First, you could find the common denominator of the fractions, which is 6, and change all of them (the fractions) to sixths...giving you 1 2/6 + 3 3/6 + 1 2/6 + 3 3/6 which equals to 8 10/6 or 8 + 1 4/6 which is 9 2/3...OR you could simply add 3 1/2 + 3 1/2, giving you 7, and then add 1 1/3 + 1 1/3, giving you 2 2/3, add those two numbers together, 7 + 2 2/3 and your answer is still: 9 2/3 inches!
Do-it-in-your-head method: Length + width is half the perimeter which is 27 inches; 27 minus 6 is 21 and one-third of 21 is 7 which is the width. (Length = 2 x 7 + 6 = 20)
Length + width = half perimeter = 100". Length is 98", width is 2"
Half perimeter = 109. Subtract 87 and half the answer 22/2 = 11, this is the width. Add on the 87 giving 98, this is the length.
Perimeter = 2*(L + W) = 2*(12 + 10.5) = 2*22.5 = 45 inches. Area = 12*10.5 = 126 square inches.
Do-it-in-your-head method:Length + width is half the perimeter, ie 76 inches;76 - 36 = 40;Half of 40 is 20: this is the width;20 + 36 = 56: this is the length.Job done.
The perimeter of that rectangle is 89.6875.
When a square paper is folded vertically to form a rectangle with a perimeter of 39 inches, the length of the rectangle is 19.5 inches (half of the perimeter). Since the length of the rectangle is the same as the side length of the original square, the area of the original square can be calculated as the square of the side length, which is 19.5 inches squared, equaling 380.25 square inches.
perimeter 24 so length + width half of that ie 12. Length 3 times width must be 9 and width 3.
What is the perimeter of a square with a side measuring eleven and a half inches?
Do-it-in-your-head method: 1. Length + width is half the perimeter ie 116 in 2. 116 minus 68 is 48, half of 48 is 24 which is the width, making the length 92 in
Could be. Let's say the rectangle is 3.5 in by 1 in; then it would take 3 and one-half tiles.
Length + width = half of perimeter ie 36.7 in. If length is 4.7 in then width is 32 in.
