Answer:

The perimeter of rectangle is 18\ cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x-----> the length of the rectangle

y----> the width of the rectangle

we know that

x=y+5 ----> equation A

120=xy+2x^{2}+2y^{2} ---> equation B (area of the constructed figure)

substitute the equation A in equation B

120=(y+5)y+2(y+5)^{2}+2y^{2}

120=(y+5)y+2(y+5)^{2}+2y^{2}\\ 120=y^{2}+5y+2(y^{2}+10y+25)+2y^{2}\\ 120=y^{2}+5y+2y^{2}+20y+50+2y^{2}\\120=5y^{2}+25y+50\\5y^{2}+25y-70=0

using a graphing calculator -----> solve the quadratic equation

The solution is

y=2\ cm

Find the value of x

x=y+5 ----> x=2+5=7\ cm

Find the perimeter of rectangle

P=2(x+y)=2(7+2)=18\ cm

Help find out what the x is please
miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

First you want to add 8.8 to 7.2 and get 16 because you want to get x alone

Next divide divide 4x on both sides so 4x/4x cross out and left with just x. 16/4 =4

x=4

Hope this helps!

The quotient of y and 6 is 29 find the value of y
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

Addition → 23

Since 29 is a prime number and does not have least common factors beside itself and 1, there is only addition here, which would be <em>23 + 6</em>.
