A rectangular sheet of paper has a perimeter of 60cm. When it is folded in half along its longer line of symmetry, the perimeter

of the rectangle which this creates is 49cm. What are the dimensions of the original shape?

Answer:

Dimensions of the original rectangle:

Length = 19 cm

Width = 11 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

Length = x

Width = y

Original rectangle:

2(Length + width) = 60

2x + 2y = 60

New rectangle has same length with original rectangle but half of the width of the original rectangle when folded

Length = x

Width = 1/2y

2(Length + 1/2width) = 49

2x + y = 49

2x + 2y = 60 (1)

2x + y = 49 (2)

Subtract (2) from (1) to eliminate x

2y - y = 60 - 49

y = 11

Substitute y = 11 into (2)

2x + y = 49

2x + 11 = 49

2x = 49 - 11

2x = 38

x = 38/2

x = 19

Dimensions of the original rectangle:

Length = 19 cm

Width = 11 cm

What is an equation of the line that passes through the point (2,−6) and is parallel to the line x−2y=8?
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

y = x/2 - 7

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to find the slope of the given equation: x - 2y = 8

Subtract x from both sides

x - 2y = 8

- x        - x

-2y = 8 - x

Divide both sides by -2

-2y/-2 = (8 - x)/-2

y = -4 + x/2

The slope of this equation is 1/2

So the equation of our parallel equation is y = x/2 + b

We have to find b, so plug in the given coordinates

-6 = 2/2 + b

-6 = 1 + b

Subtract 1 from both sides

-6 = 1 + b

- 1    - 1

b = -7

Plug it back into the original equation

y = x/2 - 7

CAN SOME ONE HELP ME ITS URGENT
aniked [119]

As we can observe from given information,

  • UT = ST

  • 2x + 5 = x + 12

  • 2x - x = 12 - 5

  • x = 7

now, let's solve for y

  • RU = RS

  • y - 4 = x + 5

  • y - 4 = 7 + 5

  • y = 12 + 4

  • y = 16

hope it helped...
