If the perimeter of a rectangle is 38 inches how tall is it

1 answer:

7 0

P = 2l + 2w
38 = 2l + 2w 
l = w + 3 , (the length is 3 inches more than the width) 

then substitute w + 3 to l in 38 = 2l + 2w 

38 = 2(w + 3) + 2w 

38 = 2w + 6 + 2w 

38 = 4w + 6, then take away 6 from both sides 

32 = 4w, then divide both sides by 4 

w = 8 inches (width)

Can anyone help me convert this to standard form? It can’t have decimals or fractions.

Find b of y = mx + b first using a modified version of the equation.

b = y - mx
b = -1 -(1.2×-3)
b = 13/5 = 2.6

y = 1.2x + 2.6 ← result of substituting values of m and b into y = mx + b

-1.2x + y = 2.6 ← result of subtracting 1.2x from both sides

12x - 10y = -26 ← result of multiplying previous equation by -10

6x - 5y = -13 ← result of dividing previous equation by 2

ANSWER: 6x - 5y = -13

Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

1857 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that the scale on a map is 1 cm:30 mi. The distance on the map between San Francisco, CA, and Chicago, IL, is 61.9 cm. We are asked to find the actual distance between San Francisco and Chicago.

We will use proportions to solve our given problem.

$\frac{\text{Actual distance}}{\text{Map distance}}=\frac{30\text{ miles}}{1\text{ cm}}$

Upon substituting map distance between San Francisco and Chicago, we will get:

$\frac{\text{Actual distance}}{61.9\text{ cm}}=\frac{30\text{ miles}}{1\text{ cm}}$

$\frac{\text{Actual distance}}{61.9\text{ cm}}\cdot 61.9\text{ cm}=\frac{30\text{ miles}}{1\text{ cm}}\cdot 61.9\text{ cm}$

$\text{Actual distance}=30\text{ miles}\cdot 61.9$

$\text{Actual distance}=1857\text{ miles}$

Therefore, the actual distance between San Francisco and Chicago is 1857 miles.
