40% of 60 is 24

To convert from percent to decimal, divide the percent without the percent symbol by 100.

so, 40% = 40/100 = 0.4

40% 60 is just 0.4*60 = 24

Since you know 60 is the total value then it would be 60/100% then you times is by x/40% given that x is the value you’re trying to find. so by cross multiplying 60*40 then dividing by 100 is your answer

A custom rectangular tabletop has a length that is twice it’s width, and the tabletop measures 76 inches on its diagonal. What a

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

<em>The dimensions of the tabletop: Length= 67.976... inches and Width= 33.988... inches and the perimeter will be 203.929... inches.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose, the width of the rectangular tabletop is $x$ inch.

As the tabletop has a length that is twice it’s width, so the length will be: $2x$ inch.

The tabletop measures 76 inches on its diagonal.

<u>Formula for length of diagonal of rectangle</u>: $d=\sqrt{l^2+w^2}$

So, the equation will be..........

$76=\sqrt{(2x)^2+ x^2}\\ \\ 76=\sqrt{4x^2+x^2} \\ \\ 76=\sqrt{5x^2} \\ \\ 5x^2= 76^2= 5776\\ \\ x^2= \frac{5776}{5}=1155.2 \\ \\ x= \sqrt{1155.2} =33.988...$
