P = 2(l + w)            formula for perimeter

12 = 2(5w + w)       sub in what we know to create an equation

12 = 2(6w)              solve for w
12 = 12w
12/12 = w
1 = w

The width is 1 inch.

What is the area of a triangle whose side is 17 meters long​
Lunna [17]

Answer:

125.141

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that this is an equilateral triangle, I am going to divide this triangle in half to get a right triangle.

17 is our hypotenuse

17/2 = 8.5, this is one of our legs

The other leg is our height, which we will find.

We use Pythagoras Theorem to find the height/leg: a^{2} +b^{2} =c^{2}

17^{2} -8.5^{2} = 216.75

\sqrt{216.75} = 14.72243186

Now, we use another formula to find the area of the triangle: \frac{Base*Height}{2}

14.72243186 × 17 = 250.2813416

250.2813416 ÷ 2 = <u>125.1406708</u>

the larger of two positive numbers is 5 more then the smaller. The product of the numbers is 66. find the numbers
Serjik [45]

Answer: 30.5 and 35.5

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use a system of linear equations to find out the answer to this problem. The larger number will be x and the smaller number will be y.

x=y+5

x+y=66

Substitute y+5 in for the bottom equation to get y+5+y=66. Simplify to get 2y+5=66. Subtract 5 from both sides and get 2y=61. Divide by 2 to get y=30.5. This is the smaller number. Add 5 to get the bigger number, which is 35.5

"Linear function" means the highest degree of any term is 1.

Equation 1: degree is 2
Equation 2: degree is 2
Equation 3: degree is 1 . . . . this is your linear function
