Answer:
x = 29
Step-by-step explanation:
All triangle angles add up to 180 so:
x + 17 + 2x + 5 + 3x - 16 = 180
6x + 6 = 180
6x = 180 - 6
6x = 174
x = 29
Note: I am not 100% sure that this is the correct way to solve this problem. It is just my best attempt to help.
Keep in mind that every percentage can be made into a decimal. 12% = 0.12 because 12% is also 12/100 as a fraction.
Since a percentage is the original number multiplied by the percent, you can solve this problem by dividing the number given by the percent. Be sure to turn the percent into a decimal to make it easier. Your work should look like this:
12% = 0.12
1,000 / 0.12 = 8,333.33
That is the first step. How you have to finish the problem and find what 88% is. To do this, you can simply multiply 88%, or 0.88, times the answer you get in the first part. Your work should look like this:
88% = 0.88
0.88 * 8,333.33 = 7,333.33
Now to check your work, you can add 7,333.33 and 1,000 to see if it equal the total of 8,333.33
7,333.33 + 1,000 = 8,333.3
Since it is equal, this is your answer.
814,180. Hope I helped. If i didn't I am sos sorry. I would take 7.9 or .079 to 754,844 to get your number.
Since Perimeter is Length+ Width, and there are "two lengths" and "two widths", the formula needed here is p=2l+2w. We have the P, so using that, along with knowing that l is 41ft longer than w;
p = 278 , l = w+41
278 = 2l + 2w
278 = 2(w+41) + 2w
We'll use the DISTRIBUTIVE PROPERTY first: 278 = 2w + 82 + 2w
Then we'll COMBINE LIKE TERMS: 278 = 4w + 82
Next we'll subtract 82 from both sides: 196 = 4w
And finally divide both sides by 4:
49 = w
Since the length is w+41 and we now know the width, we can see what the length is: l = w+41 , l = 49 + 41 , l = 90.
Now that we know the length, we can see what the dimensions of the court are:
Perimeter is 278ft
Width is 49ft
And the Length is 90ft.
