$p = 2l + 2w$
P=Perimeter
L=Length
W=Width

Hints given are P= 76, L=20 so 2L=40

76=40+2w
76-40=2w
36=2w
18=w

The formula of a perimeter of a rectangle:

P = 2(w + l)

We have P = 76 cm and l = 20 cm.

Substitute:

2(w + 20) = 76 use distributive property

(2)(w) + (2)(20) = 76

2w + 40 = 76 subtract 40 from both sides

2w = 36 divide both sies by 2

w = 18

<h3>Answer: the width = 18 cm</h3>

Addie walked 2 1/2 miles in 45 minutes. Suzie covered 2 2/5 miles in 2/3 of an hour.

N76 [4]

Answer:

Suzie's speed was 3.6 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The speed is equal to divide the distance by the time

Let

s ----> the speed in mph (miles per hour)

x ----> the distance in miles

y ----> the time in hours

$s=\frac{x}{y}$

Find Suzie's speed

we have

$x=2\frac{2}{5}\ mi$

$y=\frac{2}{3}\ h$

substitute

$s=2\frac{2}{5}:\frac{2}{3}$

Convert mixed number to an improper fraction

$2\frac{2}{5}=2+\frac{2}{5}=\frac{2*5+2}{5}=\frac{12}{5}$

substitute

$s=\frac{12}{5}:\frac{2}{3}=\frac{36}{10}=3.6\ mph$

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

2.38 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

From Given diagram:

In ΔABC,

AC=2.5 miles

BC= 3.7 miles

∠BCA= 39.4°

Now as we have two sides and an angle, using law of cosines to find the third side:

c= √(a^2+b^2-2abcosα

AB=√(AC)^2 + (BC)^2 - 2(AC)(BC)cosα

=√(2.5)^2 + (3.7)^2 - 2(2.5)(3.7)cos(39.4°)

=√(2.5)^2 + (3.7)^2 - 2(2.5)(3.7)(0.77)

=√(5.695)

= 2.38 !
