Answer:
Length = 17 cm
Width = 8 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the length be x cm
Therefore, Width = (x - 9) cm
Perimeter of rectangle = 2(l +w)
50 = 2[x + (x - 9)]
50/2 = 2x - 9
25 = 2x - 9
25+ 9 = 2x
2x = 34
x = 34/2
x = 17 cm
x - 9 = 17 - 9 = 8 cm
Therefore,
Length = 17 cm
Width = 8 cm
Thus, the dimensions of the rectangle are 17 cm and 8 cm.
Answer: 2 + 2 = 4
Step-by-step explanation: Let's say you have 2 cars, and you friend has 2 cars, for your birthday, your friend gives you his 2 cars, so now in total you have 4 cars, hope this helped! -Mason
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
Let c = hypotenuse = 2x
One of the legs = x. Let a or b = x.
I will let a = x. We can then say that b = 3.
3^2 + x^2 = (2x)^2
9 + x^2 = 4x^2
9 = 4x^2 - x^2
9 = 2x^2
9/2 = x^2
sqrt{9/2} = sqrt{x^2}
3/sqrt{2} = x
Rational denominator.
[3•sqrt{2}]/2 = x = a
Side 3 is given to be 3 feet. So, b = 3.
Hypotenuse = 2x
Hypotenuse = 2([3•sqrt{2}]/2)
Hypotenuse = 3•sqrt{2}
Understand?
The three sides are 3, [3•sqrt{2}]/2 and
3•sqrt{2}.
The ladder should be placed three feet away from the wall
