Answer:

Length of the rectangle = 16 inches

Width of the rectangle = 12 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the rectangle be represented by x.

Then width can be expressed as \[\frac{x}{2}+4\]


Perimeter of a rectangle is the sum of four sides of the rectangle.

This can be expressed as 2*(length + breadth)

= \[2* (x + \frac{x}{2}+4)\]

= \[2* (\frac{3x}{2}+4)\]

= \[3x + 8\]

But perimeter is given as 56.

So, \[3x + 8 = 56\]


=> \[3x = 48\]

=> \[x = 16\]

Hence length of the rectangle = 16 inches

Width of the rectangle = \[\frac{16}{2}+4\] = 12 inches

Answer:

length = 16 inches and width = 12 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let l be the length and w be the width of the rectangle.

It is given that width is 4 inches greater than half of the length:

w=\frac{l}{2}+4 ------1

Perimeter of the rectangle is given by 2\times(l+w)

2\times(l+w)=56

l+w=28  ----------------2

Substituting w from equation 1 in equation 2, we get:

l+(4+\frac{l}{2})=28

\frac{3l}{2}=24

∴ l = 16 inches

Putting l=16 in equation 1, we get w=12.

Hence w= 12 inches.

What's 10x10^100 power ?
MArishka [77]
The answer is 100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000. This is basically 101 zeros. The reason for that is because since 10^100 already has 100 zeros, multiplying it by one more will give it one more zero making it 101 zeros.
However, if you want it in an exponent form the answer is 10^101 I believe.
