Set up a ratio. But first convert the height of the puzzle to feet so we are comparing the same unit of measure.


STEP 1
convert 24 inches to feet

12 inches= 1 foot

24 inches= 2 feet


STEP 2
set up ratio.

= 2 feet/556 feet or 2:556
simplify both by 2

= 1 ft/278 ft or 1:278


ANSWER: 1/278 or 1:278 (can be written either way)

Hope this helps! :)

Translation of the length of a rectangle is 2 feet greater than twice its width. If the perimeter is 25 feet, fine the width
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of a rectangle=(length+width)×2

Let W=x, L=2x+2

25=[(2x+2)+x]×2

25=[2x+2+x]×2

Solve for x

25/2=3x+2

25/2-2=3x

25-4/2=3x

21\2=3x=7/2=x

Fantom [35]

Answer:

C 109

Step-by-step explanation:

First add all the known angles inside the triangle first to get 109°

Then since all angles in a triangle add to 180°

you take away 109 from 180 so

180-109 which equals 71

Then since all angles on a straight line add up to 180°

you take 71 from 180 so

180-71 = 109

so x = 109°
