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!

Find the smallest number that is divisible by 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and add 1.
We need the least common multiple of 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.

2 = 2
3 = 3
4 = 2^2
5 = 5
6 = 2 * 3

LCM = product of common and not common prime factors with larger exponent.

LCM = 2^2 * 3 * 5 = 4 * 3 * 5 = 60

To always have a remainder of 1, you need of add 1 to 60.

The number is 61.

Check:
61/2 = 30 remainder 1
61/3 = 20 remainder 1
61/4 = 15 remainder 1
61/5 = 12 remainder 1
61/6 = 10 remainder 1

Answer:

  no

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle of the ramp as designed by the planning department is ...

  tan(angle) = (3 ft)/(25 ft)

  angle = arctan(3/25) ≈ 6.84°

This angle exceeds the required 4.75°, so does not meet code.
