Eleanor and Max used two rectangular pieces of plywood, placed end-to-end, to make a long rectangular stage for the school play. One board was 7 feet long, and the other was 7 1/2 feet long. The two pieces of plywood had equal widths. The total area of the stage
was 97 7/8 square feet. What was the width of the plywood?

?

Step-by-step explanation:

x = 17

step-by-step explanation:

in the given figure, two triangles are inscribed in a circle where ∠bae ≅ ∠dae which makes the side be and de equal so we can write it as:

3x - 24 = x + 10

solving this equation for x to get:

3x - x = 10 + 24

2x = 34

x = 34/2

x = 17

therefore, the value of x = 17.

step-by-step explanation:

given perimeter: 28cm

length: 9cm

atp,

2(l+w)=p of the reactangle

2(9+x)=28

18+2x=28

2x=28-18

x=10/2

x=5

therefore width is 5 cm
