Answer:

The correct answer is = p = 15 and q = 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Perimeter of rectangle = 42 cm

p - q = 9 cm

length = p

width = q

we know:

Perimeter of rectangle= 2(l+w)

solution:

42 = 2(P+q)

21= p+q

Difference of p and q = 9 cm.

Then, P+q=21 .... 1

P-q=9 ....2

Adding both 1 and 2

2P = 30

P= 15cm and

q = 15-9

= 6cm

Adding the two equations
3x + 6y + 3x - 6y = 36+0
6x = 36
x = 6
.
subtracting second equation from first
(3x + 6y ) - (3x-6y) =36 -0
12y = 36
y = 3
.
therefore
x = 6 and y = 3
(6,3)

White and black shapes are used in a game Some of the shapes are circles All the other shapes are squares The ratio of white to

PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

The fraction of all shapes which are square in shape is $\frac{23}{32}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that , in a game , white and black shapes are used. Some of them are circle in shape and remains are square in shape.

The ratio of white to black shapes are 5:11.

Consider 5x= the number of shapes which are white in color.

11x= The number of shapes which are black in color.

There are (5x+11x)= 16x shapes in the game.

The white circle and white square are in the ratio 3:7.

The number of white square is

$=(\textrm{The number of white shape})\times (\frac{7}{3+7})$

$=(5x)\times (\frac{7}{10})$

$=\frac{7x}{2}$

The black circles and black square are in the ratio 3:8

The number of black square is

$=(\textrm{The number of black shape})\times (\frac{8}{3+8})$

$=(11x)\times (\frac{8}{11})$

=8x

Therefore the total number of shape which are square is

$=\frac{7x}{2}+8x$

$=\frac{7x+16x}{2}$

$=\frac{23x}{2}$

The fraction of all shape are square is

$=\frac{\textrm{shape in square}}{\textrm{Total number shape}}$

$=\frac{\frac{23x}{2}}{16x}$

$=\frac{23}{32}$

Because the two angles add up to equal 90, you would make an equation set to equal 90. On the other end you add the measures of your angles together because they are adding up to equal 90. This would look like 2x+5+35=90 and you solve from here. Add like terms making it 2x+40=90 then you subtract 40 from both sides making it 2x=50 and then divide by 2 on both sides which leaves you with x=25.
