The length of a rectangle is 10 meters more than the width. If the perimeter is 184 meters, what are the length and the width?

1 answer:

3 0

Perimeter = (2 × Length) + (2 × Width)

If the length is dependent on the width (because the length is 10 more than the width), we can say that L = W + 10.

To find the answer to the Peri, we have to find out what the W is first.

184 = 2(W + 10) + 2W
184 = 2W + 20 + 2W
184 = 4W + 20
184 - 20 = 4W = 164
164 ÷ 4 = W
41 = W

We have found out width. Our length is W + 10, so L = 41 + 10 = 51

W = 41 and L = 51

If a+b+c=0 for a,b,c then prove a²/bc+b²/ca+c²/ab=3.

Ierofanga [76]

According to the identity if a+b+c=0
then a3+b3+c3=3abc
a3+b3+c3/abc=3
a2*a/bc*a+b2*b/ca*b+c2*c/ab*c=3
cancel a,b,c in all the fraction then you get
<span>a²/bc+b²/ca+c²/ab=3.

The pair of values below is from a direct variation. Find the missing number.

NISA [10]

Answer:

The answer is 2.

2 since 6/4=3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Since your relation is a direct variation then the points on your line are of the form y=kx where k is the constant of variation (also called constant of proportionality)

If y=kx then y/x=k.

So all the points in this relation since it is a direct variation will be equal to y-coordinate/x-coordinate.

So we are going to solve this proportion:

$\frac{6}{4}=\farc{3}{x}$
