1 ft = 12 inches. 6.5 ft = 78 inches.
I hope this helps!
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the perimeter of something, we add all of the measurements of the sides together.
A rectangle has 4 sides, this means we must double the algebraic hints given to us.
If we add them all up together it will look like this:
x-9+x-9+3x-4+3x-4=138
If we simplify it by collecting the like terms:
8x-26=138
We add 26 onto 138
8x=164
To find out what x equals, we divide by 8:
164÷8= 20.5
Answer:
x=20.5cm
x-9 is 11.5
3x-4 is 57.5
I know that you will not give 100 points but just wanted to help.
The answer is 0.79. I know it's the answer I am a genius in math.
The painter needs at least two gallons of paint to cover the wall.
To get this answer, you first need to find the area of the wall; by multiplying 20.5 x 16.4. This will get you 336.2.
Then, you need to divide 336.2 by 200. This will get you approx. 1.6.
If it's asking for partial gallons as well, stop here. Your answer is 1.6.
If not, continue.
Unless you're including partial gallons, you can't get 1.6 gallons of paint, so you need to round up. This will be 2 gallons.
