Answer:
TRY 416in²
Step-by-step explanation:
front:
8×17=136÷2=68
same for the back
back = 68
side 1=
7×15=105
side 2=
8×7=56
bottom=
17×7=119
68+68+105+56+119=416
11/3 is bigger 1.27 because when you do 11/3 you get 3.66666666666666666667 which is clearly bigger than 1.27 so like I said 11/3 is bigger than 1.27.
The equations we get are
l = 6 + 2w (We get this from "The length of the rectangle is 6 more than 2 times the width.")
and
2l + 2w = 140 (We get this from the perimeter. Two times the length plus two times the width equals the perimeter of a quadrilateral.)
The first equation can be written as
l - 2w = 6
So now we have
2l + 2w = 140
l - 2w = 6
____________
Add the two equations.
We get 3l = 146
Divide by 3 on both sides.
l =
48
Your answer is
48
