the length of a certain rectangle is 5cm more than 3 times its width. if the perimeter of the rectangle is 74 what is the length
and width
1 answer:
The perimeter of a rectangle is the sum of all four sides of the rectangle.
(Perimeter = 2width + 2length)
Let's assume the width of the rectangle to be x.
For length, the statement says that is equals to 3 times the width (= 3x) and 5cm more meaning 5cm would be added to 3 times the width.
Width = x
Length = 3x + 5
Perimeter = 2x + 2(3x+5)
74 = 2x + (6x+10)
74 = 8x + 10
solve for x
8x = 74 - 10
x = 64/8, x=8
Width = 8
length = 3(8)+5 = 29

Step-by-step explanation:
Since the below edge, d = 15 cm, and the height, h = 12.2 cm, we will use the Pythagorean theorem to find the distance r.
Answer:
x+y = 36
x-y = 10
Add these two equations to get
2x = 46
x = 23
Sub x=23 into either equation, I like the first.
23 + y = 36
y = 13
23,13 are the pair.
