The length of a rectangle is 6m longer than its width. If the perimeter of the rectangle is 52m, find its area

1 answer:

4 0

If length is x, then width is 6+x
Perimeter = 2*(x + 6+x) = 52 
2*6 + 2*2x = 52 
4x = 52 - 12 = 40 
x = 40/4 = 10 

Area = length*width = 10*(6+10) 
Area = 10*16 = 160 meter square

Find the area of each regular polygon. Round your answer to the nearest tenth if necessary.

tatuchka [14]

*I am assuming that the hexagons in all questions are regular and the triangle in (24) is equilateral*

(21)

Area of a Regular Hexagon: $\frac{3\sqrt{3}}{2}(side)^{2} = \frac{3\sqrt{3}}{2}*(\frac{20\sqrt{3} }{3} )^{2} =200\sqrt{3}$ square units

(22)

Similar to (21)

Area = $216\sqrt{3}$ square units

(23)

For this case, we will have to consider the relation between the side and inradius of the hexagon. Since, a hexagon is basically a combination of six equilateral triangles, the inradius of the hexagon is basically the altitude of one of the six equilateral triangles. The relation between altitude of an equilateral triangle and its side is given by:

$altitude=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}*side$

$side = \frac{36}{\sqrt{3}}$

Hence, area of the hexagon will be: $648\sqrt{3}$ square units

(24)

Given is the inradius of an equilateral triangle.

$Inradius = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{6}*side$

Substituting the value of inradius and calculating the length of the side of the equilateral triangle:

Side = 16 units

Area of equilateral triangle = $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}*(side)^{2} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}*256 = 64\sqrt{3}$ square units

Uche pumps gasoline at a rate of 18 L/min What is Uche's pumping rate in mL/s ?

vodomira [7]

There are 1000 mL in a Liter and 60 seconds in a minute

18 L / min = 18,000 mL /min

so in mL/s the answer is 18000 / 60 = 300 mL/s Answer

A regular octagon has eight sides of equal length.A stop sign is in the shape of a regular octagon.Find the perimeter of a stop

Sladkaya [172]

Recall that the perimeter of a polygon is the sum of the lengths of each side of the polygon.

Since a regular octagon has 8 sides of equal length, and the stop sign is a regular octagon with a side length of 12 in, then its perimeter is:

$\text{Perimeter}=8\times12in\text{.}$

Simplifying the above result we get:

$\text{Perimeter}=96in\text{.}$

Answer:

$96in\text{.}$

I don't understand how to do

BartSMP [9]

Angle A= angle B
angle C= angle a(2)
a+a+2a=180 (since all triangles equal 180 degrees)
180=4a
180/4
a=45
angle A and angle B both equal 45 degrees. Angle C equals 90 degrees.
