Answer:X unknown cu. of flour/ 5 dozen cookies
Study all notes, reread the chapters again. Have someone ask questions on the chapters page by page. This always has worked for me. Plus try to do this again the night before the test. You will be surprised how much you can remember by doing it again the night before the test. Hope this helps.
<h3><u>Given</u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h3>
- Perimeter of parallelogram = 66 ft
<h3><u>To</u><u> </u><u>find</u><u> </u><u>out</u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h3>
Find the longest side of a parallelogram.
<h3><u>Formula</u><u> </u><u>used</u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h3>
Perimeter of parallelogram = 2 ( a + b )
<h3>
<u>Solution:-</u><u> </u></h3>
We know that,
Perimeter of parallelogram = 2 ( a + b )
★ Substituting the values in the above formula,we get:
⇒ 66 = 2 ( 3x + 1 + 2x - 3 )
⇒ 66 = 2 ( 5x - 2 )
⇒ 66/2 = 5x - 2
⇒ 33 = 5x - 2
⇒ 5x - 2 = 33
⇒ 5x = 33 + 2
⇒ 5x = 35
⇒ x = 35/5
⇒ x = 7 ft
Now,
One side,a = 3x + 1
★ Putting the value of x
⇒ 3 × 7 + 1
⇒ 21 + 1
⇒ 22 ft
Other side,b = 2x - 3
★ Putting the value of x
⇒ 2 × 7 - 3
⇒ 14 - 3
⇒ 11 ft
Hence,the longest Side of given parallelogram is 22 ft ( 3x + 1 ) .
