the length of a rectangle is 4cm langer than the width. the perimeter is 80cm. what is the length and the width?

1 answer:

4 0

Let us assume the width of the rectangle = x cm
Then
The length of the rectangle = (x + 4) cm
It is already given that
Perimeter of the rectangle = 80 cm
Now we also know the formula for perimeter of a rectangle
Perimeter = 2 ( length + width)
80 = 2 (x + 4 + x)
80 = 2 (2x + 4)
80/2 = 2x + 4
40 = 2x + 4
Dividing both sides by 2 we get
20 = x + 2
20 -2 = x
x = 18
Then
Width of the rectangle = 18 cm
Length of the rectangle = (18 + 4) cm
= 22 cm
So the rectangle has a length of 22 cm and a width of 18 cm.

Answer:

T(2, -7) = (4, -10)

Step-by-step explanation:

T(x, y) = (x + 2, y - 3)

T(2, -7) = (2 + 2, -7 - 3)

T(2, -7) = (4, -10)

Find the value of the trigonometric ratio. Simplify the ratio if possible.

sweet [91]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

BC = 8

Ac = 15

We can find AB using the pythagoas theorem.

$AB=\sqrt{AC^2+BC^2}\\\\=\sqrt{15^2+8^2}\\\\AB=17$

We know that,

$\cos\theta=\dfrac{B}{H}$ , B is base and H is Hypotenuse

$\cosB=\dfrac{8}{17}$

Hence, this is the required solution.

How do you find the equation to 1/3 of 27?

NeX [460]

To find 1/3 of 27 divide 27 by the denominator (which in this case would be 3) then multiply by the numerator (which is one) so you'd do 27 divided by 3 then multiply by 1
