The length of a rectangle is 2 yd longer than its width. if the perimeter of the rectangle is 24 yd , find its area.

1 answer:

8 0

Width = x
Length = x +2
Perimeter = 24
Area = Width • Length = ?

Perimeter = 24 = 2(x +2) + 2(x)
= 2x + 4 + 2x
= 4x + 4
= 20 = 4x
= 5 = x

Width = x = 5, therefore Length = (5) + 2 = 7

Area = Width • Length = 5 • 7 = 35

Area = 35 yards

Find the percent of increase to the nearest whole from 12 to 20

ankoles [38]

Answer:

The answer is

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the percentage increase we use the formula

<h3> $Percentage \: change = \frac{change}{original \: \: quantity} \times 100\%$ </h3>

From the question

The original value = 12

To find the change we subtract the smaller value from the larger one

That's

Change = 20 - 12 = 8

So the percentage increase is

<h3> $\frac{8}{12} \times 100 \%\\ = \frac{2}{3} \times 100\% \\ = 66.67\%$ </h3>

We have the final answer as

$67\%$ to the nearest whole number

Hope this helps you
