Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x + 2x + (x - 45)
Step-by-step explanation:
seamus is x
aime is twice seamus so multiply x by 2
shane did it 45 less than seamus so subtract by 45
This is another one for my "impossible math question" file. All of the answer choices are wrong. (None applies.)
According to the problem statement, the length you have marked "x" in the diagram is 15 inches. If the side length of one of the pavers is "s", then the Pythagorean theorem tells us
s² + (2s)² = 15²
5s² = 225
s² = 225/5 = 45 . . . . . . the area of one square is 45 in² (not 225 in²)
Then
s = √45 = 3√5 . . . . . . . the length of one side is not 5√3
so the perimeter is
p = 4s = 4·3√5 in = 12√5 in ≈ 26.83 in . . . . not 75 inches.
The area of the 6-block L-shaped path is
total area = 6s² = 6·45 in² = 270 in² . . . . not 450 in²
And the total perimeter is 14 sides, so is
total perimeter = 14s = 14·3√5 in = 42√5 in . . . . not 60√3 in

In cases like this where the answer key is incorrect, you might try asking your teacher show the class how to work the problem.
Given:
Length = 4,450.5 meters
Width = 2,890 meters
1 kilometer = 1,000 meters
Length: 4,450.5 meters * 1km/1,000 meters = 4,450.5 km/1,000 = 4.4505km
Width: 2,890 meters * 1km/1,000 meters = 2,890 km/1,000 = 2.89 km
4.4505 km - 2.89 km = 1.5605 km
The length of the fence is 1.5605 km longer than the width of the fence.
Subtract 6 from 10 and your answer is x<4
