Answer:

w = 20 1/3 ft.

l = 43 2/3 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

w=width l = length

l = 3 + 2w

128 = 2l + 2w

128 = 2(3 + 2w) + 2w

128 = 6 + 4w +2w

122 = 6w

20 1/3 = w

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>The first part of finding the length and width of this rectangle is defining each of the lengths as <em>variables</em>. We usually do this by writing, "let" for each statement. Let's try!</h3><h2>Let x = the width</h2><h2>      2x + 3 = the length</h2>

Now, let's define the perimeter in terms of x. So, we understand that the perimeter consists of the width times 2 and the length times 2. It's simply how rectangles work, right? Let's do this, then! Let's find the perimeter in terms of x!

<h3>  2(x) + 2(2x + 3)=</h3><h3>=2x + 4x + 6</h3><h3>=6x + 6</h3>

Considering the width of the rectangle is x and the length is 2x + 3, the perimeter of the rectangle is 6x + 6. But hey, we already know what the actual perimeter of the rectangle is! Let's make a system of equations! (We're getting a little advanced here but it's alright, ask me questions if you need to!)

<h2>Let P = total perimeter of the rectangle</h2><h2>P = 6x + 6</h2><h2>P = 128 feet</h2><h3>We can solve this system of equations by using the equal values method. If you need more help, you can search the equal values method on the internet. If you need more explanation, please ask!</h3><h2>Now we know that both 6x + 6 and 128 are both equal to P. This means that 6x + 6 and 128 are equal, too! We can now make an equation to find x, the width!</h2><h2>6x + 6 = 128</h2><h2>      - 6      - 6</h2><h2>6x = 122</h2><h2>x = 122/6 = 20 ¹/₃ feet</h2><h3>Since we have already defined x as 20 1/3 feet. Now we can find the length, 2x + 3. We can plug x into the equation.</h3><h2>2 ( 20 ¹/₃ ) + 3 = length</h2><h2>40 ²/₃ + 3 = length</h2><h2>length = 43 ²/₃.</h2><h2><em>Now we can check our work!</em></h2><h2>6x + 6 = 128</h2><h2>6(20 ¹/₃) + 6 = 128</h2><h2>6(20 ¹/₃) = 122</h2><h3>If we multiply 6 and 20 ¹/₃, we find the product as 122. This means that x is true in the situation and that it is correct.</h3><h2>If you need help, please tell me in the comments! I'm happy to help! <3</h2><h2><em></em></h2>

What is 12 divided by 3/4
Tpy6a [65]
12 divided by 3/4 =
16

<span>It is 16 because the reciprocal of 3/4 is 4/3 and 12 as a fraction is 12/1. So 12/1 x 4/3 is 48/3. And if you divide 48 by 3 you will get 16. If you don't get 16 then you did the wrong calculation.</span>

Hope I Helped You!!! :-)

A 3ft child casts a 2ft shadow at the same time a tree casts a shadow that is 6ft long how tall is the tree?
Anettt [7]

Answer:

h_t=9ft

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Height of child h_c=3ft

Height of child's shadow  h_c_s=2ft

Height of tree's shadow h_t_s=6ft

Since position of Sun remains constant  

Generally the equation for Height of tree h_t mathematically given by

 h_t=f_{ts}\frac{h_c}{h_c_s}

 h_t=6*\frac{3}{2}

 h_t=9ft
