Answer:

Side of the square paper = 21 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the square paper is having measure of each side = a inches

Esther cut this square piece into two pieces.

Let the other side of one rectangle piece = x inches

Perimeter of this piece = 2(a + x) inches

Similarly dimensions of the other rectangular piece will be = a inches × (a - x) inches

Perimeter of this piece = 2[a + (a - x)]

Since both the rectangular pieces have the same perimeter = 63

So, 2(a + x) = 2[a + (a - x)] = 63

2(a + x) = 2(2x - x)

a + x = 2a - x

2a - a = 2x

a = 2x

x = \frac{a}{2}

Therefore, Perimeter = 2(a + x) = 2(a + \frac{a}{2}) = 63

2\times \frac{3a}{2} = 63

3a = 63

a = 21

Therefore, measure of the sides of the square is 21 inches.

The weight of mr nazeer is 7 times that of his son. What's the ratio of their weights?
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

<h3>7:1</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the weight of mr nazeer be x

Let the weight of his son be y

If the weight of mr nazeer is 7 times that of his son, then x = 7y

To get the ratio of their weight:

Ratio = weight of father/weight of son

Ratio = 7y/y

Ratio = 7/1

Ratio = 7:1

Hence the ratio of their weights is 7:1
