Answer:

length = 23 m

width = 16 m

Step-by-step explanation:

perimeter of a rectangle= p = 2*L+2*w

p = 78 =2*L+2*w

w=width

L=length

w = L-7

78 =2*L+2*w

78= 2L+2( L-7)

78= 2L+2L - 14

78+14= 4L

4L=92

L=92/4

L= 23 m = length

so we have:

w = L-7

w= 23-7= 16 m = width

Step-by-step explanation:

let the length of the rectangle be x

hence, the width of the rectangle is (x-7)

perimeter of a rectangle=2(l+w)

78=2(x+x-7)

78=2(2x-7)

78=4x-14

4x=78+14

x=92/4

therefore x or length=23 m

hence,width will be (x-7) or (23-7)=16m

Solve the equation. Then check your solution.
erica [24]

Answer:

A. 24

Step-by-step explanation:

n Over 54 EndFraction = StartFraction 4 Over 9 EndFraction

n/54 = 4/9

Cross product

n * 9 = 54 * 4

9n = 216

n = 216/9

n = 24

A. 24

Check:

n/54 = 4/9

24 / 54

Divide through by 6

= 4/9

We want to place a bench measuring 7.05 feet in the center of a platform that is 40.75 feet long. What is the distance from each
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:  The distance from each side of the bench to the edges of the platform = 16.85 feet.

Explanation:

Length of platform = 40.75 feet

Length of bench  = 7.05 feet

Let the distance from each side of the bench to the edges of the platform be x

So, it becomes x+7.05+x = 40.75

⇒2x+7.05= 40.75

⇒2x = 40.75- 7.05

⇒x = 33.7

⇒x=\frac{33.7}{2}

⇒x= 16.85 feet .

So, the distance from each side of the bench to the edges of the platform = 16.85 feet.

If M (4.2) is the midpoint of AB and A (-5, -3), find the coordinates of B.
loris [4]

Given:

M(4,2) is the midpoint of AB and A(-5, -3).

To find:

The coordinates of B.

Solution:

Let the coordinates of point B are (a,b).

Midpoint formula:

Midpoint=\left(\dfrac{x_1+x_2}{2},\dfrac{y_1+y_2}{2}\right)

M(4,2) is the midpoint of AB and A(-5, -3).

M=\left(\dfrac{-5+a}{2},\dfrac{-3+b}{2}\right)

(4,2)=\left(\dfrac{-5+a}{2},\dfrac{-3+b}{2}\right)

On comparing both sides, we get

4=\dfrac{-5+a}{2}

8=-5+a

8+5=a

13=a

And,

2=\dfrac{-3+b}{2}

4=-3+b

4+3=b

7=b

Therefore, the coordinates of point B are (13,7).

A=1/2(b1-b2)h <br><br> Solve for h
Phantasy [73]

Answer:

2A/ (b1-b2) =h

Step-by-step explanation:

A = 1/2 (b1-b2) *h

Multiply each side by 2

2A = 2 *1/2*(b1-b2) *h

2A = (b1-b2) *h

Divide by (b1-b2)

2A/ (b1-b2) = (b1-b2)/(b1-b2) *h

2A/ (b1-b2) =h
