The perimeter of the figure is 6x. Find length of side. x + 3, 2x+4.

1) Let's look at what we know and Create an equation:

Perimeter: 6x

Side A: x + 3

Side B: 2x + 4

Side C (Unknown): Let's call this 'a'.

Because you find the perimeter of a figure by adding the lengths of all its sides together, our equation would be (the parentheses are only there to help you visualize):

(X + 3) + (2x +4) + (a) = 6x

(Side A+Side B+Side C = Perimeter)

2) From here, we combine like terms:

3x + 7 + a = 6x

3) Isolate the variable in which we are solving for (a):

<u>a = 3x - 7</u>

Since we cannot simplify any further, the length of the missing side is <u>3x - 7</u>.

Part A: Find a rational number that is between 7.7 and 7.9. Explain why it is rational. (2 points)
8_murik_8 [283]
A rational number is any number that can be written as the ratio between two other numbers i.e. in the form \frac{a}{b}

Part A:
An easy choice that makes sense is 7.8, right in the middle. To prove that it's rational we need to write it as a ratio. In this case we have 7.8=\frac{78}{10}

Part B:
We need a number that can't be written as a ratio (because it neither terminates nor repeats). Some common ones are \sqrt{2}, e, \phi and \pi so it makes sense to try and use those to build our number. In this case \frac{11\sqrt{2}}{5}\approx7.78 works nicely.

Toni rows a boat 4.5 km/h upstream and then turns around and rows 5.5 km/h back downstream to her starting point. If her total r
Masja [62]

Answer:

about 26 min

Step-by-step explanation:

Toni rows a boat 4.5 km/h upstream and then turns around and rows 5.5 km/h back downstream to her starting point

First we find the average speed

We add both speed and divide it by 2

\frac{4.5+5.5}{2} = 5

Now we find the distance for round trip

given total time is 48 mins. convert mins into hours

48 mins = 48 divide by 60 = 0.8

average speed = 5 km/hr

Distance = speed * time = 5 * 0.8 = 4 km

distance covered both ways = 4 km

so 4 divide by 2 = 2 km each way

To find time taken for upstream = distance of each way / speed of upstream

time = \frac{2}{4.5} = 0.44 hours

Now convert hours into minutes

0.44* 60= 26.4 minutes
