Answer:

LENGTH= 16 and WIDTH= 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of rectangle be l

and, its width be b

So, according to question

l = b+3

and,

2(l+b)=58

[We know that perimeter of a rectangle= 2(l+b)]

Substituting l=b+3 in 2nd equation

2(b+3+b)=58

2b+3=58/2

2b+3=29

2b=29-3=26

b=26/2

b= 13

So, l=b+3

l= 13+3=16

Hence the dimensions are 16 and 13

likoan [24]

Given:

The tens digit of a two digit number is 5 greater the units digit.

If you subtract double the reversed number from it, the result is a fourth of the original number.

To find:

The original number.

Solution:

Let n be the two digit number and x be the unit digit. Then tens digit is (x+5) and the original number is:

$n=(x+5)\times 10+x\times 1$

$n=10x+50+x$

$n=11x+50$

Reversed number is:

$x\times 10+(x+5)\times 1=10x+x+5$

$x\times 10+(x+5)\times 1=11x+5$

If you subtract double the reversed number from it, the result is a fourth of the original number.

$11x+50-2(11x+5)=\dfrac{1}{4}(11x+50)$

$11x+50-22x-10=\dfrac{1}{4}(11x+50)$

$40-11x=\dfrac{1}{4}(11x+50)$

Multiply both sides by 4.

$160-44x=11x+50$

$160-50=11x+44x$

$110=55x$

Divide both sides by 55.

$\dfrac{110}{55}=x$

$2=x$

The unit digit is 2. So, the tens digit is $2+5=7$ .

Therefore, the original number is 72.

What is the radian measure of central angle AOB in the circles? Write down the answer in the lowest terms

Katena32 [7]

5pi/12 radians

The arc measure is 75, so theta must also be the same. if theta is 75, and 75 in radians is 5pi/12 radians, then the answer is that.

A rectangle has an area of 36 inches squared. Write an equation to show how the length (l) varies inversely the width (w).

Anastaziya [24]

Start with the first sentence, and the definition of the area of a rectangle:
l * w = 36

Rewrite the equation to get
l = 36 / w
or
w = 36 / l
Either one shows the inverse relationship between w and l.

Assuming the last part wants you to write an equation for an x-y graph, the equation would be
y = 36 / x
