The length of a rectangle is twice its width. The perimeter is 30. Find its dimensions

Mathematics

Step-by-step explanation:

given,

perimeter (p)=30

let the length be x and breadth be x÷2 (as the length is twice of its breadth)

now, perimeter (p)=30

or, 2(l+b)=30

or, 2(x+x/2)=30

or, 6x/2=30

or, 3x=30

therefore the value of x is 10.

the dimensions are,

so, length (l)=10 breadth (b) =10/2=5...ans

hope it will help uh.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The width of the rectangle = x

Therefore the length of the rectangle = 2x, as it is twice its width

We know that the perimeter of a rectangle = 2 × (length + width)

So since the perimeter equals to 30, then we can form the equation:

                                      2×(2x+x) = 30

                                          2×(3x) = 30

                                                6x = 30

                                                   x = 5

width of the rectangle = x = 5

length of the rectangle = 2x = 2×5 = 10

If there is an unit which is in the question, remember to add it to the end of the answer. As you have not written any units in the posted question, I will leave it as it is.

Hope this helps :)

The length of a rectangle is 8 feet more than its width. If the width is increased by 4 feet and the length is decreased by 5 fe
alexgriva [62]
Let the width be x.

Length is 8 feet more than width. Length = x + 8

Area = x(x + 8)

width increased by 4, that is,  (x + 4)
Length decreased by 5,    (x + 8 - 5) = (x + 3)

Area  = (x + 4)(x +3)

Area remains the same

x(x + 8) = (x+4)(x +3)

x² + 8x =   x(x +3) + 4(x +3)

 x² + 8x =   x² +3x + 4x +12

x² + 8x =   x² +7x +12        Eliminate x² from both sides

8x = 7x + 12

8x - 7x = 12

x = 12

Dimensions of original rectangle :  x,  x + 8

12, 12 +8 =   12, 20

Original rectangle is   20 feet   by 12 feet

Michelle's mother bought 7 large pizzas for her birthday party. Each large pizza is cut into eighths. if 5/8 of the total slices
nirvana33 [79]
So we know that there are 8 slices per large pizza (7), so a total of 56 slices
we would set up a proportion
5/8=x/56
8 times 7 gives you 56, and we would do that same thing to the 5 (multiply it by 7) to get 35?
so now we know that 35 out of 56 slices were eaten
56-35 is 21
so there are 21 slices left over
