the area of a rectangle is 42 square inches and one side is 12 inches long . find the perimeter of the rectangle

1 answer:

6 0

The area is one side times the other side
Make the other side x.
12x=42
x=42/12=3.5
The perimeter is 2x+2y where x and y are sides of the rectangle.
P= 2(3.5)+2(12)=7+24=31 inches
Hope this helps.

Which sentence matches the mathematical equation? p-0.40p=0.60p

IRISSAK [1]

P-0.40p = 0.60p

C. Decrease by 40% is the same as multiply by 60%.

Assume that p = 10

10 - 0.40(10) = 0.60(10)
10 - 4 = 6
6 = 6

Based on the above assumption. 40% of 10 is 4 ; and 60% of 10 is 6. So, 10 less 4(40% of 10) is equal to 6 (60% of 10).

Percentage is used because 0.40 and 0.60 will be multiplied with 100% to get the equivalent percentage 0.40 x 100% = 40% ; 0.60 x 100% = 60%
