Answer:

the length is 8ft

the width is 3ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given

perimter= 22ft

let the length be x

width = x-5

Step two

the expression for the perimeter of a rectangle is

P=2L+2W

substituting our data

22= 2(x)+2(x-5)

open brackets

22=2x+2x-10

collect terms and solve for x

22+10=4x

32=4x

divide both sides by 4

x= 32/4

x= 8ft

the length is 8ft

the width = x-5= 8-5= 3ft

Given that the two triangles are similar, solve for x if AU = 20x + 108, UB = 273, BC = 703, UV = 444, AV = 372 and AC = 589.
Damm [24]
The answer:
<span>the two triangles are similar
in addition, the line UV is parallel to line BC, so we can use the theorem of Thales for proving the following ratios:

AV /AC = AU/ AB= UV/ BC
372/589=20x +80  / AB = 444 / 703

</span>so we get    (372/589) AB - 80 =  20x, and x = ( (372/589) AB - 80  ) / 20

exact value of x depends on the value of AB

The sum of three consecutive multiples of 4 is 444. Find these multiples.
melamori03 [73]
First multiple of 4 is x = 144

Second multiple of 4 is x + 4 = 144 + 4 = 148

Third multiple of 4 is x + 8 = 144 + 8 = 152

In a class there are 40 students 30 are boys and what is the percentage of girls ....​
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Total= 40 students

boys +girls= 40

30 +girls= 40

number of girls

= 40 -30

= 10

Percentage of girls

=  \frac{10}{40}  \times 100\% \\ =  25\%

Alternatively,

percentage of girls

= 100% -(percentage of boys)

= 100\% - ( \frac{30}{40}  \times 100\%) \\  = 100\% - 75\% \\  = 25\%
