Answer:

length = 22

width = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of a rectangle is given by the formula

P =2(l+w)

we know the length is x

width is x-9

P =70

Substituting this into the equation

70 = 2(x+x-9)

Combining like terms

70=2(2x-9)

Distributing the 2

70 = 4x-18

Adding 18 to each side

70+18 = 4x-18+18

88 = 4x

Divide by 4

88/4 = 4x/4

22= x

we know the length is x

length = 22

width is x-9

width = 22-9= 13

If 10 man can work 6hours.How many more men are needed towork in 4 hours

Lerok [7]

Answer:

5 more men

Step-by-step explanation:

10 men do a job in 6 hours.

To do the job in 2 hours, 1/3 of the time, you need 3 times as many men.

30 men do a job in 2 hours.

To do the job in twice the time, 4 hours, you need half the men.

15 men do a job in 4 hours.

15 men - 10 men = 5 men

You need 5 more men.
