P=2l+2w

Since it is given that P=26m, length is 5 more than its width (w+5), we'll work it out in the perimeter formula.

26=2(w+5)+2w
26=2w+10+2w
26=4w+10
4w=26-10
4w=16
w=4

Thus the width is 4m. Let's find the length.

l=w+5
l=4+5
l=9

The length of a pen is 9m.

L = length

W = width

P = perimeter


P = 26m

L = W + 5     [the length is 5 more than the width]


The perimeter is the total of adding all of the side lengths together.

P = L + L + W + W  or  P = 2L + 2W


Because L = W + 5, you can substitute/plug in (W + 5) for "L" in the equation

P = 2L + 2W

P = 2(W + 5) + 2W     Multiply 2 into (W + 5)

P = 2W + 10 + 2W      Combine like terms

P = 4W + 10      


Since you know the perimeter is 26, plug 26 in for "P"

26 = 4W + 10           Subtract 10 on both sides

16 = 4W              Divide 4 on both sides

4 = W


Now that you know the width, you can find the length

L = W + 5

L = 4 + 5

L = 9


<u>The width is 4 m, the length is 9 m.</u>

The length of a rectangular pool is 20 feet and the width is 15 feet. The
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

$255

Step-by-step explanation:

As, the area of the pool bottom = length x breath

= 20 x 15 = 300 square foot

So for painting

Per square foot = $0.85

So for 300 square foot = $0.85 x 300

= $255

Find the volume of the composite solid.<br><br> NO LINKS PLEASE!
lidiya [134]

Answer:

156 ft^3

Step-by-step explanation:

1) find the volume of the parallelepiped:

V = side^2 x height = 6^2 x 3 = 108 ft^3

2) find the base area of the pyramid:

base area = side^2 = 6^2 = 36 ft^2

3) find the volume of the pyramid:

V = (base area x height)/3 = (36 x 4)/3 = 48 ft^3

4) find the total volume

V = 108 + 48 = 156 ft^3
