Arectangular rug has a perimeter of 220 feet. the width of the rug is two feet less than the length. find the length and the width.

The length is 56 and the width is 54.

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a rectangle is 2x+2y (width and length on both sides). so 2x+2y=220. Also x=y-2, because the width is 2 feet less than the length. Fill x=y-2 in 2x+2y=220 and we get 2(y-2)+2y=220. 2y-4+2y=220. 4y=216. y=54. Fill in y=54 in 2x+2y=220 and we get 2x+2(54)=220. 2x=220-2(54)=112. x=56.

126 maybe. sorry

c. 27 units.

step-by-step explanation:

we are told that in circle a, ∠bae ≅ ∠dae.

we can see from our given diagram that in and ;

, as these are radii of our given circle.

therefore, by sas congruence postulate.

hence, side be will be equal to side de as corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent. so we can set an equation to find the value of x as:

now let us substitute x=17 in the expression for the length of be.

therefore, length of be will be 27 units and option c is the correct choice.
