Answer: NP = 9 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

In a parallelogram, the opposite sides are equal.

If the length of the longer side is MN, it means that the length of the two opposite longer sides is 2MN.

If the length of the shorter side is NP, it means that the length of the two opposite shorter sides is 2NP.

The perimeter is 2MN + 2NP

If the perimeter of MNPQ is 68 inches, it means that

2MN + 2NP = 68- - - - - - - - - - - -1

In parallelogram MNPQ, side MN is seven inches longer than twice the length of side NP. It means that

MN = 2NP + 7- - - - - - - - - - -2

Substituting equation 2 into equation 1, it becomes

2(2NP + 7) + 2NP = 68

4NP + 14 + 2NP = 68

4NP + 2NP = 68 - 14

6NP = 54

NP = 54/6

NP = 9 inches

Lisa draws a circle by tracing around the bottom of block. which could be the shape of Lisa's block
Andrej [43]
Let's think of something that one can hold against a page and draw a circle. Some examples are: a cup, a D battery, a can of soda, the tube from the inside of a paper towel roll, a can of beans, etc.

Think of the can of beans. The part that touches the page (and that you trace around with your pencil) is called a face.What these items have in common is that the faces at the ends are circles (they may or may not be the same size).

The name for this 3-D figure is called a cylinder. Her block, therefore, is a cylinder.

Technically, if the ends were ovals we would still call it a cylinder and so to make sure you have the one with the circles at the ends you would say you have a "right circular cylinder" but for most cases people just say "cylinder" and assume the ends are circles. It really depends what level (elementary, middle school, hs, college) of math you are doing whether just cylinder suffices.

Can anyone help me I don't know how to solve this?
soldi70 [24.7K]
Set up a proportion. 6/10 = 9/x. cross multiply so x times 6 = 6x. And 10 times 9 = 90. so 6x=90. Then 90 and 6x divided by 6. which gets you x=15. The 9 ft tall elephant will cast a 15 ft shadow.

What’s the area of this figure
kvasek [131]

Answer:

743.25m^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of triangle = 1/2bh

= 1/2 x 30 x 26

= 390

Area of semi circle = 1/2 πr^2

= 1/ 2 x 3.14 x 15 x15

=353.25m^2

= 390 + 353.25

= 743.25m^2
