Answer with explanation:

→  Let L be the Length and B be the Breadth of rectangular mat.

     Area of rectangular Mat = Length (L) * Breadth (B)

                                              =L*B square units

→  Let , a be the side of Square.

Area of square =(Side)²

                             =a² square units

→→It is also, given that The area of the square mat is half the area of one of the rectangular mats.

\rightarrow a^2=\frac{LB}{2}\\\\LB=2a^2\\\\ \text{Length of one square mat(L)}=\frac{2a^2}{\text{Breadth(B)}}\\\\\L=\frac{2\times {\text{Area of Square}}}{\text{Breadth of rectangle}}\\\\B=\frac{2\times {\text{Area of Square}}}{\text{Length of rectangle}}

So by definition, area is equal to the length (x) times the width (y). The area of the square mat is = x × y, or xy
If the area of<span> the rectangular mat is twice that of the square mat, the area of the rectangular mat would have to be = 2 </span>× x × y<span>
This can be written as 2x </span>× y, making the length of the rectangular mat twice that of the square mat's length, and the width the same as the square mat's width.<span>

Rewrite as a mathematical equation and solve: 3 less than the product of 5 and a number is 42. Find the number.
Temka [501]

5x-3=42. To solve you add three to both sides making the equation 5x=45. Then you divide both sides by five, and you get 9 as your answer.

The measure angle A is (2x+3), B (4x+2), C (2x-1). What are the measures of the angles?
Rudik [331]

Answer:

<A= 47, <B= 90, <C= 43

Step-by-step explanation:

2x +3 + 4x + 2 + 2x-1 = 180

8x + 4= 180

8x = 176

x =22

2x+3= 44+3= 47

4x+2 = 88+2 = 90

2x-1= 44-1 = 43
