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.

Describe the error(s) that occurred and show the correct solution.
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

-x^{2}+4x

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

(x^{2}+x)-(2x^{2} -3x)

step 1

Eliminate the parenthesis

x^{2}+x-2x^{2} +3x

The symbol of the term 3x is incorrect, must be positive instead of negative

so

-(-3x)=+3x

Group terms that contain the same variable

(x^{2}-2x^{2})+(x+3x)

Combine like terms

-x^{2}+4x

Answer:

1. The right triangles pass the AA similarity congruence theorem.

2. s/q

Step-by-step explanation:

They are similar since they pass the AA( Angle-Angle) similarity theorem.

Similar triangles have corresponding proportional sides so side z corresponds with side s and side x corresponds with q so we would represent that as

s/q
