Answer:

length = 10 cm; width = 25 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the length 2x and the width 5x. Since perimeter can be calculated by multiplying the sum of the length and width by 2 we can write:

2 * (2x + 5x) = 70

2 * (7x) = 70

7x = 35

x = 5 which means the length is 2 * 5 = 10 and the width is 5 * 5 = 25.

I need help with #11 - #14.

Answer:

I can get you jump started a bit.

Step-by-step explanation:

So Each of those pairs of figures are Similar.

This means they have equal angle measures but different side lengths.

To find it, we have to make a Proportion:

Example: #11

$\frac{x+1}{3x+1} =\frac{8}{20}$

So let's solve the first one!

$24x+8=20x+20\\4x=12\\x=3$

Easy As Pie!

If you need more help, contact me! :)

Hope this Helps!

P.S. Stay Safe!

Answer:

$x = 34.8^\circ$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for triangle

Required

Find x

To do this, we simply apply sin formula which is:

$sin(\theta) = \frac{Opposite}{Hypotenuse}$

In this case, it is:

$sin(x) = \frac{8}{14}$

$sin(x) =0.5714$

Take arcsin of both sides

$x = sin^{-1}(0.5714)$

$x = 34.84791$

$x = 34.8^\circ$ --- approximated

Answer:

(5, -2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Use substitution

Y=5x-27 Put this equation into the place of y in the second one.

2x+3y=4

2x + 3(5x - 27) = 4 then solve for x

2x + 15x - 81 = 4

17x - 81 = 4

17x = 85

x = 5

Then put the value of x back into one of the equations and solve for y

y = 5(5) - 27

y = 25 - 27

y = -2
