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.

Including the bus driver, there are 15 people on a bus. During the bus ride, each person produces 750 BTUs (British Thermal Unit
Alecsey [184]
This is the concept of applications of volume. We are required to calculate BTUs per cubic foot. This will be given by the formula:
(BTU)/volume
Total BTU=15*750=11,250
(assuming the bus is a perfect cuboid) volume of the bus will be;
volume=length*width*height
=38*8.5*6.25
=2018.75 ft^2
Thus the BTUs per foot will be:
11250/2018.75
5.57 BTUs/ft

The length of the opposite side of a right triangle is 2cm longer than the length of the adjacent side. The hypotenuse is 4cm lo
marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the adjacent side length in cm

opposite side is x + 2 cm

hypotenuse is x + 4 cm

x² + (x + 2)² = (x + 4)²

x² + (x² + 4x + 4) = (x² + 8x + 16)

x² - 4x - 12 = 0

(x - 6)(x + 2) = 0

so either

x - 6 = 0    x = 6

or

x + 2 = 0    x = -2

positive answer is x = 6 as negative length does not make sense

opposite side is 6 + 2 = 8

hypotenuse is 6 + 4 = 10

perimeter is 6 + 8 + 10 = 24 cm
