Answer: -2
Step-by-step explanation:
Because it is
Area of a rectangle: 2(L+W)
length: 4+W
Area: 2(4+W) + 2W = 96
8+2W+2W = 96
8+4W = 96
4W = 88
W= 22cm
Calculate for length: 2L + 2(22) = 96
2L + 44 = 96
2L = 52
L = 26cm
• The length is 26cm and width is 22 cm.
Answer:
Here is the rule: when a and b are not negative
√(ab) = √a × √b
Example: simplify √8
√8 = √(4×2) = √4 × √2 = 2√2
(Because the square root of 4 is 2)
In other words 2 x 4 = 8 = √2 x 4 but 4 can be simplified more (2 x 2) so 2 (previous 4) moves to the left of the square root leaving 2√2
To simplify a square root: make the number inside the square root as small as possible (but still a whole number)
or you can use a simplifying square root calculator.
