Draw two possible rectangles for 20 units perimeter find the area

1 answer:

6 0

Perimeter = 2 (length + width)
To get a perimeter of a rectangle of 20 units, you need the length + width as 10 units. The combination possibilities would be 1and 9, 2 and 8, 3 and 7, 4 and 6. Use any one set and find the area
Area = length * width
area= 1*9 = 9 units^2
area = 2*8 = 16 units^2
area = 3*7 = 21 units^2
area = 4*6 = 24 units^2

A side of a square is 10 m longer than the side of an equilateral triangle the perimeter of the square is three times the perime

Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

$\large \boxed{\text{8 m}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let side of triangle = x

And side of rectangle = y

Perimeter of triangle = 3x

Perimeter of rectangle = 4y

We have two conditions:

$\begin{array}{lrcl}(1) & y & = & x + 10\\(2) &4y & = & 3\times 3x\\& 4y & = & 9x\\& 4(x + 10) & = & 9x\\& 4x + 40 & = & 9x\\& 40 & = & 5x\\& x& = &\mathbf{8}\\\end{array}\\\text{Each side of the triangle is $\large \boxed{\textbf{8 m}}$ long.}$

Your friend calculates the distance between points Q(1,5) and R(3,8), as shown below. What is his error?

borishaifa [10]

The distance between two points is the number of units between them.

The distance between Q and R is 3.61 units

<em>It is impossible to determine your friend's error, because the steps are not given in the question. So, I will calculate the distance between Q and R, instead.</em>

<em />

The distance (d) between two points is:

$d = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}$
