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

OleMash [197]

Answer:

perimeter of triangle IJH= 17.5

Step-by-step explanation:

line IJ is a midsegment, so you can divide the segments FH and GH by 2.

that means segment IH= 4.5 and segment GH=6. segment IJ is given as 7.

add 4.5 + 6 + 7, which equals 17.5

Can you please help me I don't understand

For #11 you add 54 + 59+ 57+ 54. Then you have 224. Then divide 224 by 4 since there are 4 numbers. Your answer should be 56 inches as the average, or mean.
Remember, when you divide, you divide by the number of all the numbers. I'm trying to make sense but hope this helps!

Hi there!
The question sounds really complex, but the mathematical operations behind it is figuratively simple. Here, we are told to find 19 (18.7 rounded up is 19) percent of 1,000. To do this, we can set up a proportion to model the whole scenario.
\frac{x}{1000} = \frac{19}{100}
Now, just solve for x by cross multiplying and simplifying.
\frac{x}{1000} = \frac{19}{100}

100x = 19000
x=190
Therefore, 190 people out of 1,000 people leave out pertinent information on their IRS forms. Hope this helped and have a terrific day!
