To find the perimeter of this blue figure, add together the shown lengths of the six sides.
The three measurements on the top have the LCD 4, so we combine 14 3/4, 4 2/4 and 8 2/4. The sum is 26 7/4, or 27 3/4, or 27.75.
The three measurements on the bottom share the LCD 5, so we can immediately combine them, obtaining 32 8/5, or 33 3/5, or 33.60.
Combining 27.75 and 33.60 results in 61.35, or 61 35/100, or 61 7/20.
The perimeter of the given figure is 61 7/20.
Add 5 to 5, or multiple 5 by 2.
Let b= length and a=width
Area= a*b and the problem said b=2a+3 (the length is 3ft more than double the width)
Replace b into Area formula:
Area= a*(2a+3) and we know that Area=77ft from the problem, so:
77=2a^2+3a now order and equal to zero:
2a^2+3a=77 now solve this with quadratic formula and you will get so values for a: -7ft and 5.5ft as you know the dimensions could not be negative so the correct answer for "a" side is 5.5ft, for getting the b side you haeve to replace a=5.5 into b=2a+3 and you will get b=2*5.5+3= 14ft.
Finished.
(1-z) can combine with other coupons
2 or 3 I think is the answer for number 5
