the perimeter of a rectangle is 18 inches what are the possible lengths and widths if the side lengths are whole numbers

1 answer:

8 0

The perimeter is (2 lengths) + (2 widths). Since the perimeter is 18 inches, (1 length) + (1 width) must add up to 9 inches.

If the length and the width must both be whole numbers, the only possible choices for the side lengths of this rectangle are:

1 x 8 in

2 x 7 in

3 x 6 in

4 x 5 in .

C - (x-3)^2=36

If we expand (x-3)^2=36:

(x-3)(x-3)=36
x^2-3x-3x+9=36
x^2-6x+9=36

Then subtract 36

16. Find the values of x and y. (2y + 5) (5x - 17) (3x – 11)º

Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

x = 26

y = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

(5x - 17)° + (3x - 11)° = 180° (angles in a straight line)

Solve for x

5x - 17 + 3x - 11 = 180

Collect like terms

5x + 3x - 17 - 11 = 180

8x - 28 = 180

Add 28 to both sides

8x = 180 + 28

8x = 208

Divide both sides by 8

x = 208/8

x = 26

Also:

(2y + 5)° + 90° + (3x - 11)° = 180° (angles on a straight line)

Plug in the value of x and solve for y

2y + 5 + 90 + 3(26) - 11 = 180

2y + 5 + 90 + 78 - 11 = 180

Collect like terms

2y + 162 = 180

Subtract 162 from both sides

2y = 180 - 162

2y = 18

y = 9 (dividing both sides by 2)
