2. Let the length of the rectangle be x cm and the width = (x - 4) cm. Area = x(x - 4) = (x^2 - 4x) cm^2
If the length and the width are both decreased by 2cm, new length = (x - 2) cm and new width = (x - 4 - 2) = (x - 6) cm. New area = (x - 2)(x - 6) = (x^2 - 8x + 12) cm^2
Original area - 24cm^2 = new area
x^2 - 4x - 24 = x^2 - 8x + 12
-4x + 8x = 12 + 24
4x = 36
x = 36/4 = 9cm
Therefore the original length of the rectangle = 9cm while the original width is 9 - 4 = 5 cm.

If three angles of a hexagon are each x° and each of the other is 1/2 times x° find the angles​
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The given hexagon has interior angles

x,x,x, x/2, x/2, x/2 for a total of S1=4.5x.

We also know that the sum of interior angles of any polygon of n sides is

S2=180(n-2)

For a hexagon, S2 = 180(6-2) = 720°.

Equating S1 and S2

4.5x = 720

x = 720/4.5 = 160.

Therefore substitute x in the given angles to get

{160°,160°.160°,80°,80°,80°}
