Answer:
- 2.25/3
Step-by-step explanation:
A=WL
P=2(L+W)
A=(x)(14-x)
W=x
L=14-x
P=2((14-x)+x)
P=2(14-x+x)
P=2(14+0)
P=2(14)
P=28
perimiter=24 units
Answers
D 36
Step-by-step explanation:
77 is the area for the squared trapezoid and 36 is the closest to 77
We want 4/5 of a number to be 144. This means that
Multiplying both sides by 5/4, we have
Let the base of the ladder be x ft and the extension be y ft.
"when fully extended, a ladder is 28 feet in length."
means: x+y=28
"<span>the extension is 4 feet shorter than the base</span>"
means: y=x-4, that is x-y = 4, (taking y to the side of x, and -4 to the other side of x and y)
thus, we have the system of equations:
1) x+y= 28
2) x-y=4
adding the 2 equations, we have:
(x+y)+(x-y)=28+4
2x=32
x=32/2=16
x+y=28, so 16+y=28, thus y=12
Answer: Base: 16, Extension 12
