Answer:

24″ width, 12″ length. Let the length be X inches, then width is 2X inches, giving perimeter 2(X+2X)=6X inches, which is 72″. hence X, length =12″, and width 24″. The perimeter of a rectangle is 64 m.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

72 divided by four because its perimeter and you get 18 on each side since the width is double then you would do 18x2 and get 36.

4x² = 32 What does x equal

So here is what you would do:

lets just pretend that there is no x in the equation

so this is what the equation would look like:

first, is 4 to the power of 2=16 and now we are going to put the x back into the equation so: 4x to the power of 2, but we did the exponents so, now x is the missing number. We can use the 32 because it is the solution to the equation. So we would do 32-16=16 so the missing number is 16 so x=16

Answer: x=16

When you have a scale factor as percentage, is better to convert that percentage into a fraction by divide it by 100%. That way, it will be much easier to scale your figures.

1. The scale factor we need to apply to our rectangle is 60%. Firts, lets convert our scale factor into a fraction: $\frac{60}{100} = \frac{3}{5}$ . Next, we just need to multiply each side of our rectangle by our fraction:
length= $16( \frac{3}{5})=9.6$
width= $8( \frac{3}{5} )=4.8$
So, our new rectangle will have a length of 9.6 units and a width of 4.8 units.

2. This time the scale factor is 120%. Just as before, lets convert it into a fraction: $\frac{120}{100} = \frac{6}{5}$ , and just as before lets multiply each side of our triangle by our fraction:
base= $10( \frac{6}{5} )=12$
side= $8( \frac{6}{5} )=9.6$
So, our new isosceles triangle will have a base of 12 units and tow sides of length 9.6 units each.

3. This time the scale factor is 150%. Just as before, lets convert it into a fraction: $\frac{150}{100} = \frac{3}{2}$ , and just as before lets multiply each side of our polygon by our fraction:
$12( \frac{3}{2} )=18$
$15( \frac{3}{2} )=22.5$
$13( \frac{3}{2} )=19.5$
So, our new polygon will have a side of 12 length units, tow sides of 15 length units, and two side of 15 length units.

4. This time our factor is 75%. Just as before, lets convert it into a fraction: $\frac{75}{100} = \frac{3}{4}$ , and just as before lets multiply each side of our parallelogram by our fraction:
side= $25( \frac{3}{4} )=18.75$
So, our new parallelogram will have tow sides of length 18.75 units.
