Width= 1/2x length=x
to find the perimeter, it's the width+width+length+length so:
1/2x+1/2x+x+x=54
3x=54
x=18
the length is 18 cm and the width is 9 cm

Let length of the rectangle = x.
Let width of the rectangle = x/2 (or 1/2 of x)

Remember that Area = 2L + 2W, so . . .

2x + 2(x/2) = 54

2x + (2/2)x = 54

2x + x = 54

3x = 54  -->  x = 54/3 --> x = 18

So the length of the rectangle is 18 cm and the width is 18/2 = 9 cm.

In a certain isosceles right triangle, the altitude to the hypotenuse has length
Law Incorporation [45]

The angle bisector, median, and altitude are all the same things in an isosceles triangle.

That means that the legs of the smaller triangles created by the altitude are 4 root 2.

By special properties of an right triangle, the hypotenuse is 8.

Since the legs of the original right triangle are congruent, the area of the original triangle is 8*8/2.

Now we just simplify:

8*8/2=64/2=32
