5-a/8=4/7 solve for a show your work

1 answer:

6 0

Subtract 5 from both sides
a/-8 = 4/7 - 5

simplify 4/7 - 5 to 31/-7
a/-8 = 31/-7

multiply both sides by 8
-a = 31/-7 x 8

simplify 31/7 x 8 to 248/7
-a = 248/7

multiply both sides by -1.
The answer is a = 248/7

Nitella [24]

We know that
<span>Of all the rectangles having same area, square has the least perimeter
</span>
area of square=x²
where
x is the length side of the square
A=72 cm²
72=x²
x=√72-----> x=6√2 cm

Perimeter of square=4*x------> 4*(6√2)-----> P=24√2 cm
P=33.94 cm

the answer is
the perimeter is equal to 24√2 cm or 33.94 cm
