Answer:

Length is 14 in

Width is 8 in

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

  • Length = l
  • Width = w
  • Perimeter = P = 44 in
<h3>Solution</h3>

<u>Equations as per given:</u>

  • l - w = 6
  • P= 2(l+w) = 44 ⇒ l +w = 22

<u>Adding up the two equations:</u>

  • l - w  + l +w = 6 + 22
  • 2l = 28
  • l = 28/2
  • l = 14 in

<u>Then finding the value of w:</u>

  • w = l -6
  • w = 14 - 6
  • w = 8 in

<u>Answer:</u> The length of the rectangle is 14 inches and width is 8 inches

What is the length of the altitude of the equilateral triangle below?
Mice21 [21]
B. 3 √3

The shortcuts for a 30 60 90 triangle is that the:

Hypotenuse is 2 times the short leg

The long leg is √3 times the short leg.

Making it 3 √3

Another way is by the Pythagorean Theorem.

a^2+b^2=c^2

3^2+b^2=6^2

9+b^2=36

Subtract 9 from both sides

b^2=27

Square root both sides

b=5.2 or the √27

√27 can be simplified more

An equation that equals to 27 that has a perfect square is 9*3


√9* √3

The perfect square of 9 equals to 3

So 3 √3
