Answer:

length: 23 m; width: 11 m.

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a rectangle is twice the sum of its length and width, so that sum is 34 m. Then you can write two equations in length and width:

l + w = 34

l - w = 12

Adding these together gives you ...

2l = 46

l = 23 . . . . . . divide by 2

Then the width is

w = 23 -12 = 11

The length and width are 23 m and 11 m, respectively.

A car starts with a speed of 20km/ hr and accelerates at a rate of 3.4 m/s for 20 seconds. What is the final speed of the car in

Schach [20]

The relevant formula that we can use in this situation is:

v = v0 + at

where v is the final velocity, v0 is the initial velocity = 20 km/hr, a is acceleration at 3.4 m/s^2 and t is time at 20 seconds

First convert v0 to m/s, v0 = 5.56 m/s

v = 5.56 m/s + 3.4 m/s^2 * 20 s

v = 73.56 m/s

Then convert back to km/hr:

v = 264.82 km/hr

△BCD is a right triangle. The length of the hypotenuse is 19 centimeters. The length of one of the legs is 13 centimeters.

zheka24 [161]

here we can use Pythogoras' theorem.
in right angled triangles the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other 2 sides.
hypotenuse is 19 cm. One side is 13 cm and we need to find the length of the third side.

19² = 13² + X²
X - length of the third side

361 = 169 + X²
X² = 361 - 169

X² = 192

X = 13.85 the length of third side rounded off to the nearest tenth is 13.9 cm
