Answer:
12
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that AD=BC and that AB=CD. We also know the perimeter of the rectangle ABCD to be 54 units.
From this, we can add up the sides which will be equal to 54 units.
AD+BC+AB+CD=54
2x+2x+3x-3+3x-3=54
10x=60
x=6
Since we are trying to find the length of side BC we substitute this value back into 2x.
BC=2x =2*6=12
Therefore, the length of BC is 12 units.
Answer:
40
Step-by-step explanation:
Based on the Proportional Transversal Theorem, the three parallel lines hat intersects the two transversals, divides the transversal lines proportionally.
Therefore, we would have the following ratio:
28/35 = ?/50
Cross multiply
35*? = 50*28
35*? = 1,400
Divide both sides by 35
? = 1400/35
? = 40
Both 15 and 20 can be divided evenly by 5, so 5 is the greatest common monomial: 5(3x^2 + 4x) or 5x(3x + 4)
The television set has a rectangular shape. The diagonal of this rectangle along with its width and length together form a right angular triangle.
This means that we can apply the Pythagorean theorem which states that:
(diagonal)^2 = (length)^2 + (width)^2
Let the width be w. We know that the length is 0.75 times the width, this means that: length = 0.75 w
Substitute in the above equation:
(20)^2 = (0.75w)^2 + (w)^2
400 = 0.5625 w^2 + w^2
400 = 1.5625 w^2
w^2 = 256
w = 16
This means that the width of the screen is 16 in.
