Answer 3

okay here is one of the questions.

Answer 4

sorry my computer is really slow so it takes me a lil bit longer to respond.

Answer 7

Because the two rectangles are similar, the ratio of corresponding sides is the same.

That means this: 58.5 is to 13 as x is to 16. x is the longer side of the larger rectangle.

Answer 8

58.5 / 13 = x / 16

Solve the proportion for x.

Answer 9

x is not the answer to the question.

Post what you get for the value of x and then we will continue.

Hint: Cross multiply to begin to find x.

Answer 10

13x/936 ?

Answer 11

@Directrix

Answer 12

13*x = 16 * 58.5

Answer 15

There are 5 strips of molding.

5* 36 = ?

Answer 16

ok

Answer 17

5* 36 = does not equal 72. Try again.

Answer 18

180

Answer 19

@kyley_bear Need your help. Let's crank this out and be finished. Please answer the question.

Answer 20

Tag me when you do the multiplication.

Answer 21

So, take the sum of the perimeters of the two rectangles and subtract the 180 from that:

2 * 58.5 + 2*72 + 2*16 + 2*13 = perimeter of the two rectangles

Answer 22

@Directrix

Answer 23

Required molding to finish the framing:

(2 * 58.5 + 2*72 + 2*16 + 2*13) - 180 =

Answer 24

That is 139 but do check. I get that your computer is lagging.
