The length of a rectangle is twice its width. if the perimeter is 72 meters, find the length and width of the rectangle

1 answer:

6 0

Length(l)= 2w
width(w)= w

Perimeter(P)= 2w+2l= 72 (simplify expression: divide each side by 2 )
P= w+l= 36 (plug in "2w" for "l")
P= w+(2w)= 36
P= 3w= 36 (divide each side by 3 to find the width)
w= 12 units

find length:
l=2w
l= 2(12)
l= 24 units

Answer:
The length of this rectangle is 24 units and the width is 12 units.

Simplify this: log√24+ log6

Kitty [74]

simplifying $log\sqrt{24}+log6$ we get $log(12\sqrt{6})$

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to simplify: $log\sqrt{24}+log6$

Solving:

Applying the rule:

log a + log b = log(ab)

$log\sqrt{24}+log6\\=log(6\sqrt{24})\\\sqrt{24} = \sqrt{2*2*2*3} =\sqrt{2^2*6} =\sqrt{2^2} \sqrt{6}=2\sqrt{6}\\ Putting\,\,value:\\=log(6*2\sqrt{6})\\=log(12\sqrt{6})$

So, simplifying $log\sqrt{24}+log6$ we get $log(12\sqrt{6})$

Answer:

Cups of carrot needed for 9 servings = 4.5 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

A recipe for sesame chicken calls for cup of chopped carrots

recipe 2 is for 4 servings

That is

2 cups of carrot = 4 servings

2 : 4

= 1 : 2

1 cup of carrot = 2 servings

how many cups of

carrots are needed for 9 servings?

Let x= number of carrot needed for 9 servings

1 : 2 = x : 9

1 /2 = x/ 9

Cross product

1*9 = 2*x

9=2x

Divide both sides by 2

9/2 = x

x= 4.5 Or 4 1/2
