Answer:

4cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

L=(2x+3)

W=(x-1)

P=28cm

A= L*W

A= (2x+3)*(x-1)

open bracket

A= 2x^2-2x+3x-3

collect like terms

A= 2x^2+x-3

P= 2L+2W

P= 2*(2x+3)+2(x-1)

P= 4x+6+2x-2

collect like terms

P= 6x-4

but p= 28

28= 6x-4

28-4= 6x

24= 6x

x= 24/6

x= 4cm

Hence x= 4cm

Answer:

26.4ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

I first converted the centimeter values to feet

140Cm x 30.48 = 4.59

70cm x 30.48 = 2.3

the paper required is approximately equal to the area of the pyramid.

area of pyramid is equal to area of triangle + base²

Are of triangle = 1/2 x b xh

= 4 x 1/2 x4.59x2.3 + (2.3)²

= 2 x 4.59 x 2.3 + 5.29

= 26.4 feet²

therefore it will take 26.4 feet² paper to make each tree, including the bottom.

29).  The 'six' is the same as (6 x 5) = 30 fifths.
So  six and three fifths = (30 + 3) fifths  =  thirty-three fifths.

30).  The 'eight' is the same as (8 x 6) = 48 sixths.
So  eight and five sixths = (48 + 5) fifths=  fifty-three sixths.

31).  Twenty-seven of the thirds are the same as  (27/9)  = 3 .
That leaves a remainder of 2 thirds.
So  twenty-nine thirds are the same as  3 and 2/3 .

32).  Thirty-two of the fourths are the same as  (32/4) = 8 .
That leaves a remainder of one fourth.
So  thirty-three fourths are the same as  4 and 1/4 .
