Hi! I'm happy to help!
To solve this, we first need to look at the perimeter equation:
P=2L+2W
We don't know our length, so we can represent it with x. Since our width is 2 feet shorter than x, we can represent it with x-2. Now, we plug these values into our equation:
56=2x+(2(x-2))
Let's simplify what the width is by multiplying:
56=2x+2x-4
Now, let's combine our 2xs
56=4x-4
Now, we just need to solve for x in order to find our length and width.
First, we need to isolate x on one side of the equation. We can do this by adding 4 to both sides:
56=4x-4
+4 +4
60=4x
Now, all we have to do is divide both sides by 4 and x will be fully isolated:
60=4x
÷4 ÷4
15=x
Now that we know x, let's plug this into our previous equations:
L=x=15
<u>L=15</u>
W=x-2=15-2=13
<u>W=13</u>
To verify our answers, we can plug this into our perimeter equation:
56=2(15)+2(13)
56=30+36
56=56
After double checking our answers, we know that our length is 15 and our width is 13.
I hope this was helpful, keep learning! :D
Answer:
240 pounds.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that,
Shannon bought 518 pounds of apples.
Bill bought 278 pounds of apples.
We need to find how many more pounds of apples Shannon bought than Bill.
More Apples = Shannon Apples - Bill Apples
= 518 - 278
= 240
Hence, 240 pounds of apples Shannon bought than Bill.
Answer:
(0.18 x 23.50) + 23.50
Step-by-step explanation:
First, find the percentage of 23.50 (equation in the parenthesis). 18% is equivalent to 0.18. Then, you add that to 23.50. That's the total amount Sam should pay. I hope this makes sense.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
7) The formula for determining the area of a parallelogram is expressed as
Area = base × height.
Length of base = Area/height
Therefore,
Length of base = 7/2 = 3.5 feet
8) The formula for determining the area of a trapezoid is expressed as
Area = 1/2(a + b)h
Where
a and b are the length of the bases
h is the height. Therefore
21 = 1/2(2 + 4)h
21 = 3h
h = 21/3 = 7 inches
9) Area = base × height.
Height = Area/Length of base
Height = 28/14 = 2 inches
10) a and b are 10 inches each.
Area = 1/2(a + b)h
Therefore,
35 = 1/2(10 + 10)h
35 = 10h
h = 35/10
h = 3 inches
B
