Answer:

P= 2*Lenght + 2*Width

Since the perimeter is 56 inches we can solve for the lenght with this equation:

56 in = 2*12in + 2*Length

And solving for the length we got:

Length = \frac{56in -24 in}{2} 16 in

So then the lenght = 16 inhes and the width of 12 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

For a rectangle of width 12 inches and lenght y inches we know that the perimeter is given by:

P= 2*Lenght + 2*Width

Since the perimeter is 56 inches we can solve for the lenght with this equation:

56 in = 2*12in + 2*Length

And solving for the length we got:

Length = \frac{56in -24 in}{2} 16 in

So then the lenght = 16 inhes and the width of 12 inches

Find the value of x.
hjlf

Answer:

x = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Since they are similar triangles, their sides are proportional

12 : 15  :: 8 : x - 4

Product of extremes = Product of means

12 × ( x- 4 ) = 15 × 8

12x -48 = 120

12x = 120 + 48

12x = 168

x = 168/12

x = 14

Name the property of equality that justifies the statement: if p=q, then q=p
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer : - Symmetric property of equality tells that for all real numbers p and q, if p=q then q=p which means if we interchange the sides of an equation then the equation is still a true statement .

For example :-

1. We know that 4+5 =9 then by symmetric property we can also say that 9=4+5.

2. If 5x+5=7 then by symmetric property of inequality 7=5x+5.
