Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Width = x

Length = x +2

Perimeter = 60 m

2*(length + width) = 60

2*(x + 2 + x) = 60

2*(2x + 2) = 60

    2x + 2 = 60/2

    2x + 2 = 30

          2x = 30-2

          2x = 28

           x = 28/2

          x = 14

Width = 14 m

Length = 14+ 2 = 16 m

Answer: The width is 14m

Step-by-step explanation: The question has provided the perimeter as 60. The available clues are such that the length measures 2m more than it's width. This means whatever is the width of the rectangle, the length shall be equal to plus 2. Hence, if the width is W, the length is W + 2.

So we have,

Perimeter = 60

Length = W + 2 and

Width = W

Already the perimeter is given as

Perimeter = 2(L + W)

We can now express the perimeter as follows;

60 = 2(W + 2 + W)

60 = 2(2 + 2W)

By cross multiplication we now have

60/2 = 2 + 2W

30 = 2 + 2W

Subtract 2 from both sides of the equation

28 = 2W

Divide both sides of the equation by 2

14 = W.

Remember that the length is given as W + 2, so the length becomes

14 + 2 = 16

Therefore, the width equals 14 m.

Solution:

<u>First, let's find the surface area of the triangular prism.</u>

  • 2(1/2 x 8 x 12) + 2(10 x 6) + (12 x 6) = Surface area of triangular prism
  • => (8 x 12) + 2(60) + (72) = Surface area of triangular prism
  • => (96) + 120 + 72 = Surface area of triangular prism
  • => 96 + 192 = Surface area of triangular prism
  • => 288 ft² = Surface area of triangular prism

<u>Now, let's find the surface area of the rectangular prism.</u>

  • 2(18 x 9) + 2(6 x 9) + 2(6 x 18)
  • => 2(162) + 2(54) + 2(108)
  • => 324 + 108 + 216
  • => 2(324) = 648 ft²

<u>Now, add both the surface areas to find the surface area of the figure.</u>

  • 288 + 648 = Surface area of figure
  • => 936 ft² = Surface area of figure

The surface area of the figure is 936 ft².

m_a_m_a [10]

Answer: 41.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of tickets sold on day one = 23

Number of tickets sold on day two = 25

Number of tickets sold on day three = 35

Total tickets sold = 23 + 25 + 35 = 83

Since they want to share it equally, each boy will have:

= 83/2

= 41.5
