Answer:

5 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

If the smallest rectangle has a length of 8 meters, and a perimeter of 24 meters then its width is given by:

24 = 2*8+2*W_1\\W_1= 4\ meters

We can conclude that the width is half of the length for both rectangles. Therefore, the width of the larger rectangle, with a perimeter of 30 meters, is:

30 = 2*W_2+2*L_2\\30 = 2*W_2+4*W_2\\W_2=5\ meters

The width of the original rectangle is 5 meters.

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the scale factor

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its perimeters is equal to the scale factor

Let

z -----> the scale factor

P1 -----> the perimeter of the reduced rectangle on the right

P2 ----> the perimeter of the original rectangle on the left

substitute

step 2

Find the width of the reduced rectangle on the right

substitute the given values.

Find the width of the original rectangle on the left.

To find the width of the original rectangle on the left, divide the width of the reduced rectangle on the right by the scale factor.

What is x and what converse is used to find x
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

the third angle of the inner triangle is defined by using the rule that the sum of all angles in a triangle must be 180 degrees. let's call this angle a

180 = 48 + 16x + a

132 - 16x = a

and then we know that both angles, 28x and a together must also be 180, as they are complementing each other to cover the whole top of the base line.

so,

28x + 132 - 16x = 180

12x = 48

x = 4

Given the following triangle, what is the measure of the missing side?
Karolina [17]
It's a half of an equilateral triangle because their angles measure 30° and 60° (an equilateral triangle has 3 angles of 60°)
So x=(2h/√3)/2=h√3=27√3≈15.6

How many odd positive integers less than 300 can be written using the numbers 2,4,5,and 8
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

4!

Step-by-step explanation:

Given four numbers 2, 4, 6, 8.

The numbers can be arranged to form an odd number which is less than 300.

That means we have three spaces to fill this. We can try out the different combination of the numbers.

Note that the numbers should be odd. So, in the unit digit should only be 5. 2, 4, 8 would make the number even.

Also, the first digit can only be two because other numbers would make it bigger than 300.

So, 2 ___ 5 is fixed. The middle digit could be any of the four.

So, 225; 245; 255 and 285 all satisfy the conditions.

So, four numbers can be formed.
