Step-by-step explanation:
The perimeter (P) of a rectangle is calculated as
P = 2l + 2w ( l is the length and w the width )
perimeter of rectangle A = 2(7) + 2(5) = 14 + 10 = 24 in
perimeter of rectangle B = 2(4x - 3) + 2x = 8x - 6 + 2x = 10x - 6 in
Equating the two gives
10x - 6 = 24 ( add 6 to both sides )
10x = 30 ( divide both sides by 10 )
x = 3
Thus
length of rectangle B = 4x - 3 = 4(3) - 3 = 12 - 3 = 9 in
Width of rectangle B = x = 3 in
#3: 15
#4: 13.2
#5: 5.44 (curious as to how you guessed 7)
#6: 7
#7: 7.3
#8: 15
#9: You'd round 0.9 to 1 and 3.78 to 4. 4/1 = 4
#10: Round 2.5 to 3. 36/3 = 12
#11: If they want you to round 0.25 down to 0, then 7/0 is undefined.
#12: 9.5 rounds to 10 142.5 rounds to 143. 143/10 = 14.3
#14: 24.8 cm divided by 175 = approximately 0.1417 cm per year. Round that up to approximately 0.14 per year.
