Answer:
- Length = 43 inches
- Width = 12 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Perimeter of a rectangle = 2 * ( L + W)
The length of a rectangle is 5 inches less than 4 times the width.
Assume the width is x. Length is:
4x - 5
Equation is therefore:
2 * (4x - 5 + x) = 110
4x - 5 + x = 110/2
5x - 5 = 55
5x = 55 + 5
x = 60/5
x = 12 inches
If width is 12 inches, then length is:
= 4x - 5
= 4 * 12 -5
= 43 inches


To solve this, we have to simplify these numbers by adding like terms.


Next, we factor our expression. To do so, we look for the greatest common factor of 42 and 14, which is 14. We know that because 42 divided by 14 is 3.


Answer:
Figure 1: 226 
Figure 2: 111 
Step-by-step explanation:
For the first figure, you will split it into two rectangles. You would do 28 x 7 for the first rectangle and get 196. Then, you would do 6 x 5 for the second rectangle and get 30. You would then add these two numbers and get the area of 226 ft^{2}}.
For the second figure, you split it into one triangle and two rectangles. For the triangle, you would do 3 x 6 and then divide that by 1/2, since it is a triangle, and you get 9. For the first rectangle, you would do 10 x 7 and you would get 70. For the final rectangle, you would do 8 x 4 and get 32. You would then add all these numbers up and get the area of 111 mm^{2}.
There are many different ways to figure this out but may I ask you one question....do you know whether the two legs are congruent or just the right angle?
