The perimeter of an object is given by the sum of all the sides of the object. Thus the perimeter of a quadrilateral is the sum of the four sides of the quadrilateral.

Given a quadrilateral with sides: n, 2n - 12, 3n + 4, n + 7

The sum is n + 2n - 12 + 3n + 4 + n + 7 = 7n - 1 = 90

Thus, 7n = 90 + 1 = 91 and n = 91 / 7 = 13.

Therefore, the length of the side KL is n = 13 centimeters.

The rabbit population in a certain area is 500% of last year's population. There are 700 rabbits this year. How many were the

Ksenya-84 [330]

For this case we have the following data:

700 rabbits that represent 500% of the population of last year. So, to obtain the rabbit population of last year, we developed a rule of three:

700 -----------> 500%

x ---------------> 100%

Where x represents the rabbit population of last year.

Clearing x we have:

$x = \frac{ 100 * 700}{500}$
