Answer:

Length = 20 cm

Width = 7 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :-

  • The perimeter of a rectangle is 54 cm.
  • Its length and width if the length is represented by 3x + 2 and the width is represented by 2x – 5.

To find :-

Find the measures of length and width

Solution :-

  • To calculate the measures of length and width of rectangle . we gave given in question that perimeter of rectangle is 54 cm and length is represented by 3x + 2 and width is represented by 2x-5.

Using Formula :-

Perimeter of rectangle = 2 ( l + b )

Where,

  • l is the length and w is the width of rectangle.
  • Perimeter = 54 cm

Substitute the values

54 cm = 2 ( 3x + 2 + 2x - 5 )

Combine like terms

54 cm = 2 ( 3 x + 2 x + 2 - 5)

54 cm = 2 ( 5 x -3)

Simplify both sides of the equation.

54 = 2( 5x− 3 )

54 = (2)(5x) + (2)(−3). .. ( Distribute )

54 = 10x +−6

54 = 10x −6

Flip the equation.

10x −6 = 54

Add 6 to both sides.

10x −6 + 6 = 54 + 6

10x = 60

Divide both sides by 10.

10x / 10 = 60 / 10

x = 6

Therefore ,

Length = 3x + 2 =3 ×6 + 2 = 18 + 2 = 20 cm

Width = 2x- 5 = 2 × 6 - 5 = 12 - 5 = 7 cm

Answer:

length = 20

width = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of a rectangle is

P = 2(l+w)

54 = 2( 3x+2 + 2x-5)

Combine like terms

54 = 2( 5x -3)

Divide each side by 2

54/2 = 5x-3

27 = 5x-3

Add 3 to each side

27+3 = 5x-3+3

30 = 5x

Divide by 5

30/5 = 5x/5

6 =x

3x+2 = 3(6)+2 = 18+2 = 20

2x-5 = 2(6)-2 =12-5 =7

Is 1/3 bigger than 1/2
daser333 [38]
No, 1/2 is bigger than 1/3 because:-

1/2 = 3/6
1/3 = 2/6

Compare

3/6 is larger, which means 1/2 is larger since they both equal each other. 

Answer: 1/2 is greater than 1/3

Sati [7]
So, he runs 1.5 then adds 0.5 every day,
1.5
(1.5+0.5)+1.5=x
(2.0+0.5)+x=z
2.5+0.5+z=y
etc.
Why, they want to know the total distance he runs, so thats why you add x,y,z to the end, and you add 2.0+0.5 because he adds 0.5 every dat Plus the other day's miles jogged

Help please. I don't know what a vector is in this context
ale4655 [162]

Answer: The vector relies on how the objects of where the magnitude and directions should lay on.

Step-by-step explanation:

So, I’ll help you with these 4 problems. So, for the vector 2/4, it would 2 units up and 4 units to the right. The second would be 5 units down and 6 units to the right. The third one would be 3 units up and 1 unit to the left. The last one would be 10 units downs and 12 units to the left. A simplified way of thinking of this is to just look at the signs of the number and see where the vector’s magnitude and directions would go in that point of view when you visual the graph or count it in your head.
