The width is half the length, so is
width = (1/2)*length
width = (1/2)*(<span>3.2a + 0.18b) cm
width = (1.6a +0.09b) cm
The perimeter of the rectangle is twice the sum of length and width.
perimeter = 2*(length + width)
perimeter = 2*((3.2a +0.18b) cm + (1.6a +0.09b) cm)
perimeter = 2*(4.8a +0.27b) cm)
perimeter = (9.6a +0.54b) cm
Sasha did not get this answer, so apparently ...
her reasoning was not correct.</span>
At first shop the 3 liters of milk cost 2995
cost per liter = cost / volume
cost per liter = 2995 / 3 L
cost per liter = 998 per liter of milk
at second shop the two liters of milk cost 1595
cost per liter = cost / volume
cost per liter = 1595 / 2 L
cost per liter = 797.5 per liter of milk
Answer:
9 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
The border of the garden is a right angled triangle.
Two lengths are given as 12 ft and 15 ft.
Let the length of the shortest timber be 'x' feet.
Now, in a right angled triangle, the longest length is called the hypotenuse.
As 15 feet is the largest length, it is the hypotenuse of the triangle. Now, applying Pythagoras theorem, we get:

The negative value is neglected as length can never be negative.
Therefore, the length of the shortest timber is 9 feet.
