Answer:
x+1+2x-6= 16
3x-5 =16
3x=16+5
3x=21
x=21/3
x= 7
VW= 2x-6 = 2(7) -6 = 14-6 = 8
Answer:
20 fence posts.
Step-by-step explanation:
Calvin is building a fence. The fence will enclose a 100 square foot area, 10 ft wide by 10 ft long. Calvin can put fence posts 2 feet apart.
Now, if he puts a fence post at each corner of the building, then considering each length of the building there will be
posts along each length.
Now, considering each width of the building there will be
posts (excluding the corner posts) along each width.
Therefore, in total there will be (6 + 6 + 4 + 4) = 20 fence post in the total fence. (Answer)
He will be making a right triangle with the legs being 24 x 45. The diagonal will be the hypotenuse of the triangle. To find the amount of fencing we need the perimeter of the triangle.
Use Pythagorean theorem to find the length of the hypotenuse.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
24^2 + 45^2 = c^2
576 + 2025 = c^2
2601 = c^2
sqrt 2601 = c
c = 51
Adding the three lengths the total fencing needed is
51+24+45=120 meters
