represent the following situation with an equation. do not solve the perimeter of a rectangle is 240 cm and the width is 12 cm. write an equation to find the length
Let's assume that the length of the rectangle is represented by the variable "L".
The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is given by:
Perimeter = 2 * (Length + Width)
In this case, we are given that the perimeter is 240 cm and the width is 12 cm. So we can substitute those values into the formula:
240 = 2 * (L + 12)
Thus, the equation to find the length is:
2 * (L + 12) = 240
represent the following situation with an equation. do not solve. let each side of a pentagon be represented by x+6. if the perimeter of the pentagon is 84, write and equation to find the value of x
Let's assume that x represents the length of each side of the pentagon.
The formula for the perimeter of a polygon is given by:
Perimeter = Number of sides * Length of each side
In this case, we are given that the perimeter is 84 and each side of the pentagon is represented by x + 6. So we can substitute those values into the formula:
84 = 5 * (x + 6)
Thus, the equation to find the value of x is:
5 * (x + 6) = 84
