Let L be the length
Let w be the width
Let p be the perimeter
L+w+L+w=p
L=w+20
3L+2w+3L+2w=240
Sub the first equation in for L in the second equation and solve for w
3(w+20)+2w+3(w+20)+2w=240
3w+60+2w+3w+60+2w=240
10w+120=240
10w=240-120
10w=120
W=120/10
W=12
Sub w into the first equation and solve for L
L=w+20
L=12+20
L=32
Hope this helps!

an umbrella is made by stitching 10 triangular pieces of cloth of two different colours where each pieces measuring 48cm,48cm,an
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

first we need to calculate the area of isosceles triangle having sides 48cm, 48cm and 30cm

a = 48

b= 30

Area of isosceles triangle using only sides = ½[√(a^2 − b^2 /4) × b]

= 1/2*30√( 48² - 1/4×30²)

=1/2*30√ (2304 -225)

=684sq cm

cost required to make umbrella= 10*684*5

= 3<em>4200</em>

Consider the first four terms of an arithmetic sequence below.
VMariaS [17]
7, 13, 19 and 25 have a common difference:  6.  
6 added to 7 gives us 13; 6 added to 13 gives us 19, and so on.

Explicit formula:  a(n) = 7 + 6(n-1), where 7 is the first term and n is the counter (1, 2, 3, ...).

The first term is 7 (given).  This corresponds to n=1.

The second term is a(2) = 7 + 6(2-1), or 7 + 6, or 13.  This corresponds to n = 2.

and so on.

Ja'kniya and Alayjah are shopping at the Apple Store. Ja'kniya bought 4 screensavers and 3 Otterboxes for $29. Alayjah bought 6
Katarina [22]

Answer:  Each screensaver costs $2 and each Otterbox costs $7.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = Cost of each screensaver and y = cost of each Otterbox.

As per given, 4x+3y=29       (i)

6x +2y = 26  (ii)

Divide both sides of (i) by 2 and the multiply it by 3 on sides , we get

9x+3y=39    (iii)

Eliminate (i) from (iii) , we get

5x = 10

⇒ x = 2  [Divide both sides by 5]

Put value of x in (i), we get

4(2)+3y=29

⇒ 8+3y= 29

⇒ 3y= 21

⇒ y =7 [Divide both sides by 7]

Hence, Each screensaver costs $2 and each Otterbox costs $7.
