The length of a rectangular piece of land is 9 cm more than 3 times its width. The perimeter is 418 cm. Find its dimensions.

1 answer:

3 0

Let w represent the width of the rectangle in cm. Then its length in cm is (3w+9). The perimeter is the sum of two lengths and two widths, so is ...

... 418 = 2(w + (3w+9))

... 209 = 4w +9 . . . . . . divide by 2, collect terms

... 200 = 4w . . . . . . . . subtract 9

... 50 = w . . . . . . . . . . divide by 4

... length = 3w+9 = 3·50 +9 = 159

The dimensions of this piece of land are 159 cm by 50 cm.

Find the area of a triangle with a base length of 3 units and a height of 4 units. 3 square units 6 square units 7 square units

yan [13]

For this case we have that by definition, the area of a triangle is given by:

$A = \frac {b * h} {2}$

Where:

b: It is the base of the triangle

h: It is the height of the triangle

According to the data of the statement we have:

$b = 3 \ units\\h = 4 \ units$

Substituting in the formula we have:

$A = \frac {3 * 4} {2} = \frac {12} {2} = 6 \ units ^ 2$

So, the area of the triangle is $6 \ units ^ 2$

Answer:

$6 \ units ^ 2$
