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

Help<br> Find the volume of this cone.<br> Use 3 for TT.

natima [27]

Answer:

$180ft^{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of a cone:

$V=\pi r^{2} \frac{h}{3}$

Take $\pi$ as 3, as mentioned in the question

'r' is 'radius' ⇒ {diameter is given so divide by 2: 12/2 = 6}

'h' is 'height'

$V=(3)(6)^{2} (\frac{5}{3} )$

$V=(3)(36)(\frac{5}{3} )$

$V=108(\frac{5}{3} )$

{multiply 108 with 5 and then divide the answer by 3}

$V=108$ × $5$

$V=540$

$V=540/3$

$V=180ft^{3}$
