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

Which of the following properties will most likely have the lowest
victus00 [196]

The correct answer is A: a steel building.

Explanation:

A steel building will have the lowest premiums out of all the choices given above. After reading several insurance companies policies, a steel building has premiums 30% lower than any other homeowner policy. Steel is harder to destroy in a fire and the damage would be less than a wood home, mixed composition, or even an all brick home.  

A wood home has the highest premiums out of all the choices given. When one catches on fire, they will burn fast and usually is a total loss unless the fire trucks get there in minutes.

A brick home can still be destroyed by fire on the inside even if the damage is minimal on the outside of the home.

A mixed composition home, will also be damaged by fire and could be a total loss unless fire trucks are there within minutes.
