Answer:

4(x-1)units

Step-by-step explanation:

In a given rectangle, the length of the rectangle is the shorter side while its breadth is the longer side.

Since we have 2 lengths and 2 breadths in a rectangle, the perimeter of the rectangle will be 2L+2x where

L is the length(shorter side) and x is the breadth (longer side).

According to the question, the shorter side(L) is 2 units less than the longer side(x). Mathematically,

L = x-2

Substituting L = x-2 into the formula of perimeter of a rectangle we have,

P = 2(x-2) + 2x

P = 2x-4+2x

P = 4x-4

P = 4(x-1)

The perimeter of the rectangle will be 4(x-1)units

Triangle OWL was rotated to create triangle O'W'L'. Describe the transformation using details and degrees.
Alisiya [41]
I believe this is a rotation through an angle of +90°, anticlockwise, (counterclockwise), with the center of rotation origin(0,0)
To describe rotation we give the center of rotation and the rotation angle in degrees stating whether it is clockwise or counterclockwise.

Find the measure of <2.
n200080 [17]

Answer:

\displaystyle 90° = m∠2

Step-by-step explanation:

In every rhombus, when you have two diagonal segment bisectors, you will always have a circumcentre showing all midpoints of both segment bisectors, plus, it measures 90° all around, so with that being said, you have your answer.

You are building a house and are making a drawing of the kitchen. the sink is 3 feet away from the dishwasher, and the sink is 8
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Consider the triangle with vertices S (sink), D (dishwasher) and F (fridge). From the conditions data SD=3, SF=8 and ∠S=48°.

Use the cosine theorem to find unknown distance:

FD^2=SD^2+SF^2-2SD\cdot SF\cdot \cos S,

FD^2=3^2+8^2-2\cdot 3\cdot 8\cdot \cos 48^{\circ},\\ FD^2=9+64-48\cdot 0.67,\\ FD^2=40.84, \\ FD=\sqrt{40.84}, \\  FD=6.39 feet.

Then the distance between dishwasher and fridge is 6.39 feet.

Are these dimensions reasonable is up to kitchen owner))
