Answer:
27 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Combined perimeter = perimeter of rectangle + perimeter of triangle = 63 inches
Perimeter of rectangle = 2(L + W)
L = 11 in.
W = 7 in.
Perimeter of rectangle = 2(11 + 7) = 36 in.
Let perimeter of the triangle be represented by x
Therefore:
36 + x = 63
Subtract 36 from each side
x = 63 - 36
x = 27
Perimeter of triangle = 27 inches
The intercepts are -2 and -7 on the x-axis
3/4= j-1/2
first to add 1/2 to both sides to solve for j
3/4 + 1/2= j
second you find a common denominator in order to add 3/4 and 1/2, the common denominator would be 4, you would have to change 3/4 at all because the denominator is already 4 but in order to make the denominator of 1/2, 4 you would have to multiply both the denominator and numerator by 2 so
3/4 + 2/4 = 5/4
so 5/4 =j
to check your answer you plug 5/4 in for j
3/4 = 5/4 -1/2
again you need to find a common denominator between 5/4 and 1/2 which again would be 4, and again you wouldn't change 5/4 but you would multiply both the numerator and the denominator of 1/2 so
3/4= 5/4-2/4
5-2= 3 and you would keep the 4 so
5/4 - 2/4 = 3/4
so j = 5/4

12. 5.5
13.68
if x=3 it is

Answer:
The original piece of wood is 108 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
From the given ratio, the shortest is of the ratio 5 and the longest is of the ratio 7
Let the original piece of wood be x
so the sum of the ratios will be;
5 + 6 + 6 + 7 = 24
the shortest length would be 5/24 * x
= 5x/24
the longest will be 7/24 * x = 7x/24
From the question;
7x/24 -5x/24 = 9
(7x-5x) = 24(9)
2x = 24(9)
x = (24 * 9)/2
x = 108 cm
