Answer:
15/4 and 45/4
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x and y be the numbers
x = 3y
x+ y = 15
Substitute the first equation in to the second equation
3y+y = 15
4y = 15
y = 15/4
x = 3(15/4)
x = 45/4
The two numbers are 15/4 and 45/4
I'll do part (a) to get you started.
The angle 'a' pairs up with the 123 degree angle as a corresponding angle pair. Due to the parallel lines, the corresponding angles are congruent. Therefore a = 123.
We also see that b = 123 as well since a = b (they are vertical angles).
Notice how angle c is adjacent to the 123 degree angle. These two angles form a straight line, so they must add to 180 degrees.
c+123 = 180
c = 180-123
c = 57
-------------------------
To summarize, we have these three angles
a = 123
b = 123
c = 57
Answer:
2 x 7
Step-by-step explanation:
a * b = 14
2a + 2b = 18
(a * b)/b = 14/b Dividing both sides by b
a = 14/b
Substitute a in the perimeter equation
2(14/b) + 2b = 18
28/b + 2b = 18
2b - 18 + 28/b = 0
Multiply both sides by b
2b^2 - 18b + 28 = 0
Divide both sides by two
b^2 - 9b + 14 = 0
The Factors of 14 include -2 and -7 which add up to -9
(b - 2) * (b - 7) = 0
This has two answers because b can be either the side that is 2 long or 7 long, so there's no need to go back and solve for a.
2 x 7
It is 12 sense the perimeter is the outside of the square you have to add the 2 numbers by themselves because they are the same measurement and 5+5=10 1+1=2 10+2=12
