Answer:
6%
Step-by-step explanation:
450.5 - 425 = 25.5
25.5/425= .06
.06 times 100 = 6
The answer is 5 cm for the circumference of the smaller square
It's a simultaneous equation:
Steps:
1.Number the equations..
a+b=77 -1
a-b=13 -2
2. Choose what variable you want to use. In this case I would use the "b". Since the signs in front of the "b's" are different, add the two equations together
a + b = 77
+ + +
a (-b) = 13
Which gives;
2a = 90
Then solve to find a:
2a=90
a= 90/2
a=45
3.Then plug the "a" value into any of the original equations to find the "b" value. I would use equation 1 since the all the variables are positive.
a + b = 77
(45) + b = 77
b=77-45
b=32
4.Solution
a=45
b=32
Length = 2W
P= 2L + 2W
60 = 2(2W) + 2W
60= 4W +2W
60 = 6W
60/6W = 6W/6W
w = 10
Length = 2(10)
Length = 20
P= 2L + 2W
60= 2(20) + 2(10)
60= 40 +20
60 = 60
The answer to your problem is 58/90
