Answer:
width = 2 units
Step-by-step explanation:
If the length of a rectangle is (x) units, then that means that the width of a rectangle is x - 4 units.
the area of a rectangle is length * width
so just substitute the values that we have now.
x (length) * (x-4) width = 12 (area of rectangle)
so that gives us
x^2 - 4x =12
subtract 12 from both sides
x^2 - 4x - 12 =0
now factor this equation
x^2 + 2x - 6x -12 = 0
x(x+2) - 6(x+2) = 0
(x-6)(x+2) = 0
x = 6, or x = -2 REMEMBER THAT VALUE OF x = LENGTH, IT CANNOT BE NEGATIVE AS YOU CANT HAVE NEGATIVE VALUE OF A SIDE
length = 6, and width = 6 -4 = 2
Answer:
A. 10 B. 15
Step-by-step explanation:
A. 25/1 * 2/5= 50/5
reduced it is 10
B. 25-10=15
Answer:
12 cm and 24 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
The line is divided in the ratio 2 : 4 = 2x : 4x ( x is a multiplier )
The sum is therefore
2x + 4x = 36
6x = 36 ( divide both sides by 6 )
x = 6
Thus
GP = 2x = 2 × 6 = 12 cm
PR = 4x = 4 × 6 = 24 cm
The surface area of the triangle is 1/2 * 6*8 so it is 24 sq units
The whole thing is 24* 7.5 so it is 180 sq units
