Answer:

The area of the rectangle = 50 cm^2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the shortest side of the rectangle be x cm.

Perimeter of the rectangle is:

2x + 2(x + 5).

Perimeter of the triangle = 3 * 2x.

As they have the same perimeter:

2x + 2(x + 5) = 3*2x

2x + 2x + 10 = 6x

6x - 2x - 2x = 10

2x = 10

x = 5 cm.

So the area of the rectangle = x(x + 5)

= 5 * 10

= 50 cm^2.

Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

Jessica spent 10 months in Spain and 8 months in Colombia.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of months Jessica lived in Spain, then she lived 18 - x months in Colombia.

She learned an average of 160 words per month when she lived in Spain, so she learned 160x words in Spain.

She learned an average of 200 words per month when she lived in Colombia, so she learned 200(18-x) words in Colombia.

In total, she learned a total of 3,200 new words, thus

$160x+200(18-x)=3,200\\ \\160x+3,600-200x=3,200\\ \\160x-200x=3,200-3,600\\ \\-40x=-400\\ \\x=10$

Jessica spent 10 months in Spain and 8 months in Colombia.

Manny has four pieces of carpet in the shape of a square like the one shown. He wants to use them together to carpet a portion o

KengaRu [80]

Answer:

the area of the space he can cover with carpet = 16x⁴ yards²

Step-by-step explanation:

The shape of the square is not shown in this question.

Let assume that the base of the shape of the square is 2x² yards.

and Manny has four of that.

Then side we known the base, we can calculate for the area of the square.

Area of a square = l²

Area of a square = (2x² yards)²

Area of a square = 4x⁴ yards²

However, since Manny has four pieces of that carpet and wants to use them together to carpet a portion of his basement.

Let the pieces of the carpet be carpet A, B, C and D

where; their side is 2x² yards, then their area = 4x⁴ yards²

the area of the space he can cover with carpet = A+B+C+D

the area of the space he can cover with carpet = 4x⁴ yards² + 4x⁴ yards² + 4x⁴ yards² + 4x⁴ yards²

the area of the space he can cover with carpet = 16x⁴ yards²

Answer:

(x + 3)(3x - 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

3x² + 5x - 12

Consider the factors of the product of the coefficient of the x² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term.

product = 3 × - 12 = - 36 and sum = + 5

The factors are + 9 and - 4

Use these factors to split the x- term

3x² + 9x - 4x - 12 ( factor first/second and third/fourth terms )

= 3x(x + 3) - 4(x + 3) ← factor out (x + 3) from each term

= (x + 3)(3x - 4)

Thus

3x² + 5x - 12 = (x + 3)(3x - 4) ← in factored form
