Width = 5cm, Length = 7cm.

Create the following two formulas specified by the problem.
First, define length in terms of width.
L = 2*W - 3

Then define perimeter in terms of width and length.
2*W + 2*L = 24

Since we have L defined in terms of W, substitute into the perimeter formula.
2*W + 2*(2*W - 3) = 24

Expand formula
2*W + 4*W - 6 = 24

Combine W and add 6 to both sides
6*W = 30

Divide both sides by 6 to get W
W = 5

Now get L
L = 2*W - 3
L = 2*5 - 3
L = 7

Jefferson Park sits on one square city block that measures 300ft on each side. Sidewalks join opposite corners. About how long i
Alexxandr [17]
You have a 300 feet side length square and you need to calculate the length of the diagonal. When you split the square along one diagonal you get triangles, so you can apply Pythagoras' Theorem, with the hypotenuse as the needed diagonal.
a²+b²=c²
300²+300²=c²
2*300²=c²
√(2*300²)=c
√(2) * √(300²)=c
√(2) * 300=c
c~424.26 ft which is the solution/option c

The ratio of dogs to cats at an animal shelter is 33 to 22. How many dogs are at the shelter if there is a total of 3030 animals
Elena-2011 [213]
D : c = 33 : 22
where d is the number of dogs and c is the number of cats;
and: d + c = 3030
33 c = 22 d  / : 11
3 c = 2 d
From the other equation: c = 3030 - d
3 * ( 3030 - d ) = 2 d
9090 - 3 d = 2 d
5 d = 9090
d = 9090 : 5
d = 1818
Answer: There are 1818 dogs in the shelter.
