The perimeter is the total of adding all of the sides together. A rectangle has 2 lengths and 2 widths. The equation would be:
P = 2l + 2w or P = l + l + w + w
Since you know the perimeter, you can plug it into the equation
53 = 2l + 2w
You can divide the 2 on both sides
26.5 = l + w
l = w + 2.3 because the length is 2.3 meters longer/more than the width. You can substitute (w + 2.3) for "l" in the equation. So instead of:
26.5 = l + w
It will be:
26.5 = (w + 2.3) + w
26.5 = w + 2.3 + w
Subtract 2.3 on both sides
24.3 = w + w
24.3 = 2w
Divide 2 on both sides
12.1 = w
The width is 12.1 meters
Answer:
Is the answer B?
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer/Step-by-step explanation:
1. Side CD and side DG meet at endpoint D to form <4. Therefore, the sides of <4 are:
Side CD and side DG.
2. Vertex of <2 is the endpoint at which two sides meet to form <2.
Vertex of <2 is D.
3. Another name for <3 is <EDG
4. <5 is less than 90°. Therefore, <5 can be classified as an acute angle.
5. <CDE is less than 180° but greater than 90°. Therefore, <CDE is classified as an obtuse angle.
6. m<5 = 42°
m<1 = 117°
m<CDF = ?
m<5 + m<1 = m<CDF (angle addition postulate)
42° + 117° = m<CDF (Substitution)
159° = m<CDF
m<CDF = 159°
7. m<3 = 73°
m<FDE = ?
m<FDG = right angle = 90°
m<3 + m<FDE = m<FDG (Angle addition postulate)
73° + m<FDE = 90° (Substitution)
73° + m<FDE - 73° = 90° - 73°
m<FDE = 17°
Discrete and quantitative is also correct so that makes it discrete
Since m < 1 and m < 2 are complementary angles wherein the measure of their angles add up to 90°, we can establish the following equation:
m < 1 + m < 2 = 90°
x° + 48° + 2x° = 90°
Combine like terms:
48° + 3x° = 90°
Subtract 48° from both sides:
48° - 48° + 3x° = 90° - 48°
3x = 42°
Divide both sides by 3 to solve for x:
3x/3 = 42/3
x = 14°
Plug in the value of x into the equation to fins m< 1 and m < 2:
m < 1 + m < 2 = 90°
(14° + 48°) + 2(14)° = 90°
62° + 28° = 90°
90° = 90° (True statement)
Therefore:
m < 1 = 62°
m < 2 = 28°
