An artist is creating a sculpture using bendable metal rods of equal length. One rod is formed into the shape of a square and an

other rod into the shape of an equilateral triangle. If each side of the triangle is 2 inches longer than each side of the square, how long, in inches, is each rod?

Check the picture below.

so notice, their perimeter is the same, because the perimeter is just one rod anyway, and all rods are the same length, thus

\bf P_s=P_t\implies 4s=3(s+2)\implies 4s=3s+6\implies s=6

Answer:

24 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that an artist creating a sculpture using bendable metal rods of equal length.

One rod is in square shape and second rod is in equilateral triangle shape.

We have to find the length of each rod

Let side of square= x inches

Length of each side of equilateral triangle =x+2 inches

We know that perimeter of square=4\times side

Perimeter of equilateral triangle=3\times side

Using the above formula

Then , Length of square shaped rod=perimeter of square =4x

Perimeter of equilateral triangle =Length of equilateral shaped rod=3(x+2)

Length of square shaped rod=Length of equilateral triangle  shaped rod

4x=3(x+2)

4x=3x+6

4x-3x=6

x=6

Length of each side of square =6 inches

Length of square shaped rod=4\times 6=24 inches

Length of each side of equilateral side=6+2=8 inches

Length of equilateral shaped rod=8\times 3=24 inches

Answer:

A. 17.5

Step-by-step explanation:

4x+8 27

L-------------M-------------------------N

<------------------ 6x -------------------->

LM = 4x+8

MN = 27

LN = 6x

LM + MN = LN

4x+8 + 27 = 6x

35 = 2x

17.5 = x

After I looked up some quick information, your car loses 15-25% each year. After 5 years, it goes to only 37%. So, a car that would cost 20000 would be valued at around 7k after 5 years. So, in the first 5 years, it lost 14k. Also, a 1999 Corolla goes for 2.5k, and that's nearly 20 years. So, I'm just going to go with, based off these numbers, probably 25-30 years...if it still works by then.
Also, if you get in a heavy accident the next day, making the car unusable, you rip off your friend. The first scenario only applies if the engine works well and no accidents were on the vehicle either.
