Answer: 1 and 3
Step-by-step explanation:
The perimeter p of the rectangle with length l and width w is:
p = 2l + 2w
that is, two times its length and two times its width, lets solve for the width w and substitute known data:
<span>p = 2l + 2w
</span>2w = p - 2l
w = (<span>p - 2l</span>)/2
w = (56 - (2*12))/2
w = (56 - 24)/2
w = 32/2
w = 16
therefore the width of the rectangle is 16 in
Answer:
2(3(8))+2(8)=64
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, w represents the width of the rectangle,
∵ length of the rectangle is 3 times the width of the rectangle,
So, length = 3w,
Since, the perimeter of a rectangle, P = 2(length + width)
= 2(w + 3w)
= 2w + 2(3w)
If P = 64 feet,
⇒ 2w +2(3w) = 64
⇒ 2w + 6w = 64
⇒ 8w = 64
⇒ w = 8
Verification :
P = 2(8) + 2((3(8)) = 16 + 48 = 64 feet
Hence, the first step that should be taken to verify that the width of the rectangle is 8 is 2(3(8))+2(8)=64
Note : a solution obtain from an equation is verified by substituting the value in the equation.
Start by adding together the shortest two sides, 7 and 8.7 inches. Result: 15.7 inches. Because this sum is greater than the longest side, 15.4 inches, it's possible to construct a triangle, whose largest angle will be close to 180 degrees.
3 4/5 + (3 4/5 - 1/2) =
19/5 + (19/5 - 1/2) =
19/5 + (38/10 - 5/10) =
19/5 + 33/10 =
38/10 + 33/10 =
71/10 which equals 7 1/10 tons <==
