Let the dimensions be x and y

Given that the area is 40m²
xy = 40 ----------------- (1)

Given that the perimeter is 26
2(x + y) = 26
x + y = 13
x = 13 - y ---------------- Sub into (1)

(13 - y)y = 40
13y - y² = 40
y² - 13y + 40 = 0
(y - 8)(y - 5) = =
y = 8 or y = 5

The dimensions are 8 meters and 5 meters

Express the area of a circle, a, as a function of its circumference, <br> c.
Naddika [18.5K]
Area = PI * radius^2

Circumference = 2 * PI * radius
radius = Circumference / 2 * PI

So, Area = PI * (Circumference / 2 *PI) * (Circumference / 2 *PI)
So, Area = Circumference^2 / (4*PI)

How do you use theorems about triangles to solve problems??? ​
bazaltina [42]

9514 1404 393

Explanation:

Theorems about triangles identify relationships that can be used to formulate equations that can be used in the problem-solving process.

The idea with problem solving is to start with what you know, and make use of the relationships between that and what you don't know in order to find a solution.
