Answer:

Represent the longer piece of the rope as (18 + x) and the shorter piece as x. The rope is 100 feet long, so:

(18 + x) + x = 100      Set up equation

18 + x + x = 100        Arrange like terms

18 + 2x = 100            Combine like terms

2x = 82                     Subtract 18 from both sides

x = 41                       Divide both sides by 2

Longer rope length: 12+ 31 =43 feet

Shorter rope length: 57 feet

Check: 59 + 41 = 100 feet

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

100 divided by 2 = 50

rope a 50 divided by 10 = 5 - 2 = 3 ft

rope b 100 - 3 = 97

change 9 to 5

and change 3 to 43

a = 43

b = 57

Find the area of a triangle whose sides are 5 m, 6 m and 9m,( use root 2 =-1.41 m)​
dlinn [17]

The area of the triangle is 14.1 square meters

<h3>How to determine the triangle area?</h3>

The side lengths are given as:

5m, 6m and 9m

Calculate the semi-perimeter (s) using

s = (5 + 6 + 9)/2

Evaluate

s = 10

The area is then calculated as:

Area = \sqrt{s(s -a)(s-b)(s-c)

This gives

Area = \sqrt{10 * (10 -5)(10-6)(10-9)

Evaluate the products

Area = \sqrt{200

Evaluate the exponent

Area = 14.1

Hence, the area of the triangle is 14.1 square meters

A rectangular room is 3 3 times as long as it is wide, and its perimeter is 64 64 meters. find the dimension of the room.
lora16 [44]
Perimeter = 2L + 2W    (where L = length and W = width)

And we are given that L = 3W

So substituting for L, we have the equation:-

2(3W) + 2W = 64

6W + 2W = 64

8W = 64 

W = 8  meters

So the length = 3*8  = 24 meters

Answer:- Length = 24 m and Width = 8 m.
