Question 466520: I was looking to find out if I am doing my homework correctly. The problem is
there is a room that is 12'6" by 10'4" in length. I need to find out what the area is in square feet and then I need to express that as an improper fraction.
So far I have tried and got 129 for the area of the room. I am lost after that.

Question 468085: Here is the question I have to answer: "A rectangular field is 4 times as long as it is wide. Let the width be x and the length will therefore be 4x. If the length is decreased by 10 in. and the width is increased by 2 in. the perimeter will be 80 in. Find the dimensions of the original field."
In the end I have to come up with two answers; the length and the width.
I tried doing the problem in a few different ways, if I need to give you all of my tries, please tell me so. But I'll just give you my latest try which I think might be partially right at the very least.
2(4x-10)+2(2+x)=80
8x-10+3x=80
5x-10=80
90/5=18
Is that part right or no? If not do I at least have the right idea? and your answers aren't supposed to come out as fractions are they?
NOTE:Please do not give me the answers, but just try to show me how to work this problem.

Question 468109: "Two angles of a triangle have equal measures, but the third angle's measure is 36° less than the sum of the other two. Find the measure of each angle of the triangle."
This is the problem I was given but how do I write it out? Normally, I would try to solve the problem before coming here but obviously I don't know where to start.
Also, what formula am I following; perimeter or area?
NOTE: I think I may able be to figure the problem out once I have been able to write the problem out correctly.

Question 468391: 1. Where do I find the "ask a question" part of the site without searching it?
2. How exactly do I put this into a problem: "An angle is 25° less than the measure of its complement. What is the measure of the smaller angle?
"
Note: Please do NOT solve the problem. Don't even work it out because I need to try solve it myself. All I need you to do unless of course I find out I do need help (in which case I will ask for help in another question) is for you to write the problem out and tell me what exactly does "the measure of its complement" mean. And yes I am aware that a complement is the sum of all the angles to become 90 degrees.

Question 468383: How did you get 4x?
"Two angles of a triangle have equal measures, but the third angle's measure is 36° less than the sum of the other two. Find the measure of each angle of the triangle."
Theo: "Draw a triangle and label is ABC.
Let angle A = x
let angle B = x
let angle C = 2x - 36
2x - 36 means that angle C is 36 degrees less than the sum of angle A and B.
Since the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180 degrees, then 2x + 2x - 36 = 180.
combine like terms in that equation and you get 4x - 36 = 180
add 36 to both sides of that equation and you get 4x = 216
divide both sides of that equation by 4 and you get x = 54 degrees
angle A = 54 degrees
angle B = 54 degrees
angle C = 108 - 36 = 72 degrees
54 + 54 + 72 = 108 + 72 = 180 degrees so the angles are good because they add up to 180 degrees and the third angle is 36 degrees less than the sum of the other 2."
