It gives the perimeter of 14 mm and if it is 3 mm tall, times that by 2 to get 6 for the total of both side then subtract 6 from 14 and you get 8 and then divide that by 2
Answer is 4 mm wide for the two sides
4a + 3 - 9 = -7 + 2 + a
4a - 6 = -5 + a
4a - a = -5 + 6
3a = 1 / : 3
a = 1/3
Add 7 to both sides
3x + 12 = 7x
Subtract 3x
12 = 4x
Divide by 4
x = 3
Complete Question
Riya is applying to her garden. She applies it at a rate of 25, 000 cm³ of mulch for every m² of garden space. At what rate is Riya applying mulch in m³/m²
Answer:
0.25m³/m²
Step-by-step explanation:
We are told the Riya sprays mulch at 250,000cm³ per m²
To find the rate at which Riya is spaying the mulch in m³/m² we would have to convert 250,00cm³/m² to m³/m²
1 cm³ = 1 × 10^-6m³
250,000 cm³ = x m³
Cross Multiply
1 cm³ × xm³ = 250,000cm³ × 1 × 10^-6 m³
X
x m³ = 250,000cm³ × 1 × 10^-6 m³/1 cm³
= 0.25m³
Therefore, the rate at which Riya is spraying the mulch = 0.25m³/m²
