Answer:

Length = 24 and width = 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

2L + 2W = 60 where L = length and W = width.

The length must be in the 20's to make a perimeter of 60, as there's no number in the 10's or 30's that has 2 consecutive even integers and 40 something is impossible.

The only length which fits the given conditions is 24.

Then the width would be (60 - 2(24)) / 2 = (60 - 48) / 2

= 6.

That's the answer.

Joshua used two wood beams, PC and QA, to support the roof of a model house.

Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

$\boxed{\boxed{PQ=3.6\ in}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

As it is given as ΔQRP and ΔARC are similar, so the ratio of their corresponding sides will be same.

So,

$\dfrac{RC}{PR}=\dfrac{AC}{PQ}$

It is given as,

RC = 3.3

PR = 1.8

AC = 6.6

PQ = ??

Putting the values,

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{3.3}{1.8}=\dfrac{6.6}{PQ}$

$\Rightarrow PQ=\dfrac{6.6\times 1.8}{3.3}=3.6$

June, Gavyn and Alex share some sweets in the ratio 5:5:3. June gets 22 more sweets than Alex. How many sweets are there altoget

Masteriza [31]

Answer:

Let June's sweets be 5x.

Then Gavyn's sweets will be 5x.

And Alex's sweets will be 3x.

5x = 3x + 22

2x = 22

x = 11

So June has 5 x 11 = 55 sweets

Gavyn has 5 x 11 = 55 sweets

And Alex have 3 x 11 = 33 sweets

Total

= 55 + 55 + 33

= 143 sweets
