6 feet because 8 / 12 reduces to 2 / 3 and you multiply 2 times 3
Answer:
96 sq. m
Step-by-step explanation:
If the width is x, the length is x + 4 and since perimeter = 2 * (length + width), we can write:
40 = 2(x + x + 4)
40 = 2(2x + 4)
20 = 2x + 4
16 = 2x
x = 8 so x + 4 = 12, therefore the area is 8 * 12 = 96 square meters.
Answer:
a = √93
a ≈ 9.64
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use the Pythagorean theorem for this: a² + b² = c²
c is given as the hypotenuse, which is the pole with a length of 17 ft
c² is 17²
b is a leg with a height of 14 ft
b² = 14²
We need to find the base leg, a, distance from the wall to the base of the pole.
Solve:
a² + 14² = 17²
a² + 196 = 289
a² = 93
a = √93

<span>1. </span><span>Gaetano spent 37.80 dollars
including the tax for a pair of jeans
=> the tax is 8%, how much is the original cost of a pair of jeans?
=> 8% = 8/100
=> .08
Now, multiply .08 by 37.80 to get the 8% of 37.80
=> 37.80 x .08
=> 3.024 – this is the tax of a pair of jeans.
now, let’s subtract 3.024 by 37.80 to get the actual price of a pair of jeans.
=> 37.80 – 3.024
=> 34.776 – the original price of a pair of jeans without tax.

Answer:
15 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the actual distance in miles between Lynwood and Forest Hill, we can use a rule of three:
If 0.25 inch on the map is equivalent to 1 mile, then 3.75 inch on the map is equivalent to what distance:
0.25 inch -> 1 mile
3.75 inch -> X miles
0.25/3.75 = 1/X
X = 3.75/0.25 = 15 miles
The actual distance between Lynwood and Forest Hill is 15 miles.
