X = 8

18-(2x8) = 18 - 16 = 2

8+9=17

Perimeter = 2x width + 2x length

Length = 2x2 = 4

Width = 2x17 =34 34 + 4 = 38

Let's turn this into an equation. Since we use 2L+2W=P to find the perimeter, we need to use that equation but fill in the information we know.

2(18-2x)+2(x+9)=38; let's distribute the parenthesis. 36-4x+2x+18=38; let's add like terms. 54-2x=38; let's subtract 54 from both sides. -2x=-16; divide both sides by -2. x=8 Let's check to make sure 8 is the correct answer. We need plug it in to both sides.

x+9=8+9=17; that's the length of one side, let's find the other. 18-2(x)=18-2(8)=18-16=2; that's the length of the other side.

17+17+2+2=34+4=38

So, x=8 ft.

A student wants to construct the inscribed circle of a triangle. What is the first step he/she should take?
pantera1 [17]

The <em>correct answer</em> is:


d) Construct the angle bisector of each angle in the triangle


Explanation:


The incenter, or center of an inscribed circle, is the point where the angle bisectors of a triangle intersect. This means the first thing we will need to construct is the bisector of each angle of the triangle.

△DEF is shown below.<br><br>Triangle DEF<br><br>What is m∠DEF?​
S_A_V [24]

Answer:

m∠DEF = 50

Step-by-step explanation:

∠DEG = ∠GEF

3y + 4 = 5y - 10

subtract 4 from both sides

3y = 5y - 14

subtract 5y from both sides

-2y = -14

divide by -2

y = 7

Add 7 into the equations:

3y + 4 + 5y - 10

3(7) + 4 + 5(7) - 10

21 + 4 + 35 - 10

25 + 25

50

The old building at the back of the school is badly in need of repair. the company Hsa and the executive are planning to renovat
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

a. If the area of the tiles is greater than or equal to the area of all the rooms.

b. 24

c. 360

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Explain how you would estimate whether Ted has enough tiles to cover all the kitchen floors in the entire apartment building?

Ted would have enough tiles if the  area of the tiles is greater than or equal to the area of all the rooms. Since we have 500 one meter square tiles, we have 500 m² of tiles.

Since the rooms are 6 m long and 4 m wide, the area of each room is 6 m × 4 m = 24 m². Since there are 15 rooms, the area of all the rooms is 15 × 24 m² = 360 m².

Since the area of the tiles = 500 m² is greater than the area of the rooms = 360 m², Ted would have enough tiles to cover all kitchen floors in the entire apartment building.

b. How many tiles, each measuring 1 square meter, are needed to cover one room floor?

Since the area of each room floor is 24 m² and the area of each tile is 1 m², so the number of  1 square meter tiles needed to cover each floor is n = area of floor/area of tile = 24 m²/1 m² = 24.

c. How many tiles are needed to cover all the floors in the entire building?

Since 24 tiles are needed to cover each floor and there are 15 rooms in the building, we would require 24 tiles/room × 15 rooms/building = 360 tiles.

So we require 360 tiles.
