The formula for the perimeter is P = 2<em>w</em> + 2<em>l</em>, where <em>w</em> is the width and <em>l</em> is the length. It is given that the width = (x+2) and the length = (x+6). Therefore, we can make this equation:
P = 2<em>w</em> + 2<em>l</em>
64 = 2(x+2) + 2(x+6) ⇒ Distributive property
⇒ 64 = 2x + 4 + 2x + 12 ⇒ Combine like terms
⇒ 64 = 4x + 16 ⇒ Subtract 16 from both sides
⇒ 48 = 4x ⇒ Divide both sides by 4
⇒ x = 12
Then, we use x = 12 and substitute it in to find the length and width
<em>Width</em> = (x+2) = (12+2) = 14
<em>Length</em> = (x+6) = (12+6) = 18
The dimensions of the patio is <u>14 by 18</u>
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
She makes $325 a week, so go to the 8th row, for weekly income of $300 to $400. She claims 2 exemptions, so go to the third column labeled 2. The value is 2. That means the $2 is withheld from her paycheck on top of the 6.25% for FICA. The total is therefore:
$2 + (0.0625) ($325)
$22.3125
Rounded to the nearest cent, that's $22.31.
Each dimension has to be 1" or bigger, otherwise the cube won't fit. _________ WAIT ! The container doesn't have to be rectangular, and that opens up a lot more possibilities. The smallest possible rectangular container is a little tiny cardboard cube whose dimensions are all 1", just like the contents. But you could also keep it in a container shaped like a pyramid, a cylinder, an egg, etc. If the container is a sphere, then its radius has to be at least 0.866 inch.
It’s 20% because 10/10 would be 100% and 1/10 would be 10%
