By definition we have that the perimeter of a rectangle is given by:
 P = 2b + 2h
 Where,
 b: base
 h: height
 Also, as a data of the problem we have:
 base is two times the height:
 b = 2h
 Substituting we have:
 P = 2 (2h) + 2h
 Clearing h:
 6h = P
 h = P / 6
 h = (80x) / 6
 h = (40/3) x
 The base will be
 b = 2h
 b = (80/3) x
 Answer:
 the dimensions of the rectangle are
 b = (80/3) x
 h = (40/3) x
 b. h = 13.3x; b = 26.6x

Answer:
<span>h = 13.3x; b = 26.6x
</span>
Explanation:
Perimeter of the rectangle = 2(base+height)
80x = 2(base+height)
base + height = 40x ........> I

Now, we are given that the base is 2 times the height, this means that:
base = 2*height ..........> II

Substitute with II in I:
base + height = 40x
2*height + height = 40x
3*height = 40x
height = 13.3x 

Substitute with the height in equation II to get the base as follows:
base = 2*height 
base = 2 * 13.3x = 26.6x

Hope this helps :)

Find the length of both of the unknown sides in the triangle shown here.
icang [17]

Answer:

(x+11)^2 = (x+3)^2 +16^2

And if we solve this equation for x we got:

x^2 +22x +121 = x^2 +6x +9 +256

We can cancel x^2 in both sides and we have this:

22x -6x= 256+9-121 =144

And then we got:

16 x= 144

x =\frac{144}{16}= 9

And then the length of the sides are 9+11= 20 m for the hypothenuse, 16 for the adjacent side and 9+3 = 12m for the last side.

Lenght of the smaller unknown side: 12m

Lenght of the larger unknown side: 20m

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have a right triangle and we can use the Pythagoras Theorem and using the info given by the triangle we can set up the following equation:

(x+11)^2 = (x+3)^2 +16^2

And if we solve this equation for x we got:

x^2 +22x +121 = x^2 +6x +9 +256

We can cancel x^2 in both sides and we have this:

22x -6x= 256+9-121 =144

And then we got:

16 x= 144

x =\frac{144}{16}= 9

And then the length of the sides are 9+11= 20 m for the hypothenuse, 16 for the adjacent side and 9+3 = 12m for the last side side.

Lenght of the smaller unknown side: 12m

Lenght of the larger unknown side: 20m

mixer [17]

Answer:

First on is 0.75

Second is 22/52 (not sure about this one though)

Step-by-step explanation:

For the first one:

P(aUb) = p(a) + p(b) - p(a^b)

0.6 = 0.4 + 0.5 - p(a^b)

p(a^b) = 0.3

P(a/b)= p(a^b)/p(a)

P(a/b)= 0.3/0.4

P(a/b)= 0.75

For the second one:

Total of the cards are 52

Diamonds are 13 out of that 52

Face cards are 12 out of that 52

Diamond OR face cards means p(aUb)

And that equals p(a)+p(b)-p(a^b)

p(a^b) means the intersection between the two, there are three common cards between diamonds and face cards, so p(a^b)=3

13/52 + 12/52 - 3/52= 22/52

How to solve stacked similar figures
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You can identify similar polygons by comparing their corresponding angles and sides. As you see in the following figure, quadrilateral WXYZ is the same shape as quadrilateral ABCD, but it’s ten times larger (though not drawn to scale, of course). These quadrilaterals are therefore similar.

similar polygons: For two polygons to be similar, both of the following must be true:

Corresponding angles are congruent.

Corresponding sides are proportional.

To fully understand this definition, you have to know what corresponding angles and corresponding sides mean. (Maybe you’ve already figured this out by just looking at the figure.) Here’s the lowdown on corresponding. In the figure, if you expand ABCD to the same size as WXYZ and slide it to the right, it’d stack perfectly on top of WXYZ.
