = 3

Hence, (3, 5) is the ordered pair of  y = x + 2

  • Putting x = 4 in y = x + 2  

y = x + 2  

y = 4 + 2 ⇒ 6   ∵ x = 4

Hence, (4, 6) is the ordered pair of  y = x + 2

  • Putting x = 5 in y = x + 2

y = x + 2

y = 5 +2 ⇒ 7    ∵ x = 5

Hence, (5, 7) is the ordered pair of y = x + 2

Lets us consider all the ordered pairs i.e. (1, 3), (2, 4), (3, 5), (4, 6) and (5, 7) to make a table for y = x + 2.

<em>y                 x + 2</em>

1                  3

2                 4

3                 5

4                 6

5                 7

As from the table, lets take the ratio of every point i.e. y/x

  • For (1, 3), the ratio will be y/x ⇒ 3/1 = 3
  • For (2, 4), the ratio will be y/x ⇒ 4/2 = 2
  • For (3, 5), the ratio will be y/x ⇒ 5/3 = 5/3
  • For (4, 6), the ratio will be y/x ⇒ 6/4 = 3/2
  • For (5, 7), the ratio will be y/x ⇒ 7/5 = 7/5

Hence, the ratio for all the points on the equation y = x+2 is not same. Hence, the equation y = x + 2 DOES NOT REPRESENT a proportional relationship. Please also check the graph in attached<em> figure a.</em>

Can someone please help me with this ASAP!! (will mark as brainliest if correct)
sattari [20]

Answer:

P = 6x-2

x = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the perimeter, we add the sides

P = 4x-8 + 3-2x + 5x+3

Combine like terms

P = 4x-3x+5x  -8+3+3

  = 6x -2

Now we know the perimeter

82 = 6x-2

Add 2 to each side

82+2 = 6x-2+2

84 = 6x

Divide each side by 6

84/6 = 6x/6

14=x
