Mathematics
1 answer:
Alex777 [14]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

  4 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The side of the square will be the average of the two sides of the rectangle with the same perimeter.

Formulas for the perimeters are ...

  P = 2(L+W)

  P = 4s

Equating these gives ...

  4s = 2(L+W)

  s = (L +W)/2 . . . . . divide by 4

For the given side lengths, ...

  s = (2 cm +6 cm)/2 = (8/2) cm = 4 cm

The length of one side of the square is 4 cm.

What is the solution of the system? Use elimination. 3x – 4y = 9 –3x + 2y = 9
klio [65]
We are given with two equations and is asked to determine the solution of the system of linear equation. via elimination, we add the two equations to eliminate 3x, this means y should be equal to 9 and from the first equation, x should also be equal to 9, too

A rational number is such that when you multiply it by 5/2 and add 2/3 to the product, you get 7/12. What is the number?
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:A rational number is such that when you multiply it by 5/2 and add 2/3 to the product you get -7/12 . What is the number.

Step-by-step explanation:Let p/q (q ≠ 0) denote the rational number. Multiplying it by 5/2 gives (p/q)(5/2). Add 2/3 to the product and we get (p/q)(5/2) + 2/3 . The result is given to be -7/12.

∴ (p/q)(5/2) + 2/3 = -7/12 …………………………..……………………………………..(1)

Transposing 2/3 to right-hand-side and changing the sign to negative,

(p/q)(5/2) = -2/3 -7/12 = -(2/3 + 7/12) =- (2 x 4 + 7)/12 (Taking L.C.M.)

Or, (p/q)(5/2) = -(8+7)/12 = - 15/12

Multiplying both sides by 2/5,

(p/q)(5/2) x (2/5) = -15/12 . 2/5 = -(3x5)/(3x4) . 2/5 =- 5/4 .2/5

Since 2/5 is the multiplicative inverse of 5/2, 5/2 x 2/5 = 1 and we obtain

(p/q).1 = -1/4 . 2/1 = -1/2

⇒ p/q = -1/2 which is a negative rational number in which p = 1 and q = 2 ≠ 0 .

∴ the rational number = -1/2
