Answer:

The dimensions of the rectangle are length = 7cm and width = 6cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve for the dimensions, you will need to set up two equations in order to solve for the missing variable.  Given the information that the length is 5 cm less then twice it's width, using 'L' for length and 'w' for width we get the following equation:  L = 2w - 5.  Perimeter is the sum of all the sides, or in the case of a rectangle P = 2w + 2L.  We can then use our expression for 'L' in our perimeter formula:  26 = 2w + 2(2w - 5).  First, using the distributive property we get: 26 = 2w + 4w - 10.  Next, we combine like terms:  26 = 6w - 10.  Then, we use inverse operations to isolate the variable:  26 + 10 = 6w - 10 + 10 to get 36 = 6w, divide both sides by 6 to get w = 6.  Lastly, plug in the value of 'w' to 'L':  L = 2(6) - 5 or L = 7.

(x-4)² + (x-2)² = x²

(x² - 8x + 16 ) + (x² - 4x + 4) = x

2x² -12x + 20 = x

2x²-12x + 20 - x = 0

2x² - 13x + 20 = 0

(2x-5) (x-4) = 0

2x-5 = 0

2x = 5

x = ⁵/₂


x-4 = 0

x = 4



so x₁ = ⁵/₂ , and x₂ = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

A = Pi * r * (r + g)

12/2 = 6 ft

A = 3.14 * (6) * (6 + g) = 113.04 (6 + g) square feet

113.04 (6 + g) / 32

Ten large marbles weigh as much as 14 small marbles. How many large marbles weigh as much as 35 small marbles?
Paladinen [302]
To get the answer we can use proportion
10 large ------------- 14 small
x large -------------- 35 small
crossmultiply
10*35=x*14
350=14x            /:14
350:14=14x:14
25=x-its the answer
