The length of the rectangle is 51 inches while the width of the rectangle is 28 inches.

Since Kristin wants to wrap a ribbon around the perimeter of a rectangle, the perimeter of a rectangle P = 2(L + W) where L = length of rectangle and W = width of rectangle.

Given that the perimeter of the rectangle, P = 56 inches and the length of the rectangle, L is five less than twice the width of the rectangle, W we have that

L = 2W - 5

Substituting L into P, we have

P = 2(2W - 5 + W)

P = 2(W - 5)

Since P = 56, we have

2(W - 5) = 56

~Dividing both sides by 2, we have

W - 5 = 56/2

W - 5 = 23

Adding 5 to both sides, we have

W = 23 + 5

W = 28 inches

Substituting W into L, we have

L = 2W - 5

L = 2(28) - 5

L = 56 - 5

L = 51 inches

So, the length of the rectangle is 51 inches while the width of the rectangle is 28 inches.

What is the area of the logo?​
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

the \: area \: of \: the \: logo \: is \:  {91cm}^{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the area of the logo you have to calculate the area of the triangle and the square that comform it and then add the four areas.

Area of the square.

To calculate the area of the square you have to calculate the square of one of its sides, following the formula:

a =  {a}^{2}

Where "a" is the length of one of its side.

The side length of the square is a=7cm, so its area will be:

asquare =  {7}^{2}  \\ asquare =  {49cm}^{2}

Area of the triangles.

The three triangles are equal, they have a base equal to the side of the square, i.e. with a length of 7cm, and their height is h=4cm.

To calculate the area of one triangle, you have to multiply its base by its height and divide by 2, following the formula:

a =  \frac{b.h}{2}  \\  a =  \frac{7.4}{2}  \\ a =  \frac{28}{2}  \\ a =  {14cm}^{2}

The area calculated the correspond to one triangle, since all triangles are congruent, you have to multiply the said area by 3 to determine the area of three figures:

atriangles = 3a \\ atriangles =  {42cm}^{2}

Now that the area of all shape are calculated, you have to add them to determine the area of the logo:

alogo = asquare + atriangle \\ alogo = 49 + 42 \\ alogo =  {91cm}^{2}

Find the area of the trapezoid below.
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer: 54 cm²

Step-by-step explanation: In this problem, we're asked to find the area of the trapezoid shown. A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with one pair of parallel sides.

The formula for the area of a trapezoid is shown below.

Area =\frac{1}{2} (^{b} 1 + ^{b}2)h

The <em>b's</em> represent the bases which are the parallel sides and <em>h</em> is the height.

So in the trapezoid shown, the bases are 6 cm and 12 cm and the height is 6 cm. Plugging this information into the formula, we have \frac{1}{2} (6 cm +12cm)(6 cm).

Next, the order of operations tell us that we must simplify inside the parentheses first. 6 cm + 12 cm is 18 cm and we have \frac{1}{2}(18 cm)(6 cm).

\frac{1}{2} (18 cm) is 9 cm and we have 9 cm · 6 cm of 54 cm²

So the area of the trapezoid shown is 54 cm².

A group of 2 adults and 4 children spent $38 on tickets to a museum. A group of 3 adults and 3 children spent $40.50 on tickets
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

Divide the 1st equation by 2

a + 2c = 19

Divide the 2nd equation by 3

a + c = 13.5

Subtract the 1st equation and the 2nd equation

c = 5.5

Substituting back into the 2nd equation will give:

a + 5.5 = 13.5

a = 8
