Length of the rectangular patio = 12 1/2 feet
                                                  = 25/2 feet
Area of the rectangular patio = 103 1/8 square feet
                                               = 825/8 square feet
Let us assume the width of the rectangular patio = x feet
 Then
Area of the rectangular patio = Length * Width
825/8 = (25/2) * x
25x/2 = 825/8
25x = (825 * 2)/8 feet
25x = 825/4 feet
x = 825/(4 * 25) feet
   = 33/4 feet
   = 8 1/4 feet
So the width of the rectangular patio is 8 1/4 feet. I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand.

In a triangle, the sum of the measures of the first two angles is 12 less than the measure of the third angle. In addition, the
PSYCHO15rus [73]

the sum of the internal angles of a triangle are equal to 180 degrees.

once i remembered that the problem became a lot easier.

let a, b, and c be the angles of the triangle.

-----

let a = 2*b

-----

let c = a+b-12

-----

the above two statements are given.

since the sum of the internal angles of a triangle are equal to 180, then we have a third equation to work with which is

-----

a + b + c = 180

-----

we now have 3 equations for 3 unknowns and we should be able to solve for each of the unknowns.

-----

it looks like the easiest thing is to solve for b. once we find b, the rest should fall into place very nicely.

-----

since a = 2*b, we can substitute 2*b for a in the equation a + b + c = 180.

that equation then becomes 2*b + b + c = 180 which becomes 3*b + c = 180.

looking at the equation c = a + b - 12, we solve for b as follows:

since we know that a = 2 * b, we can substitute 2*b for a and the equation becomes c = 2*b + b - 12 which becomes c = 3*b - 12.

-----

the equation we are working with is 3*b + c = 180 which originally started as a + b + c = 180.

we can substitute 3*b - 12 for c and the equation becomes

3*b + 3*b - 12 = 180 which becomes 6*b = 192 after adding 12 to both sides and combining like terms.

dividing both sides of the equation by 6 and we get b = 32 degrees.

-----

we have b = 32 degrees.

we have a = 2 * b so a = 64 degrees.

we have c = a + b - 12 which becomes c = 32 + 64 - 12 which becomes c = 96 - 12 which becomes c = 84 degrees.

-----

substituting in the equation a + b + c = 180, we get 32 + 64 + 84 = 180 which becomes 96 + 84 = 180 which becomes 180 = 180.

-----

answer is:

a
