Answer:

  =16sqrt(2) inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let w = width

The length is 3 times longer than the width

L =3w

A = l*w

24 = (3w) *w

24 = 3w^2

Divide each side by 3

24/3 = 3w^2/3

8 = w^2

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(8) = sqrt(w^2)

sqrt(4)sqrt(2) = w

2sqrt(2) =w

Now we can find the length

L = 3w

L = 3(2sqrt(2))

L =6sqrt(2)

The final step is to find the perimeter

Perimeter is 2(l+w)

P =2(l+w)

   =2(2sqrt(2) +6sqrt(2))

Combine like terms

   =2(8sqrt(2))

  =16sqrt(2)

Answer:  The answer is 16√2 cm.


Step-by-step explanation:  Given that there is a rectangle with length 3 times than its width. We are to find the perimeter of the rectangle.

Let 'w' represents the width of the rectangle.

Then, its length will be 3w.

Also, area of the rectangle = 24 square inches.

Therefore,

3w\times w=24\\\\\Rightarrow 3w^2=24\\\\\Rightarrow w^2=8\\\\\Rightarrow w=2\sqrt 2.

So, width = 2√2 inches and length = 6√2 inches.

Thus, perimeter of the rectangle = 4√2 + 12√2 = 16√2 cm.

a. The lateral area is the area of 5 congruent triangles. The strategy for computing their area will depend on the dimensions given. There are methods for computing triangle area based on side lengths, base length and height, coordinates of the points, and other dimensions. One straightforward way, given the appropriate dimensions is to multiply the slant height by the perimeter of the base, then divide that product by 2.


The base area is that of 5 congruent triangles. Again, their total area can be computed from half the product of the perimeter of the base and the apothem (height of the triangle).


The total surface area is the sum of lateral area and base area.


For example, given the apothem of the base (a) and the slant height of the side face (s), the total surface area (A) will be

... A = 5·a·tan(36°)·(a + s)


b. The volume is conventionally calculated as 1/3 of the product of the base area (B) and the height (h).

... V = (1/3)Bh


c. The volume of a prism with the same base area and height will be

... V = Bh

The volume of a pyramid is 1/3 of that.


d. A plane can intersect this pyramid to form a triangle, rectangle, trapezoid or other irregular quadrilateral, pentagon, or hexagon. The number of edges the cross-section has depends on the number of faces (including the base) the plane cuts. That number can be 3 through 6.

Answer:  When t = 4.25    R(t) = D(t)

This tells you that at 4.25 seconds into their flights, both the Rocket and the Drone were at a height of 20 feet.

Step-by-step explanation: The point where the two graphed lines cross is where the values are equal.

The Drone has been hovering at 20 feet between 2 and 5 seconds. The Rocket passed through that height for a brief (millisecond) time as it was falling back to the ground.

Without grid lines it is my best estimation (using a ruler to create a verticla line from the intersection of the lines to the time scale) that t = 4.25. It is between 4 and 4.5 seconds.
