Answer:
c
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
c = 8.4m is the answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
a = 6m
b = 6m
c = ?
According to the Pythagorean theorem,
a² + b² = c²
6² + 6² = c²
36 + 36 = c²
c² = 72
c = 8.4m
∴ The mouse runs 8.4 m from the opposite corners of the room.
The formula for a rectangle's perimeter is
P = 2l + 2w
We know the length is 2 ft greater than thrice the width, so 2l becomes:
3w + 2ft + 3w + 2ft
Substitute.
P = 3w + 2ft + 3w + 2ft + 2w
Add like terms.
P = 8w + 4ft
Substitute P.
84 ft = 8w + 4ft
Subtract 4 ft from both sides to eliminate. (Property of equality)
84 ft - 4ft = 8w + 4ft - 4ft
80 ft = 8w
Divide 8 on both sides to isolate w.
80 ft / 8 = 8w / 8
10 ft = w
We have the value of w, now look for the l which we know is 2 feet more than thrice the value of w.
l = 10 ft × 3 + 2 ft
l = 30 ft + 2 ft
l = 32 ft
Therefore, the length and the width of the rectangle is 10 ft (w) and 32 ft (l).
Check:
84 ft = (2) (10 ft) + (2) (32 ft)
84 ft = 20 ft + 64 ft
84 ft = 84 ft ✔
