Answer:
10 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
From the diagram,
Applying,
lw = 5/2(bh)..................... Equation 1
Where l = length of the rectangle, w = width of the rectangle, b = base of the triangle, h = height of the triangle.
make w the subject of the equation
w = 5(bh)/2l............... Equation 2
From the diagram,
Given: l = 12 cm, b = 6 cm, h = 8 cm
Substitute into equation 2
w = 5(6×8)/(2×12)
w = 10 cm
Hence the width of the rectangle is 10 cm
Just plug in an easy number for "x" and solve. Then see if the second problem is really greater that the first
Answer:
y = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
A line parallel to the x- axis has equation
y = c
Where c is the value of the y- coordinates the line passes through
The line passes through (1, 5) with y- coordinate of 5, thus
y = 5 ← equation of line
