Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

It's a 3-4-5 triangle -- so it would be 5

Or, you can apply Pythagorean theorem:

Let r = ramp

then

r^2 = 3^2 + 4^2

r^2 = 9 + 16

r^2 = 25

r = 5 feet

The formula for finding the perimeter of a rectangle is P = 2L + 2W. If a rectangle has a perimeter of 68 inches and the length

Artemon [7]

Answer:

Width = 10 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the perimeter of a rectangle of 68 inches, and a length that is 14 inches longer than its width.

We can establish the following values to help us solve for the width of a rectangle:

Perimeter (P) = 68 inches

Length (L) = 14 + W inches

Width (W) = unknown

<h3 /><h3><u>Solve for the Width (W)</u></h3>

P = 2(L + W) ⇒ This is the same as P = 2L + 2W, except that 2 is factored out from the right-hand side.

Divide both sides by 2:

$\displaystyle\mathsf{\frac{P}{2}\:=\:\frac{2(L\:+\:W)}{2}}$

$\displaystyle\mathsf{\frac{P}{2}\:=L\:+\:W}$

Substitute the value of the Perimeter and the length (L) into the formula:

$\displaystyle\mathsf{\frac{68}{2}\:=14\:+W\:+\:W}$

Combine like terms on the right-hand side, and simplify the left-hand side of the equation:

$\displaystyle\mathsf{34\:=14\:+2W}$

Subtract 14 from both sides:

34 - 14 = 14 - 14 + 2W

20 = 2W

Divide both sides by 2 to solve for the width (W):

$\displaystyle\mathsf{\frac{20}{2}\:=\:\frac{2W}{2}}$

W = 10 inches

Therefore, the width of the rectangle is 10 inches.

<h3 /><h3><u>Double-check:</u></h3>

Verify whether the derived value for the width is correct:

P = 2L + 2W

68 = 2(14 + 10) + 2(10)

68 = 2(34) + 20

68 = 48 + 20

68 = 68 (True statement).

Thus, the length of the rectangle is 34 inches, and the width is 10 inches.
