Answer:

Number of ducks = 37

Number of pigs = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

x be the number of ducks

y be the number of pigs

According to given statement;

x+y=55     Eqn 1

2x+4y=146     Eqn 2 (As ducks will have 2 legs and pigs will have 4)

Multiplying Eqn 1 by 2

2(x+y=55)

2x+2y=110    Eqn 3

Subtracting Eqn 3 from Eqn 2

(2x+4y)-(2x+2y)=146-110

2x+4y-2x-2y=36

2y=36

Dividing both sides by 2

\frac{2y}{2}=\frac{36}{2}\\y=18

Putting y=18 in Eqn 1

x+18=55

x = 55-18

x = 37

Hence,

Number of ducks = 37

Number of pigs = 18

Answer: 5.196152423

Step-by-step explanation: Logically considering it's a Rhombus all the sides are equal to each other. So you just need to find the area. In this case you find the area by multiplying the sin of the given angle by the square root of the given side. So, 6²×sin (60)=6²×√3/2=31.17691454. After finding the area you then have to divide the area by it's base to find the height. So, 31.17691454 ÷ 6 = 5.196152423.

I didn't round any of the numbers. Hopefully this is correct.

Sorry about the messy diagrams (never been good at creating them) and how long it took.

Please can someone help me?

If the perimeters are equal, you can form an equation to find x:
x + x + 12 + x + x + 12 = x + 11 + x + 11 + x + 16
4x + 24 = 3x + 38
- 3x
x + 24 = 38
- 24
x = 14
Now you can substitute the x value into the perimeter:
(4 × 14) + 24
56 + 24 = 80 cm

(3 × 14) + 38
42 + 38 = 80 cm

So the perimeter would be 80 cm.
I hope this helps!
