Starting from what I know (the difference between ribbons), I decided to go from the bottom and work my way up. I then noticed a pattern (each sum was three more of the previous one), and decided to keep my pattern of the three numbers but not have to do any major mental work and instead add three to the previous sum until I got to 38.
Answer:
Length = 27 metres
Width = 9 metres
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider the width to be x.
Then the length will be 3x.
The perimeter is 66m when the width is increased by 1m and the length is decreased by 4m.
So the dimensions will become:
Length=3x-4
Width=x+1
Now solve for the variable x using the formula for perimeter of a rectangle:
P = 2(l+b)
66 = 2(3x-4+x+1) (Divide both sides by 2 and simplify the parentheses)
33 = 4x-3 (Add 3 to both sides)
36 = 4x (Divide both sides by 4)
x = 9
Now plug-in the value of x into the original dimensions which were:
Length=3x
Width=x
So the dimensions are:
Length = 27 metres
Width = 9 metres
Answer:
0.00007935
Step-by-step explanation:
7.935 x 10 to negative 5 power can be written as:
7.935 x 10^(-5)
A trick to finding 10 to the x power, x is the number of 0's. So 10^5 = 100000

When dividing by tens, move the decimal to the left by the amount of 0's
So our answer is 0.00007935
