Length = Width+6

Area = W * L

Area = W * (W+6)

Multiply it out

Area = W^2 + 6W

Area=72

72 = W^2 + 6W

subtract 72 from both sides

0 = W^2 + 6W - 72

12 * 6 = 72

12 - 6 = 6

Factor it

0 = (W-6)(W+12)

W = 6 and W = -12

Width must be 6 cm because Width can't be negative

L = W+6

L = 6 + 6

L = 12 cm

Answer:

In ∆ABD and ∆ACD

<BAD =<CAD ( each are half of <A )

<D=<D ( each equal to 90°)

AD = AD ( common)

So ∆ ABD is congruent to ∆ ACD.

Then AB =AC (by C.P.C.T)

Hence,∆ABC is an iso - sceles triangle.

Answer:

divide the 13 motorcycles by the total number of vehicles and then multiply by 100%

43 cars

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the percent of motorcycles in traffic

divide the number of motorcycles by the total number of vehicles and then multiply by 100%

Mode means most often. In a histogram, it is the tallest column. It is the first column, which looks like 43 cars

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's add the amounts earned together to find his total earnings. This is 60 + 84 + 72 + 96 + 48 = $360. If he had $218 left over the skis cost 360 - 218 = $142.

Grace weighed 167 pounds before she started her exercise program.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Weight lost by Grace = 45 pounds

Weight of Grace after exercise weeks = 122 pounds

Let,

x represents the weight of Grace before she started the exercise program.

Loss means subtraction, therefore,

We will subtract the lost weight from original weight.

Original weight - Weight lost = Weight after exercise weeks

$x-45=122$

Adding 45 on both sides

$x-45+45=122+45\\x=167\ pounds$

Grace weighed 167 pounds before she started her exercise program.

I've been trying to get an answer for this all day and don't know where to begin what is the answer like I have no clue

Shtirlitz [24]

so, we have two 54x18 rectangles, so their perimeter is simply all those units added together, 54+54+54+54+18+18+18+18 = 288.

we know the circle's diameter is 1.5 times the width, well, the width is 18, so the diameter of the circle must be 1.5*18 = 27.

$\bf \stackrel{\textit{circumference of a circle}}{C=d\pi }~~ \begin{cases} d=diameter\\[-0.5em] \hrulefill\\ d=27 \end{cases}\implies C=27\pi \implies C=\stackrel{\pi =3.14}{84.78} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{perimeter of the rectangles}}{288}~~~~+~~~~\stackrel{\textit{perimeter of the circle}}{84.78}~~~~=~~~~372.78$
