The perimeter of a rectangle is given by the following formula: P = 2W + 2L
To solve this formula for W, the goal is to isolate this variable to one side of the equation such that the width of the rectangle (W) can be solved when given its perimeter (P) and length (L).
P = 2W + 2L
subtract 2L from both sides of the equation
P - 2L = 2W + 2L - 2L
P - 2L = 2W
divide both sides of the equation by 2
(P - 2L)/2 = (2W)/2
(P - 2L)/2 = (2/2)W
(P - 2L)/2 = (1)W
(P - 2L)/2 = W
Thus, given that the perimeter (P) of a rectangle is defined by P = 2W + 2L ,
then its width (W) is given by <span>W = (P - 2L)/2</span>
It is not true because there C and E are on different sides, if that makes sense (which means your answer is correct)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Age 11 Age 12 Total
Girls 3 5 8
Boys 1 3 4
Required
The number of aged 12 children is:
The total number of children is:
So, we have:
Simplify
1.
<span>All three angles are equal and their sum is 180. </span>
<span>3 (3x-12) = 180 </span>
<span>9x -36 = 180 </span>
<span>9x = 180+36 </span>
<span>9x = 216 </span>
<span>x = 216/ 9 = 24 </span>
<span>2. </span>
<span>Area of an equilateral triangle = (sqrt(3)/4 ) s^2 = 270.633 </span>
<span>s^2 = 270.633 / [ sqrt(3) /4] </span>
<span>s^2 = (4)(270.633) / sqrt(3) </span>
<span>s^2 = 625 </span>
<span>s = 25 (side) </span>
<span>Follow the procedure in the link: we don't need the altitude. </span>
<span>r = 25/sqrt(3) =14.43
</span>
