Answer:

The perimeter of a rectangle is the sum of both lengths and both widths, which is equal to 54 meters. Let's call Length L and Width W.

The question is saying this: L = 3 meters + 3(W). We have 2 variables, which means we need at least 2 equations to solve. So far we have one, our second equation is from the perimeter.

2 lengths + 2 Widths = 54. Now, it's just a plug and chug.

2(3 + 3W) + 2W = 54.

6 + 6W + 2W = 54

8W = 48

W=6

L = 3 + 3(6) = 21

To double check: 2(21) + 2(6) = 42 + 12 = 54

The Width is 6 meters, and the Length is 21 meters.

Please help me <br> can u explain how to do this
Ghella [55]

Answer:

x=41

Step-by-step explanation:

so since this is a right triangle you can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the missing side. the two sides you know are 'a' and 'b' and the missing side is 'c'. the theorem says that:

a^2+b^2=c^2

so:

9^2 +40^2=c^2

solve for the exponents:

81 +1600=c^2

1681=c^2

and now, since 1681 is the missing side's length squared, we must find the square root of 1681, which is 41

hope this helps :)

Answer:

C

15 + x

Step by step explanation

For Company X, the initial cost is 30 cents  plus 5 cents per minute, so the expression would be 30 + 5x (x would represent minutes.

For Company Y, the initial cost is 15 cents  plus 4 cents per minute, so the expression would be 15 + 4x (x would represent minutes.)

Then subtract the expression of Y from the expression of X to show the difference in value between Y and X.

So, 30 + 5x - (15 +4x)

Distribute the subtraction sign.

30 + 5x - 15 - 4x

Solve across.

15 + x

Help please<br><br> Geometry test
ahrayia [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

To find x,

21x - 9 = 117

21x = 126

x = 6

To find arc AB,

21(6) - 9 = 117

To find Arc AE,

117 + x = 180

x = 63

Arc ABC,

117 + 63 = 180

ACE

180 + 27 + 90 = 297
