Answer:

15 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

If we have two sides of a parallelogram in the ratio 5:4, then the other two sides must also be in the same ratio.

If the perimeter is 54, we can create the following equation regarding the length of each side

$5x+4x+5x+4x=54\\\\18x=54\\\\x=3$

As our value for x is 3, and we know that the value for the larger side is 5x, we can simply plug in x to get the length of the larger side

$5x\\\\5(3)\\\\15$

tax on the original price of a bicycle is charged at 20% of the original price. After tax has been included, Mathew pays $1080 f

kicyunya [14]

Answer:

Original price of bicycle = $864

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Rate of tax = 20%

Price pay by Mathew = $1,080

Find:

Original price of bicycle

Computation:

Original price of bicycle = Price pay by Mathew[1 / (1-20%)]

Original price of bicycle = 1,080[1 / (1-20%)]

Original price of bicycle = 1,080[1 / (1-0.2)]

Original price of bicycle = 1,080[1 / (0.8)]

Original price of bicycle = 1,080[1.25]

Original price of bicycle = $864

Write an expression to describe the sequence below. Use n to represent the position of a term in the sequence, where n = 1 for t

inessss [21]

Step-by-step explanation:

$a_1=6\\a_2=a_1+1\to a_2=6+1=7\\a_3=a_2+1\to a_3=7+1=8\\a_4=a_3+1\to a_4=8+1=9\\\vdots\\\\\text{The recursive formula}\\a_n=\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}a_1=6\\a_n=a_{n-1}+1\end{array}\right\\\\\text{It's an arithmetic sequence with}\ a_1=6\ \text{and difference}\ d=1\\\\\text{The explicit formula of an arithmetic sequence:}\\\\a_n=a_1+(n-1)d\\\\\text{Substitute:}\\\\a_n=6+(n-1)(1)\\a_n=6+n-1\\a_n=5+n\\\\a_n=n+5$

A number n plus 7 is less than or equal to 9

devlian [24]

N ≤ 2, if n plus 7 is less than or equal to 9 (n+7 ≤ 9) then carry the 7 over to create n ≤ 9-7 giving the answer n ≤ 2 (n less than or equal to 2)

If A+B = 76 & A -B = 38 What is A/B?

Igoryamba

$A+B=76\\
A-B=38\ \ --->\ \ A=38+B\\\\
38+B+B=76\\
38+2B=76\ \ | subtract\ 38\\2B=38\ \ \ | divide\ by\ 2\\
B=19\\A=57\\\\
\frac{A}{B}=\frac{57}{19}=3$
