set up an equation for the perimeter

l = length w = width

2l + 2w = 64

set up another equation as you know the length is 3 times the width

w = 3l

subsitute w = 3l into the 2l + 2w = 64

2l + 2(3l) = 64

solve for l

2l + 6l = 64

8l = 64

<em><u>length</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>=</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>8</u></em>

subsitute into w = 3l

w = 3(8)

<em><u>width</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>=</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>2</u></em><em><u>4</u></em>

A cube is shown.<br><br> What is the surface area of the cube?
valkas [14]

1350 cm^2.  First, we must find the area of one side.  The formula for the area of a square is S^2 or S*S, so plugging in the value of the side we get 15*15=225.  So each side of the cube is 225 cm^2, so since there are 6 sides, we just multiply by 6 (225*6=1350).

The solution to the system equations
katovenus [111]

Let's solve this system of equations through substitution.

We have these two equations.

-7x-2y=14

6x+6y=18

Now let divide the second equation by 6.

6x+6y=18 ---->   x+y=3

Next, let us move y to the right side of the equation.

x+y=3 -------> x=3-y (x equals 3-y)

Because we found out that what x is in terms of y, we can input that in for every instance of x in this equation below.

-7x-2y=14 becomes -7(3-y)-2y=14 (Why? Because x equals 3-y!)

We have a one variable equation now and can solve for y.

-7(3-y)-2y=14

-21+7y-2y=14

5y=35

y=7

Plug in 7 for y in any equation to find x.

x+y=3

x+7=3

x=-4

answer: x=-4, y=7

The measure of &lt; A is 45 degree
VashaNatasha [74]

We are given \triangle ABC \cong \triangle EFG

The order of the letter sequence is important. The letters pair up based on how they are arranged. We see that A and E are the first letters of the sequences. So this means that angles A and E are the same measure

angle A = angle E

3x+20 = 5x-80

3x-5x = -80-20

-2x = -100

x = -100/(-2)

x = 50

Use this x value to find the measure of angle A

angle A = 3x+20

angle A = 3(50)+20

angle A = 150+20

angle A = 170 degrees

<h3>Therefore, the statement "the measure of angle A is 45 degrees" is <u>false</u>.</h3>
