Answer:

The dimensions of rectangle are:

Width = 16 inches

Length = 106 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of rectangle = 244 inches

Let Width of rectangle = w

Length of rectangle = w+90

We need to find the dimensions (length and width) of the carpet

The formula used will be: Perimeter=2(length+width)

Putting values and making equation:

244=2w+2(w+90)\\Solving:\\244=2w+2w+180\\244=4w+180\\Switching\:sides\\4w+180=244\\Subtracting\:180\:from\:both\:sides\\4w=244-180\\4w=64\\Dividing\:both\:sides\:by\:4\\\frac{4w}{4} =\frac{64}{4}\\w=16

So, we get w = 16

The width w = 16 inches

Now, finding length = w+ 90 = 16+90 = 106 inches

Therefore the dimensions of rectangle are:

Width = 16 inches

Length = 106 inches

Answer:

<em>Net price: $4972.50</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Percentages</u>

We know a ream of paper has a list price of $25.50. Custom Greetings placed an order for 300 of them. If they have purchased them at list price, the total price would have been

300*25.50=$7,650

But we also know there was a 35% trade discount, so the net price of their order is

$7,650-$7,650*35/100=$4972.50

Find the value of each measure.
zloy xaker [14]

The two congruent base angles tell us that this is an isosceles triangle, meaning the triangle has two congruent sides. Therefore, we can set these two expressions equal to each other and solve from there.

15x + 7 = 23x - 17

7 = 8x - 17

8x = 24

x = 3

Side = 15(3) + 7 = 45 + 7 = 52

Hope this helps!
