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

Dimtry bought a pair of pants at the discounted price of $30. The original price of the pants was $40. What was the percent of t
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Say we start from the beginning with $40. If the pants are discounted but we don't know the percent discount, then we need a variable, x:

40 - x% * 40 = 30

The total is 40. When we take a discount off of 40, we are taking a percent of 40 and subtracting that from 40. From the problem, this should be 30. Thus, the equation above.

Add x%*40 to both sides and subtract 30 from both sides:

x%*40 = 10

Divide by 40:

x% = 1/4 = 0.25

Multiply each side by 100:

x = 25

The answer is 25%.

Answer:

(ab - 6)(2ab + 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming you require the expression factorised.

2a²b² - 7ab - 30

Consider the factors of the product of the coefficient of the a²b² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the ab- term

product = 2 × - 30 = - 60 and sum = - 7

The factors are - 12 and + 5

Use these factors to split the ab- term

= 2a²b² - 12ab + 5ab - 30 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )

= 2ab(ab - 6) + 5(ab - 6) ← factor out (ab - 6) from each term

= (ab - 6)(2ab + 5) ← in factored form
