Answer:
perimeter = 2(x + 5)
this is 2x + 10
x = 55 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
this question is a bit weird because they didn't put the units for 5, so I'm assuming it's in inches...
the perimeter of a rectangle will have two of each, so we can put the 2 outside the bracket since it applies to everything. We have x and we have 5 so put those in the bracket with a plus sign because you add when you're calculating the perimeter.
5 + 5 = 10
120 - 10 = 110 inches (this is 2x)
110 ÷ 2 = 55 inches
See attached. The trick is to use similar triangles.
What we know is that a 6 foot tall tent casts a 15 foot shadow. Lets represent that given this way: 6 = 15
So, the unknown (y), or what we want to know, is how tall the cardboard box if it has a 6 foot long shadow (noticeably the same height as the tent):
y = 6
6 = 15
y = 6
(6 x 6) / 15 = y
36 / 15 = y
2.4 = y
The height of the cardboard box is 2.4 feet.
Answer:
alicia is right
Step-by-step explanation:
if u divide 6 by 2 that would be 3 and then add 5 = 8. If you do the same with the next equation it still = 8 bc pemdas so divide first
