W - width
l - length
p - perimeter
The perimeter is 72 cm (p=72).
The length is twice the width (l=2w).
The formula for perimeter is 2w+2l=P.
Check the answer:
The length of the photo is 24 cm, the width of the photo is 12 cm.
Answer:
18
Step-by-step explanation:
Remark
This is one of those questions that can throw you. The problem is that do you include the original rectangle or not. The way it is written it sounds like you shouldn't
However if you don't the question gives you 2 complex answers. (answers with the sqrt( - 1) in them.
Solution
Let the width = x
Let the length = x + 5
Area of the rectangle: L * w = x * (x + 5)
Area of the smaller squares (there are 2)
Area = 2*s^2
x = s
Area = 2 * x^2
Area of the larger squares = 2 * (x+5)^2
Total Area
x*(x + 5) + 2x^2 + 2(x + 5)^2 = 120 Expand
x^2 + 5x + 2x^2 + 2(x^2 + 10x + 25) = 120 Remove the brackets
x^2 + 5x + 2x^2 + 2x^2 + 20x + 50 = 120 collect the like terms on the left
5x^2 + 25x + 50 = 120 Subtract 120 from both sides.
5x^2 + 25x - 70 = 0 Divide through by 5
x^2 + 5x - 14 = 0 Factor
(x + 7)(x - 2) = 0 x + 7 has no meaning
x - 2 = 0
x = 2
Perimeter
P = 2*w + 2*L
w = 2
L = 2 + 5
L = 7
P = 2*2 + 2 * 7
P = 4 + 14
P = 18
Answer:
You have its E because if it's a A percentage you have to turn the inter despara point
This equation<span> has x terms on both the left and the right. To solve an </span>equation<span> like this, you must first get the variables on the same side of the </span>equal<span> sign. You can subtract 5x on each side of the </span>equal<span> sign, which gives a new </span>equation<span>: x + </span>5<span> = 10. hope this helps</span>
