we are given that the perimeter of the rectangle is 42cm

the formula for the perimeter of the rectangle is 2(l+b)

where l= length and b=breadth

so,

equating the above two equations we get

2(l+b)=42

(l+b)=42/2

l+b=21..........................(1)

we are given the area of the rectangle to be 98sq cm

the formula for the area of the rectangle is l*b.

so,

equating the above two equations we get

l*b=98

l=98/b

equating the above equation in equation 1 in we get,

98/b +b=21

(98+b²)/b=21

98+b²=21b

b²- 21b + 98 = 0

(b-7)(b-14)=0

thus we have

b-7=0

b=7

and

b-14=0

b=14

equating both the values of b in equation (1)

when b=7

l+b=21

l+7=21

l=21-7

l=14

and

when b=14

l+b=21

l+14=21

l=21-14

l=7

since breath, can't be longer than length, thus b=7 and l=14.

thus the rectangle has a length of 14 cm and a breath of 7cm

Define the length and breadth/width of a rectangle.

Since a rectangle is a two-dimensional form, it has two dimensions: length and width. The rectangle's length is its longer side, while its width is its shorter side.

Which of the following best describes an irrational number?
Furkat [3]

Answer:

Option D is correct.

D- A number that cannot be expressed as a fraction, , where p and q are integers

Step-by-step explanation:

Irrational number:

An irrational number can not be expressed as a fraction or ratio of  integers, like \frac{p}{q} where p and q are integers

And also it can not be expressed as terminating decimal or repeating decimal

Example of the irrational number is given below.

\sqrt{8}= 2.82842

\pi = 3.14285..

\sqrt{3}= 2.82842

Therefore option D (A number that cannot be expressed as a fraction, , where p and q are integers) is correct .
