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

Answer:

(7, 1/2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply second equation by 2 and subtract.

3x - 4y = 19

- (4x - 4y = 26)

You get -x = -7

x = 7

Substitute x into any equation.

3(7) - 4y = 19

21 - 4y = 19

-4y = -2

y = 1/2
