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.

Solve for x, the triangles are similar
elixir [45]

Answer:

x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Δ ESR and Δ EGF are similar, then ratios of corresponding sides are equal, so

\frac{ES}{EG} = \frac{ER}{EF} , substitute values

\frac{45}{12x-3} = \frac{55}{143} ( cross- multiply )

55(12x - 3) = 6435 ( divide both sides by 55 )

12x - 3 = 117 ( add 3 to both sides )

12x = 120 ( divide both sides by 12 )

x = 10

Together, teammates Pedro and Ricky got 2679 base hits last season. Pedro had 283 more hits than Ricky. How many hits did each p
Sergio [31]

Answer:

Pedro: 1481 Base hits

Ricky: 1198 Base hits

Step-by-step explanation:

First, take the total amount of base hits last season 2679, then subtract how many more Pedro has 283.

2679 - 283 = 2396 now divide the sum in half  2396 ÷ 2 = 1198 that gives you how many each player has, you're then going to add the amount that you took off to only Pedras total since he had 283 more

Pedro: 1198 + 283 = 1481

Ricky: 1198

The ratios of the measure of the sides of a triangle is 4:10:7. Find the length of each side of the perimeter of the triangle is
dangina [55]

The given ratio of the sides of the triangles is 4:10:7. Let the sides be 4x, 10x and 7x .

And given perimeter is 252 meters .

Perimeter is the sum of all sides. So we get

4x+10x+7x=252 \\ 21x = 252

Dividing both sides by 21

x = 12

So the sides are

4*12=48 meters \\ 10*12=120 meters \\ 7*12= 84 meters
