Answer:

lenght=57

width=33

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a rectangle is calculated using the formula

P=2(w+l) where P is the perimeter, w is the width and l is the length.

We know

P=180

lenght (l) = x (unknown value)

width (w)= x-24

Now we change these values in the formula

180=2((x-24)+x)

180=2(x-24+x)

180=2(2x-24)

180=4x-48

180+48=4x

228=4x

x=228/4

x=57

Therefore

P=180

w= x-24 =57-24 <em>=33</em>

<em>l=57</em>

To confirm:

P=2(w+l)=2(33+57)=2(90)=180

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!

A rectangle has an area of 99 square in. What is the length of the long side?
OLga [1]

Answer:

The longer length is either 99, 33 or 11 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Area = 99

Required

The length of the longer side

Area of a rectangle is:

Area = Length * Width

List out all possible products that give 99 [Assume the dimension are whole numbers]

Length * Width = 99 * 1 = 99

Length * Width = 33 * 3 = 99

Length * Width = 11 * 9 = 99

List out the longer factors

L = \{99, 33, 11\}

<em>Hence, the longer length is either 99, 33 or 11 inches</em>

twice a number plus another number is 310. The difference between the two numbers is 55. What are the two numbers
Masteriza [31]
T us assume the two numbers to be "x" and "y".
Then
2x + y = 310
And
x - y = 55
Let us take the second equation and find the value of x in relation to y.
x - y = 55
x = y + 55
Now let us put the value of x in the first equation, we get
2x + y = 310
2(y + 55) + y = 310
2y + 110 + y = 310
3y = 310 - 110
3y = 200
y = 200/3
   = 66 2/3
Now putting the value of y in the second equation, we get
x - y = 55
x - (200/3) = 55
3x - 200 = 55 * 3
3x = 165 + 200
x = 365/3
   = 121 2/3
So the value of x is 121 2/3 and the value of y is 66 2/3
