Dimensions of the rectangle (width and length) are 19 cm and 31 cm respectively.
Step-by-step explanation:
- Step 1: Given that the perimeter = 100 cm, let width be x cm and then length = 12 + x.
Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(length + width)
100 = 2(x + 12 + x)
100 = 4x + 24
4x = 100 - 24 = 76
∴ x = 76/4 = 19 cm
∴ Length = 19 + 12 = 31 cm
4(x - 2) + 6 = 2(5x - 6) <em>use distributive property</em>
(4)(x) + (4)(-2) + 6 = (2)(5x) + (2)(-6)
4x - 8 + 6 = 10x - 12
4x - 2 = 10x - 12 <em>add 2 to both sides</em>
4x = 10x - 10 <em>subtract 10 from both sides</em>
-6x = -10 <em>divide both sides by (-6)</em>
x = 10/6
<h3>x = 5/3</h3>

Answer:
15.5 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The geometry of the problem can be modeled by a right triangle with hypotenuse 16 ft and one side length of 4 ft. If x represents the height of the ladder on the building, then the Pythagorean theorem tells us ...
x^2 + (4 ft)^2 = (16 ft)^2
x^2 = 240 ft^2 . . . . . . subtract 16 ft^2
x ≈ 15.5 ft . . . . . . . . . . take the square root
The top of the ladder is about 15.5 ft above the ground.
