Answer:
=》Area = 180 sq.yd
Step-by-step explanation:
perimeter = 2l + 2b
where, we have l = 15
- so (2×15) + 2b = 54
- 30 + 2b = 54
- 2b = 24
- b = 12
now, Area = l × b = 12 × 15 = 180 sq.yd
You start by distributing: 8s-4=7s+12
Combine like terms: 8s-7s=12+4
Solve and get your answer: s=16
Think of this as a proportion: 2.4 is to 100, as 34 is to L ("L" for "Long piece.")
Cross multiply to get 2.4 L = 3400, then divide both sides by 2.4 to be left with
L = 3400/2.4, so
L = 1416.666...
So the longer piece of wood is 1,416.66... inches long.
Hope this helps!!:)
