You need to do this in several steps.

1) Using the given length and width of the rectangle, find its area.
2) Then using the base and height of the triangle, find its area.
3) Since the areas are equal, set the expressions equal to each other, and solve for x.
4) Using the value of x you found, find the length and width of the rectangle and find its perimeter.

1) The area of the rectangle is A = LW
Area of Rectangle = (x + 2)x = x^2 + 2x

2) The area of the triangle is A = (1/2)bh
Area of Triangle = (1/2)(24)x = 12x

3) Set the areas equal and solve for x

x^2 + 2x = 12x

x^2 - 10x = 0

x(x - 10) = 0

x = 0 or x = 10

Since a width cannot be 0, we discard x = 0, and keep x = 10.

4) The length is x + 2 = 10 + 2 = 12
The width is x = 10

The perimeter is 2(L + W) = 2(10 + 2) = 2(22) = 44

The perimeter is 44 cm.

Michelle is giving away prizes at one of her meetings.the prizes include 5 stress balls , 3 notepads , 2gift cards and 6 sticky
harina [27]

Answer:

13 out of 16 (13/16)

Step-by-step explanation:

Add all of the items together.

5 stress balls + 3 notepads + 2 gift cards + 6 sticky notes = 16 items

So, now you have to find the probability out of 16.

Since there are 5 stress balls and 2 gift cards, there is a 5 out of 16 chance of passing out stress balls(5/16) and a 2 out 16 chance of handing out gift cards(2/16)

So, she has a 3 out 16 chance of handing out stress balls more than gift cards.

hope this helps and makes sense:)

If y varies directly as the square root of x and y=12 when x = 16 , find x when y = 15

= 19 this is the answer I'm guessing since 16-12= 4 so 16 is 4 more than 12
