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!

You start driving north for 24 miles, turn right, and drive east for another 10 miles. At the end of driving, what is your strai
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

26 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: 24 miles drive to north.

          10 miles drive to east.

Driving pattern form a right angle triangle, which has three leg including straight line distance from starting point (hypotenous).

Now, using Pythogorean theoram to find straight line distance from starting point.

h²= a²+b²

Where, h is hypotenous

            a is opposite leg

            b is adjacent leg.

⇒h²= 24^{2} + 10^{2}

⇒h^{2} = 576+100

⇒h^{2} = 676

Taking square root on both side, remember; √a²= ±a

⇒h=\sqrt{676}

∴ h= \pm 26

Ignoring -26 as distance cannot be negative.

Hence, 26 miles is the straight line distance from starting point.

1 2/6 = 6/6 + 2/6
answer is A.

----------------------
5/8 - 4/8 = 1/8
answer is B 1/8 lb
---------------------------
1 6/8 = 14/8
1 3/8 = 11/8
14/8 + 11/8 = 25/8 = 3 1/8
answer is C. 3 1/8 miles
-----------------------
1 7/100 + 4 6/10 = 5 67/100 (5 and 67/100)

------------------------------------

3/4(4) =3
1/4(2) = 1/2

3 - 1/2 = 6/2 - 1/2 = 5/2 = 10/4

answer is C. 10/4 ft
