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.
Answer:
46.6
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Z=16
Step-by-step explanation:
just add 12 to both sides so you are left with only Z on one side
Let the speed of the current equal c
and the speed of the boat in still water equal b.
b + c = 1.5 (b - c)
b + c = 1.5b - 1.5c
0.5b = 2.5c
b = 5c
The speed of the current is 1.5 mph so
b = 5 * 1.5 = 7.5 mph
