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

Nady [450]
X would have to be less than 12, y would have to be less than 6. So a graph displaying x less than or equal to 12 and y less than or equal to 6.

Origin is the corner of square whose one side is 3 X + 4 Y + 5 = 0 find its area.
cricket20 [7]

Answer:

The correct option is;

a. 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the origin (0, 0) is the corner of the square

The equation of one of the sides = 3·X + 4·Y + 5 = 0

Therefore, we have;

Y = -3/4·X - 5/4

Which gives the slope as -3/4 and the y-intercept as (0, -5/4)

The sloe of the perpendicular side from the origin to the given line is therefore = -(1/(3/4)) = 4/3

The y-intercept of the current particular perpendicular side = 0

The equation is therefore;

y = 4/3·x + 0

The coordinate of the point of intersection of the two sides of the square above is found by equating the two lines to each other as follows;

4/3·x = -3/4·X - 5/4

4/3·x + 3/4·X = -5/4

25/12·X = -5/4

X = -5/4×12/25 = -3/5

Y = 4/3·x = 4/3× (-3/5) =-4/5

The length of a side = √((-3, 5) - 0)² + ((-4, 5) - 0)² = √1 = 1

The area of a square = (Length of side) × (Length of side)

∴ The area of the square = 1 × 1 = 1

The area of the square  = 1.

Could use some help please
Helen [10]

Answer:

Area of Square= 12*12= 144

Area of Circle= πr2

Radius= 12/2= 6

Area of Circle= 3.14*6*6 =113.04

Area of shaded region= 144- 113.04 = 30.96 = 31.0 (1 dp)

Two three-digit numbers are made up of six different digits. The first digit of the second number is twice as big as the last di
topjm [15]

Answer:the smallest possible sum of the two numbers is 537

Step-by-step explanation:

Two three-digit numbers are made up of six different digits.

To interpret this, let the two three digit numbers be;

ABC and. DEF

The first digit of the second number is twice as big as the last digit of the first number.

Interpret;

D=2C

The first digit of the first number can be 1, the second digit 0 and the third digit 2.

102.

For the second number:

D=2C

The first digit is 4, second digit 3 and last digit 5 since no repetition of digits

435.

Answer:the smallest possible sum of the two numbers is

102+435= 537
