The perimeter of a rectangle is <u>length + length + width + width</u>.

We know that the length of a rectangle is 3cm more than its width, which gives us the equation:  (l for length and w for width)

l = 3 + w

We also know that the perimeter of the rectangle is 98cm, which gives us the equation:

98 = 2l + 2w         (equation for perimeter of a rectangle as noted above)

We can divide both sides of this equation by 2 to get:

49 = l + w

Now we'll stick l = 3 + w into the above equation, which gives us:

49 = 3 + w + w

which simplifies to 49 = 3 + 2w.

Now we'll subtract 3 from both sides:

49 - 3 = 46

3 + 2w - 3 = 2w

which gives us 46 = 2w.

Dividing both sides by 2 gives us 23 = w.

Substituting w = 23 into the equation l = 3 + w gives us:

l = 3 + 23

l = 26cm.

Let's check our answer.  26cm is 3cm more than 23cm.  26cm + 26cm + 23cm + 23cm gives us 98cm.  The length is 26cm and the width is 23cm.

dlinn [17]

Solution:

Outfit         Shirt       Slacks        Tie

Outfit 1      Blue        Black         Red

Outfit 2     Blue        Grey          Red

Outfit 3    White       Black         Red

Outfit 4    White       Grey          Red

Outfit 5    Black       Black         Red

Outfit 6    Black       Grey         Red

We take the outfits 1, 2 , 5  and 6 as a subset of the sample space.

So these 1, 2, 5 and 6 consists either a blue shirt or a black shirt.

The subset consists of all the outfits that do not have a white shirt.

So the correct options are :

1. (Choice A)

The subset consists of all the outfits that do not have a white shirt.

2. (Choice C)

The subset consists of all the outfits that have a black shirt.

Carl is making the kite shown (shorter sides measure 24 inches) with a perimeter of 120 inches
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

To solve for x the equation would be. (120 - 48) ÷ 2 = X

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because to follow pemdas you do the parenthesis first so you subtract both of the shorter sides. Next since there are two longer sides you divide by two to get the answer. Each longer side is equal to 36 inches.

Hope this helps
