Answer:
0.3 ? I'm not sure sorry.
Answers:
- The lengths of sides PQ and RS are <u> 13 </u>
- The lengths of sides QR and SP are <u> </u><u>20 </u>
This is a 13 by 20 rectangle.
============================================================
Explanation:
Refer to the drawing below.
Let x be the length of side SP. Since we're dealing with a rectangle, the opposite side is the same length. Side QR is also x units long.
We're told that RS = SP - 7 which is the same as saying RS = x-7
We also know that PQ = x-7 as well because PQ is opposite side RS.
In short, we have these four sides in terms of x
- PQ = x-7
- QR = x
- RS = x-7
- SP = x
as shown in the drawing. The four sides add up to the perimeter of 66.
PQ+QR+RS+SP = perimeter
PQ+QR+RS+SP = 66
(x-7)+x+(x-7)+x = 66
4x-14 = 66
4x = 66+14
4x = 80
x = 80/4
x = 20
Use this x value to find the unknown side lengths.
- PQ = x-7 = 20-7 = 13
- QR = x = 20
- RS = x-7 = 20-7 = 13
- SP = x = 20
In short, this is a 13 by 20 rectangle.
-----------------
Check:
perimeter = side1+side2+side3+side4
perimeter = PQ+QR+RS+SP
perimeter = 13+20+13+20
perimeter = 33+33
perimeter = 66
The answer is confirmed.
If the original angle is x degrees then its supplement is 180 - x degrees.
we have the equation:-
180 - x = 3x + 20
160 = 4x
x = 40
The original angle is 40 degrees and its supplement is 140 degrees
<span>Given
situation
=> A piece of string is said to have a measurement of 25 and ½ inches long.
=> It will be cut in ¾
Question: How many pieces of string will there be?
Solutions:
=> 25 and ½ = 25. 50 inches long
=> ¾ = .75 inches long
Let’s start the division to get the answer that we need:
=> 25.5 / .75
=> 34, thus there will be 34 pieces of cut string which measures 0.75 inches
long.</span>
