The perimeter of a rectangle is 150cm. The length is 15cm greater than the width. Find the dimensions

1 answer:

7 0

150/4 = 37.5cm. You divide by four because there are four sides on a rectangle. But 37.5 is the cm of a square. Since it says one of the sides is 15cm greater, you subtract 37.5 - 15 = 27.5cm on 2 of the width. While the other 2 lengths are greater than the width by 15 cm, so you add 15 to 37.5 which gives you 52.5cm. So the 2 width are 27.5cm and the length is 52.5cm.

Rewrite as a simplified fraction. 2. 14 ‾ = ?

SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

1/7

Step-by-step explanation:

- I can't really tell what the fraction you have is, I am assuming it is 2/14. If that is correct, simplify by finding a common number.

- Ask yourself, what can both be divided by? (Answer is 2)

- Knowing both simplify by 2, divide the numerator (top) and denominator (bottom) by 2.

- You should get 1/7 (2/2 = 1 and 14/2 = 7)

- If you have any further questions on this topic please let me know. I would be glad to help anytime!

Lia has a dog and a cat. Together, the pets weigh 24 pounds. The dog weighs 2 times as much as the cat.

telo118 [61]

Answer:

The dog weighs 16 pounds, while the cat weighs 8 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the weight of the dog d, and the weight of the cat c.

d+c=24

d=2c

Substitute the second equation into the first:

(2c)+c=24

3c=24

c=8

d=24-8=16

Hope this helps!

What is x+y=10;y=x+10

Alenkasestr [34]

[ Answer ]

$\boxed{\bold{X \ = \ 0, \ Y \ = \ 10}}$

[ Explanation ]

System Of Equations $\bold{\left \{ {X \ + \ Y \ = \ 10} \atop {Y \ + \ X \ = \ 10}} \right.}$

-----------------------------------

[Substitute] Y = X + 10

$\bold{\begin{bmatrix}x+x+10=10\end{bmatrix}}$

Isolate x for x + x + 10 = 10: x = 0

For y = 10

Substitute x = 0

Y = 0 + 10

0 + 10 = 10

y = 10

Solutions

X = 0

Y = 10

$\boxed{\bold{[] \ Eclipsed \ []}}$
