<span>Let us use the variable x for length. So width will be 1/2x + 3.
Perimeter = x+x+ 1/2x + 3 +1/2x + 3 = 3x + 6 = 66
Therefore 3x = 66-6 = 60
So x = 60/3 = 20
The length is 20 cm.
Therefore the width = 1/2 of 20 + 3 = 10 + 3 = 13 cm
Check: 20+20+13+13 = 66</span>
This is called the Pythagorean theorem : a ² + b ² = c ². You can substitute any of the variable with any of the known numbers and then you all you have to do is isolate the variable. I hope that helps!!
20 with a number minus what will equal 9. ^_^
Answer:
r(A + B) = rA + rB,. (4). (r + s)A = rA + sA,. (5) r(sA)=(rs)A;. (6). A(BC)=(AB)C,.
