The width of a rectangle is 2 cm less than 8 times the length. the perimeter is 68 cm. what are the width and length of the rectangle?

length=4

width=30

Step-by-step explanation:

length=x

width=8x-2

(8x-2)*2+2x=68

16x-4+2x=68

18x=72

x=4 (Length)

4*8=32, 32-2=30(width)

answer:

total cost for tiles and paints is $924.  

step-by-step explanation:

we have been given that a community hall is in the shape of a cuboid. the hall is 40m long 15m high and 3m wide.

the paint will be required for 4 walls and ceiling.

let us find area of walls and ceiling.

therefore, the area of walls and ceiling is 1410 square meters.

given: cost for 10 litre of paint is $10 and 10 litre paint covers 25 square meter. therefore,

therefore, the total painting cost is $564.

tiles will be required for floor. let us find the area of floor.

given: 1m squared floor tiles costs $3. so,

therefore, the total tiles cost is $360.

now let us find combined total cost of tiles and paint.

therefore, the combined total cost of tiles and paint is $924.
