Area of the rectangle is 69 feet²

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

To solve the above questions, we need to recall some of the formulas as follows:

Area of Rectangle = Length × Width

Perimeter of Rectangle = 2 × ( Length + Width )

Let us now tackle the problem !

<u>Given:</u>

Perimeter of Rectangle = P = 35¹/₂ feet

Length of Rectangle = L = 12 feet

<u>Unknown:</u>

Area of Rectangle = A = ?

<u>Solution:</u>

This problem is about Area and Perimeter of Rectangle.

<em>Let's find the width of Rectangle.</em>

\texttt{Perimeter of Rectangle} = 2( \texttt{Length} + \texttt{Width} )

35\frac{1}{2} = 2( 12 + \texttt{Width} )

35\frac{1}{2} \div 2 = ( 12 + \texttt{Width} )

17\frac{3}{4} = ( 12 + \texttt{Width})

\texttt{Width} = 17\frac{3}{4} - 12

\texttt{Width} = \boxed {5\frac{3}{4} ~ \texttt{feet}}

<em>Let's find the area of Rectangle.</em>

\texttt{Area of Rectangle} = \texttt{Length} \times \texttt{Width}

A = L \times W

A = 12 \times 5\frac{3}{4}

A = \boxed {69 ~ \texttt{feet}^2}

Answer:

The area of the rectangle is 69 feet squared.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that perimeter is all of the sides of an object added together. Since the length is 12 feet, that means that 24 feet (2 sides of the rectangle) is the length. That leaves us with 11 1/2 feet. This needs to be divided by 2 to find the width since there are 2 sides for width. 11 1/2 / 2 = 5 3/4. To find the area.  (l x w), you can multiply 12 by 5 3/4 to get 69. Now write the correct units which are feet squared.

Given: Quadrilaterals ABCD ~ EFGH , with measure of angle A = 47 degrees, measure of angle B = 39 degrees, and measure of angle
kaheart [24]

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Two polygons are said to be congruent if they have the same size and shape that is their corresponding angles and sides are equal.

Hence since Quadrilaterals ABCD is congruent to EFGH, then their corresponding angles and sides are equal.

In quadrilateral ABCD:

∠A + ∠B + ∠C + ∠D = 360° (sum of angles in a quadrilateral)

Substituting:

47 + 39 + 112 + ∠D = 360

∠D + 198 = 360

∠D = 360 - 198

∠D = 162°

The image of Quadrilaterals ABCD and EFGH is not given but let us assume that they have the same orientation, hence:

∠A = ∠E = 47°

∠B = ∠F = 39°

∠C = ∠G = 112°

∠D = ∠H = 162°

Well to find this answer, you want to divide $1.39 by 67.6. When you do this you get 0.0205. This is roughly 2 cents per ounce.

WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

-5 divide by 28

Step-by-step explanation:

so the question supposed be " 15-20 divided by 2(4) + 20

15-20 which is also 15 + (-20)= -5

2(4)=8, 8+20=28

so it can simplify into -5 / 28

(hope it helps :)
