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.

Help pls!! this is a presentation I’m doing in class and I NEED this completed rn, ASAP!!! . What I need is just the answers for
nataly862011 [7]

15. 70° because a right angle is 90° and we have the angle of ADB which is 20°. So 90°-20°=70°.

16. 70° because angle PSQ is 60° and angle QSR is 10°. So 60°+10°=70°.

17. 55° because it says it in the explanation. I assume this is a typo and they meant to ask the measurement of ADC and in that case it would be 130° because angle ADB is 75° and angle BDC is 55°. 75°+55°=130°.

18. 40° because angle PSQ is a right angle which means it's 90°. So 130°-90°=40°.

19. 140° because angle ADB is 120° and angle BDC is 20° so 120°+20°=140°.

20. 125° because again it's in the explanation. But if it's a typo and they meant what is the measurement of PSQ then it is 50° because PSR is 125° and QSR is 75° so 125°-75°=50°.

Hope this helps! :)
