Answer:3
Step-by-step explanation:
The length of each side is 28 cm.
the perimeter of the equilateral triangle is 48 cm. To find each side of the original triangle, you do 48/3=16cm. since the triangle dilate by 0.75, then you can just do 0.75*16=12cm. then you have to add 12 to 16 because the triangle gets bigger by 12 cm. so 16+12=28 cm.
Answer:
11 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
Lets say that w = width of the rectangle, to start. If the length of the rectangle is 3 meters greater than 2 times the width, the length of the rectangle is equal to 3 + 2w.
The perimeter of the rectangle is 2 * length of rectangle + 2 * width of the rectangle. With the perimeter being equal to 30 and width being w and length being 2w+3:
The perimeter of the rectangle is 2(w) + 2(2w+3) = 30.
We first need to find out w first, which will give us the width of the rectangle. Taking it step by step, we get:
2w + 4w + 6 = 30
6w + 6= 30
6w = 24 which is done by subtracting both sides by 6 to put the variables on one side and the values on the other side
w = 4 which is done by dividing 6 on both sides
Ultimately, this gets width to be 4 meters. Now that we found the width, we need to plug w = 4 into the equation we set up for length which is 2w+3.
That being said, the ANSWER is:
length of rectangle = 2(4)+3 = 11 meters
Hope this helps! :)
Let James be x years old
Joe = 10 + x
After 8 years
18 + x = 3(x)
18 + x = 3x
18 = 2x
x = 9
Joe is 19
James is 9
