Drawing it out, as seen, using the Pythagorean theorem we get that w^2+l^2 (with w=width and l=length)=diagonal^2=24^2+l^2=40^2. Subtracting 24^2 from both sides, we get 40^2-24^2=l^2=1024. Square rooting both sides, we get l=32. Since the perimeter is 2w+2l, we get 32*2+24*2=64+48=112

Answer:

40% students play the saxophone.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total Number of students who play woodwind instrument = 45

Number of students who play saxophone = 18

We need to find the percent of students who play saxophone.

Solution:

To find the percent of students who play saxophone we will divide Number of students who play saxophone by Total Number of students who play woodwind instrument and the multiply by 100.

framing in equation form we get;

percent of students who play saxophone = $\frac{18}{45}\times100= 40\%$
