Answer:
The rectangle is 3.2 cm by 12.6 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
See attached image for a diagram.
Choose <em>w</em> to represent the width because the length is described by referring to the width: it's 3 more than (add 3) triple (multiplied by 3) the width.
Length = 3w + 3
The diagonal forms two right triangles, each with leg = <em>w</em>, other leg = 3<em>w</em> + 3, hypotenuse = 13.
The Pythagorean Theorem says
so

Now solve using the Quadratic Formula with
.

The negative root makes no sense as a distance, so the width of the rectangle is 3.2 cm. The length is 3(3.2) + 3 = 12.6 cm.
12+11x=17x11x+12=17x
(both sides of the equation)
11x+12−17x=17x−17x
(Subtract 17x from both sides)
−6x+12=0−6x+12−12=0−12
(Subtract 12 from both sides)
−6x=−12−6x−6=−12−6
(Divide both sides by -6)
x=2

Check the picture below.
so, if we slap the bottom surplus to the empty area on the top, we can pretty much close off those squares above, that gives a solid area of at least a 4x5 square, the red part and the yellow part there, and that'd give us a perimeter of 4+4+5+5 = 20 at least.
we might also be able to augment the left-right sides together to close off those squares as well, but even if we did, our area will just be about a 4x6 or 24 square units.
A) is the area larger than 14 square units? ✔
B) is the area less than 35 square units? ✔
C) is the perimeter more than 16? ✔
