Answer:

Let the Width(W) = X cm

then the length(L)= (2+X)cm

Perimeter(P)= 60cm

P =L+W

L+W =P

(2+X)cm +X cm = 60 cm

2X+2=60

2X=60-2

2X=58

dividing both sides by 2

X=29cm

Width =X

Width =29cm

the width is 29cm

Length= (2+X)cm

= (2+29)cm

= 31cm

the length is 31cm

Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

Therefore you will have to wait 11 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the number of minutes between 5:00am and 8:37am

60 mins in an hour.

8-5=3 hours

60x3=180+37=217 minutes

Divide 217 by 12 to see how many bus stops have already been made

217/12=18

18*12=216

217-216=1 minute

12-1=11 minutes



Hope this helps!

Answer:

10m x 15m

Step-by-step explanation:

You are given some information.

1. The area of the garden: A₁ = 150m²

2. The area of the path: A₂ = 186m²

3. The width of the path: 3m

If the garden has width w and length l, the area of the garden is:

(1) A₁ = l * w

The area of the path is given by:

(2) A₂ = 3l + 3l + 3w + 3w + 4*3*3 = 6l + 6w + 36

Multiplying (2) with l gives:

(3) A₂l = 6l² + 6lw + 36l

Replacing l*w in (3) with A₁ from (1):

(4) A₂l = 6l² + 6A₁ + 36l

Combining:

(5) 6l² + (36 - A₂)l +6A₁ = 0

Simplifying:

(6) l² - 25l + 150 = 0

This equation can be factored:

(7) (l - 10)*(l - 15) = 0

Solving for l we get 2 solutions:

l₁ = 10, l₂ = 15

Using (1) to find w:

w₁ = 15, w₂ = 10

The two solutions are equivalent. The garden has dimensions 10m and 15m.
