Answer:

The answer to your question is length = 19 and width = 12 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Perimeter = 62 ft

Width = length - 7

Process

1.- Write equations that help to solve this problem

    Perimeter = P = 2w + 2l

                         w = l - 7

2.- Substitution

                       62 = 2w + 2l           Equation l

                         w = l - 7                 Equation ll

Solve the system of equations by substitution

- Substitute equation ll in equation l

                      62 = 2(l - 7) + 2l

-Simplification

                      62 = 2l - 14 + 2l

                      62 + 14 = 4l

                              76 = 4l

                                 l = 76/4

                                 l = 19 ft

-Find w

                       w = 19 - 7

                       w = 12 ft

Which is the height of the triangle?<br> ( PIC IS PROVIDE PLS HELP ME)
zysi [14]
<h3>Answer: 80 meters</h3>

This is an isosceles triangle. The dashed line is the height which is perpendicular to the base 120. The height is always perpendicular to the base. The dashed line cuts the base into two equal pieces (this only works for isosceles triangles when you cut at the vertex like this).

So we have two smaller triangles each with a base of 60 and a height of x. Focus on one of the right triangles and use the pythagorean theorem to solve for x.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

x^2 + (60)^2 = (100)^2

x^2 + 3600 = 10000

x^2 = 10000 - 3600

x^2 = 6400

x = sqrt(6400)

x = 80

Each smaller right triangle has side lengths of 60, 80, 100

Note the ratio 60:80:100 reduces to 3:4:5. A 3-4-5 right triangle is a very common pythagorean primitive.

ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

After a year you would have $1,825

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount for one cat a day in cents

10x25=250

Amount for one cat for a year in cents

250x365=91,250

Amount for both cats for a year in cents

91,250x2=182,500

Amount for both cats for a year dollars

182,500/100=1,825
