the perimeter of a triangle is 86 inches. the largest side is four inches less than twice the smallest side. the third side is 10 inches longer than the smallest side. what is the length of each side?
Assuming it is rectangle, then the perimeter equal twice the summation of length and width. Answer = 2 x (14 + 24) = 2 x 38 = 76 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)
A rectangle with one side that is double the length of the other side can be seen as two squares beside each other, that are half the area of the original rectangle, in this case 18 square inches / 2 = 9 square inches. The side of a square is the square root of the area, in this case the square root of 9 square inches, which is 3 inches. Now think about the rectangle again. What we just counted was the side of a square that made up one half of the rectangle you wanted to calculate the area of. So the shorter side of the rectangle is the same as our square, and the longer side is double the length. So the width of the rectangle is 3 inches, and the length is 2 * 3 inches = 6 inches. Or: Area = length x width (A=lw) Area = 18 (in2) Width = w Length = twice width (2w) 18 = (2w)w 18 = 2w2 9 = w2 3 = w The width is 3 in., the length (2w) is 6 in.
Using algebra to solve this geometric problem, call the width w inches long.Therefore the length is 2w+2 inches (i.e. "2in more than twice its width").There are two widths and two lengths in the perimeter so now add them up. w+w+2w+2+2w+2=6w+4 The perimeter is equal to 16 inches, so 6w+4=16 6w=12 w=2 inches
30 inches. The diameter is twice the length of the radius.

A rectangle has two dimensions, length and width. You haven't said what the width is. The perimeter is the distance around the rectangle. Imagine going round it. You would go 42 inches, then a width, then another 42 inches, then another width. In general, the perimeter of a rectangle is twice its length plus twice its width.

Length of rectangle is 5 inches and its width is 4 inches Check: 2*(5+4) = 18 inches which is its perimeter
Let x = length and y = width Then x + y = 19 Therefore x = 19 - y Also x = 2y - 1 (the length is 1 less than twice the width) So as x = x then 19 - y = 2y - 1 Therefore 3y = 20 which makes y = 6.666667 inches (width) and x = 19 - 6.666667 = 12.333333 inches (length) Twice the width would be 2 x 6.666667 = 13.3333333 inches and 1 less will be 12.3333333 inches (as above)
the perimeter of a triangle is 86 inches. the largest side is four inches less than twice the smallest side. the third side is 10 inches longer than the smallest side. what is the length of each side?
If Barbie were life-size she would stand seven feet two inches tall and have a neck twice the length of a normal human's. This is true.
If Barbie were life-size, she would stand seven feet, two inches tall and have a neck twice the length of a normal human's neck!
2 (x + 2x) = 42 x + 2x = 21 3x = 21 Therefore, x = 7 The width of the rectangle is 7 inches. The length of the rectangle is 14 inches.
If Barbie were life-size she would stand seven feet two inches tall and have a neck twice the length of a normal human's. This is true.
