The figure is made up of two identical squares and has a perimeter of 42 inches. What is the area of one square?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

The area of one square is 49 square inches.

What is a square?

A square is a two-dimensional figure and a four-sided polygon which has it's all sides equal in length and the measure of the angles are 90 degrees. The total interior angle is 360 degrees.

For the given situation,

The figure is made up of two identical squares. So it forms a rectangle.

Let width be x then length be 2x.

Perimeter of rectangle = 42 inches

The formula of perimeter of rectangle is

P=2(l+w)

42=2(x+2x)

42=2x+4x

42=6x

x=(42)/(6)

x=7

Thus one side of the square is 7 inches.

So formula of area of square is

Area = (side)^(2)

Area = (7)^(2)

Area = 49

Hence we can conclude that the area of one square is 49 square inches.

Answer 2
Answer:

first solve for the perimeter of the rectangle

2w + 2l = 42

since the length of the rectangle is twice as long as the length and width of the square

2w = l

solve using substitution

2w + 2(2w) = 42
2w + 4w = 42
6w = 42
w = 7

are is length x width. a square has the same length and width

7 x 7 = 49

the area of one square is 49

~~~15 POINTS~~~Shawn's Rentals charges $27.50 per hour to rent a surfboard and a wet suit. Darla's Surf Shop charges $23.25 per hour to rent a surfboard plus $17 extra for a wet suit. For what total number of hours are the charges for Shawn's Rentals the same as charges for Darla's Surf Shop?

A. 3
B. 4
C. 5
D. 6

Answers

OK, here, we can simply apply the values and solve for which one works.

23.50 * 3 = 70.50
23.25(3) + 17 = 86.75

Now, they are not equal.

Try another one!

27.50 * 5 = 137.50
23.25*5 + 17 = 133.25

Not correct either!!

Try another!

27.50 * 6 = 165
23.25 *6 + 17 = 156.50 

NO! Lets try the second one!!

27.50*4 = 110
23.25 * 4 + 17 = 110

THIS ONE IS CORRECT!

Answer: 4 hours is when they have the same charges. 

The answer is B. 4

$27.50×4= $110. 

$23.25+17+4= $110

Thats the answer. Try the other answer and none will be the same.

What does 4 3/8+ 6 3/4 equal

Answers

Answer: 11.125

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

When adding fractions you want the denominators of your fractions to be alike.

The first thing you can do is add your two whole number 4 and 6. 4+6=10.

Now you want to combine your fractions, 3/8 and 3/4. Both fractions need to have like denominators. In order to do this we would change the 3/4 so it has a denominator of 8. I choose 8 because you can take 2*4 to get 8. Since we multiplied the denominator by 2, we have to do the same with the numerator, 3*2=6.

Your fraction is now 6/8.

We can down add 3/8 + 6/8= 9/8

Since 9/8 is improper we need to change it into a mixed number. In order to do this we need to take 9/8 which is 1 and 1/8

We now have 1 1/8 and don't forget the 10 from up above.

10+1 1/8= 11 1/8

Your final answer would be 11 1/8

Hope this helps ;)

How long does it take each horse to run a mile

Answers

It will take the first horse 2.5 hours to run a mil

It will take the second horse 4 hours to run a mil

Find the required graph attached.

The formula for calculating speed is expressed as:

  • Speed  = Distance/Time

  • Time = Distance * Speed

Get the speed of each horse

Speed for the first horse = 5/2 = 2.5 miles/hr

Time = 2.5 * 1

Time = 2.5 hours

Hence it will take the first horse 2.5 hours to run a mile

Speed for the second horse = 4/1 = 4 miles/hr

Time = 4 * 1

Time = 4 hours

Hence it will take the second horse 4 hours to run a mile
