<h3>Answer: 2x+10 inches</h3>

Explanation:

There are 2 opposite sides that are x inches long, so they add to x+x = 2x

Then there are 2 opposite sides that are 5 inches long, which add to 5+5 = 10

Overall, the four sides add to 2x+10 inches

You could also apply the formula below

P = 2L+2W

P = 2x+2*5

P = 2x+10

That formula is the same as P = 2(L+W)

the base of a ten foot ladder stands six feet from a house. How many feet up the house does the ladder reach

Ludmilka [50]

In this problem you will need to use the Pythagorean theorem (c^2=a^2+b^2).
The a and b represents the two edges, while c is the diagonal side and it is called the hypotenuse. Since you already know what the hypotenuse is and what one of the sides already are you just have to use the problem: c^2-a^2=b^2. Then if you plug the data you already have into the problem you will get 10^2-6^2=b^2. That then equals 100-36=b^2. Then you subtract and get b^2=64. Then you square root both sides and you get the answer b=8.

If total employee benefits are calculated as a percentage of their gross pay, which of the following employees receives the larg

vlabodo [156]

Consider all employees.

gross pay $32,600 - 100%,
total job benefits $33,600 - x%.

Then

$\dfrac{32,600}{33,600}=\dfrac{100}{x},\\ \\32,600\cdot x=33,600\cdot 100,\\ \\x=\dfrac{33,600\cdot 100}{32,600}=\dfrac{33,600}{326} \approx 103.07.$

Employee A receives 3.07% of gross pay in employee benefits.

gross pay $32,900 - 100%,
total job benefits $34,000 - x%.

Then

$\dfrac{32,900}{34,000}=\dfrac{100}{x},\\ \\32,900\cdot x=34,000\cdot 100,\\ \\x=\dfrac{34,000\cdot 100}{32,900}=\dfrac{34,000}{329} \approx 103.34.$

Employee B receives 3.34% of gross pay in employee benefits.

gross pay $33,400 - 100%,
total job benefits $33,900 - x%.

Then

$\dfrac{33,400}{33,900}=\dfrac{100}{x},\\ \\33,400\cdot x=33,900\cdot 100,\\ \\x=\dfrac{33,900\cdot 100}{33,400}=\dfrac{33,900}{334} \approx 101.50.$

Employee C receives 1.50% of gross pay in employee benefits.

gross pay $33,700 - 100%,
total job benefits $34,700 - x%.

Then

$\dfrac{33,700}{34,700}=\dfrac{100}{x},\\ \\33,700\cdot x=34,700\cdot 100,\\ \\x=\dfrac{34,700\cdot 100}{33,700}=\dfrac{34,700}{337} \approx 102.97.$

Employee D receives 2.97% of gross pay in employee benefits.

Answer: correct choice is B.
