Answer:

20 feet wide, 24 feet long

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x - width, y - length.

The perimeter is given by the formula:

P = 2*(width + length) or using x, y

P = 2*(x + y) = 88

x + y = 44

And we know that the ratio between the sides is 5/6:

x/y = 5/6. x is on top because the length is bigger than the width

x = 5y/6

Plug this in the first expression:

y + 5y/6 = 44. Muliply by 6

6y + 5y = 264

11y = 264

y = 264/11 = 24.

So x = 5(24)/6 = 20

Ill give brainiest for this question :D<br> (its not multiple choice)

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\frac{6c-2}{2}$ + 2c + 11

= $\frac{6c}{2}$ - $\frac{2}{2}$ + 2c + 11

= 3c - 1 + 2c + 11

= 5c + 10

(b)

We have the expression

5c + 10 ← factor out 5 from each term

= 5(c + 2)

Which of the following expressions could be used to estimate the difference between -12.34 and -4.8?

Sveta_85 [38]

-12+5

for -12.34,we take it as -12
for -4.8,we take it as -5

to measure the difference,here's what you need to do

-12-(-5)
=-12+5
thus the ans is -12+5

hope it helps

The sides of triangle can be represented by x+3, 2x+4 and 3x-1. what would be the perimeter of it were scaled down by half

svlad2 [7]

The perimeter will also be scaled down by half if the original triangle if it were scaled down by half.

<h3>What is the perimeter of a triangle?</h3>

The total length of a triangle's boundary is referred to as its perimeter. It is the total of the triangle's three sides. A triangle's perimeter will be equal to a+b+c if its three sides are a, b, and c.

The sides of the original triangle are:

x+3, 2x+4, 3x-1

The perimeter of the triangle will be

$x+3+2x+4+3x-1\\=6x+6$
