Let's call 'it' x. 1/2 is equal to one third of x, so we could say that 1/3x = 1/2
Now we just have a simple equation to solve:
1/3x = 1/2
x = (1/2) / (1/3)
Dividing by a rational number (such as 1/3, which is expressed in fraction form) is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal (the reciprocal of a fraction is itself when the numerator and denominator have been swapped). Therefore
x = (1/2) / (1/3) = (1/2) * 3 = 3/2 = 1.5
To check this answer, test the statement. Half is a third of x, where x=1.5:
1.5 / 3 = 0.5 = 1/2
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The area of the polygon is equal to the area of a square plus the area of four congruent triangles
so
![A=b^2+4[\frac{1}{2}(b)(h)]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=A%3Db%5E2%2B4%5B%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%28b%29%28h%29%5D)
where
substitute
![A=8^2+4[\frac{1}{2}(8)(4)]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=A%3D8%5E2%2B4%5B%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%288%29%284%29%5D)
Answer:
85 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
P=2L+2W where L is the length and W is the width. If the length is 50 feet longer than the width, we can write the expression L=50+W. Substituting into P=2L+2W we get P=2(50+W)+2W=100+2W+2W=100+4W. Since P=300, we can say 300=100+4W. Subtracting 100 from each side we get 200=4W. Dividing each side by 4 gives 50=W. Substituting this into L=50+W gives L=50+35=85. The length is 85 feet.
3 x 8 = 24
3 x -2 = -6
