The length of a rectangle is 12 in. and the perimeter is 56 in. find the width of the rectangle

1 answer:

8 0

The perimeter p of the rectangle with length l and width w is:
p = 2l + 2w
that is, two times its length and two times its width, lets solve for the width w and substitute known data:
p = 2l + 2w
2w = p - 2l
w = (p - 2l)/2
w = (56 - (2*12))/2
w = (56 - 24)/2
w = 32/2
w = 16
therefore the width of the rectangle is 16 in

I believe your answer is:

1 (15/16)

Here’s why:

⸻⸻⸻⸻

$\boxed{\text{Converting the Fractions...}}\\\\\rightarrow \frac{1}{2}=\frac{1*8}{2*8}= \boxed{\frac{8}{16}}\\\\\text{We would only compare the fractions because we have the same whole number.}\\\\\frac{8}{16} 1\frac{1}{2}}$

Hope this helps you. I apologize if it’s incorrect.

A traveler pulls a suitcase, as shown in the figure.

Answer:

2758 Nm

Step-by-step explanation

Work done usually depends on two things force applied and distance travelled due to applied force. In this current scenario, the force is being applied at an angle so we will have to find a component of force in the direction of the movement.

We usually find component using cos θ.

Here θ is 40°

Now, the modified equation becomes,

Work Done = Force * Distance * Component of force along the direction of distance

∴ Work = 30 N * 120 m * Cos 40°

⇒Work = 30 * 120 * 0.766

⇒Work = 2757.6 Nm

Rounding to the nearest whole number.

∴ The work done by force is 2758 Nm which is option B
