The length of the side of a
square is represented by x+2. The length of the side of an equilateral triangle
is 2x. If the square and the equilateral triangle have equal perimeter, then the
value of x is _______.
Answer:
x = 4
Explanation:
Since the side of the square is x + 2, its perimeter = 4 (x + 2) = 4x + 8
Since the side of the equilateral triangle is 2x, its perimeter = 3 * 2x = 6x
Also, the perimeters of both are equal.
(i.e.) 4x + 8 = 6x
(i.e.) 2x = 8 è x = 4.
It takes Mr. Karthik y hours
to complete typing a manuscript. After 2 hours, he was called away. What
fractional part of the assignment was left incomplete?
Answer:
(y – 2) / y.
Explanation:
To type a manuscript karthik took y hours.
Therefore his speed in typing = 1/y.
He was called away after 2 hours of typing.
Therefore the work completed = 1/y * 2.
Therefore the remaining work to be completed = 1 – 2/y.
(i.e.) work to be completed = (y-2)/y
