The perimeter of the rectangle is 76 units. Find the length of side pq

Mathematics
1 answer:
larisa [96]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:   PQ=16\ units

Step-by-step explanation:

The missing figure is attached.

The perimeter of a rectangle is:

P=2l+2w

Where "l" is the lenght and "w" is the width.

You can identify in the figure that:

w=SR=PQ=2z+2\\\\l=QR=PS=3z+1

Then, knowing the perimeter of the rectangle, you can make the subsitution into the formula:

 76=2(3z+1)+2(2z+2)

Now you must simplify and solve for "z"

76=6z+2+4z+4\\\\76-6=10z\\\\70=10z\\\\\frac{70}{10}=z\\\\z=7

Finally, substituting the value of "z" into  PQ=2z+2, you get:

 PQ=2(7)+2=16\ units

How would you teach something you have learned this year in Math to someone younger than you? Write more than 5 sentences
rewona [7]

Answer:

ok here ya go

Step-by-step explanation:

A way that I would teach someone something that I learned in math this year to someone else is simple. I would start by writing everything out so that they have a visual of what I am teaching them. I would also use a visual of a real world situation so that it relates to something they would understand. Teaching someone younger than you means they probably will not understand as easy as you understood it so, I would be very slow and make sure if they are confused to help them. I would also make sure not to be too bossy, understanding that they may not understand and that is ok.

1. The mark up price of a pair of shoes which costs $125. 00 is 8. 35%. A)What is the final price? If the tax is 6 1/2% How much
Xelga [282]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

The wholesale price of the shoes is 125 dollars

The retailer marks it uu to 35% more to the wholesale price.

So the price is now 125 + 35% * 125 dollars

That amount is 125 + 35/100 * 125 = 125 + 43.75 = 168.75

The government wants its cut of 6.5% of the selling price

So the final price is 168.75 + 168.75 * 6.5/100

The final price is 168.75 + 10.97 = 179.72

Answer: A customer pays 179.72 dollars.

Find the values of x and y. State which theorem(s) you used.
Usimov [2.4K]

The required simplified value of x and y is 32 and 84 respectively.

Given that,
To find the values of x and y. State which theorem(s) you used.

<h3>What is simplification?</h3>

The process in mathematics to operate and interpret the function to make the function or expression simple or more understandable is called simplifying and the process is called simplification.

Vertical opposite angles

3x = 5x - 64
2x = 64
x = 32

Now,

5x - 64 = 5*32 - 64
            = 160 - 64

            = 96°
Now complementary angle y
y = 180 - 96°

y = 84°


Thus, the required simplified value of x and y is 32 and 84 respectively.

Are you study of a population of 1200 frogs you feel that sold out of every 180 frogs in the population has spots on the back ba
Vsevolod [243]

Answer: 1,120 frogs

Step-by-step explanation:

If 12 out of every 180 frogs in the population have spots on their backs, the number that do not are;

= 180 - 12

= 168 frogs

168 frogs out of every 180 do not have spots. Out of 1,200 that would be;

= 168/180 * 1,200

= 1,120 frogs
