We know that the perimeter is the distance around an object. This is also 2 times the length + 2 times the width. We know the width would be X and the length would be 40 feet longer so it is x+40. Now we have 2 (X) + 2 (x+40)=284
Doing the distributive property you would get 2x + 2x + 80=284
add like terms to get 4x+80=284
subtract 80 from both sides to get 4x=204
divide both sides by 4 to get x=51
Width is 51 and width is 40 more than that so length is 91

284=2x+2(x+40)
284=4x+80
204=4x
51=x
dimensions 51 ft by 91ft

Math word problem. What's the equation I use?
UkoKoshka [18]
You would have to find the proportionality of the two.  If his shadow is 3 feet long, and the tree's shadow is 9 that means it is proportioned by 3. So the height of the tree would be 15.

Use the LCD to rewrite 34, 58, and 110 with the same denominator pls help
galben [10]

Answer: 30/40, 25/40, 4/40

Step-by-step explanation: Using the Least Common Denominator, I looked at each multiple of each number to determine 40 as the least common denominator, and since we did 4 x 10 to get 40 in the first one, we do 3 x 10 in the first one as well making it 30/40. The second one we did 8 x 5 to get 40, making the numerator (top number) the product of 5 x 5 which is 25 making it 25/40. For the last one, I used 10 x 4 to get 40 meaning I would have to do 1 x 4 to get the numerator (top number) making it 4/40
