Answer:

Width = 6.5 inches

Length = 10.5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

"l" be length of rectangle

and

"w" be width of rectangle

Since length of rectangle is 4 inches MORE THAN WIDTH, we can write:

l = 4 + w

The perimeter is sum of all sides, so

Perimeter = l + l + w + w = 2l + 2w

The perimeter is 34, so we can write:

2l + 2w = 34

Putting 1st equation in 2nd, we get equation in "w" and solve for this first:

2l + 2w = 34\\2(4+w) + 2w = 34\\8+2w+2w=34\\4w=26\\w=\frac{26}{4}=6.5

Width is 6.5 in

Now, l = 4 + w, so

l = 4 + 6.5 = 10.5

Length is 10.5 in

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the formula for the area of a triangle,

Area of a triangle = \frac{1}{2}(\text{Base})(\text{Height})

7). Area of the triangle = \frac{1}{2}(20)(7.4)

                                       = 74 km²

8). Area of the triangle = \frac{1}{2}(4)(15.4)

                                     = 30.8 cm²

9). Area of the triangle = \frac{1}{2}(16)(7)

                                      = 56 m²

10). Area of the triangle = \frac{1}{2}(11)(7.7)

                                       = 42.35 km²

10. Polygon WXYZ has vertices W(-1.5, 1.5),
vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Polygon WXYZ has vertices W(-1.5, 1.5), X(6, 1.5), Y(6, -4.5), and Z(-1.5, -4.5).

Find the slopes of all sides:

WX:\ \dfrac{1.5-1.5}{6-(-1.5)}=\dfrac{0}{7.5}=0 - horizontal line

XY:\ \dfrac{-4.5-1.5}{6-6}=\dfrac{-6}{0} - slope undefined, so the line is vertical

YZ:\ \dfrac{-4.5-(-4.5)}{-1.5-6}=\dfrac{0}{-7.5}=0 - horizontal line

ZW:\ \dfrac{1.5-(-4.5)}{-1.5-(-1.5)}=\dfrac{6}{0} - slope undefined, so the line is vertical

Vertical and horizontal lines are perpendicular, so all angles W, X, Y and Z are right angles. Hence, quadrilateral WXYZ is a rectangle

Which problem would you use the following proportion to solve for? = what is 40% of 24? what percent is 24 of 40? twenty-four is
ser-zykov [4K]
First you have to remember that to find a percentage you can multiply a number by the percentage's decimal form, for example 40% of 100 would be .40 * 100.
Anyways, 24*.40 =9.6.
To find the percentage however, you must divide 24/40 which equals 0.6, which is equal to the percentage 60%.
To find the third question, you must multiply 24 by 2.5 (0.4 * 2.5 = 1) and you should get 60.
The last question you may have made a typo on, you repeated the first question.
