The perimeter of a rectangle is 30.8 km and it’s diagonal length is 11 km. Find it’s length and width

blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

Length of the rectangle is 15.0325 km and width is 0.3765 km.

Explanation:

Given:

Perimeter of a rectangle = 30.8 km

Length of diagonal of rectangle = 11 km

To find:

The length and width of rectangle=?

Solution:

Lets assume length of the rectangle = x km

And assume width of the rectangle = y km

Lets first create equation using given perimeter

perimeter of rectangle = 2 ( length + width )

=> 30.8 km = 2 ( x + y )

=> $x + y = \frac{30.8}{2}$

=> y = 15.4 – x ------(1)

As diagonal and two sides of rectangle forms right angle triangle whose hypoteneus is diagonal ,

=> $length^2 + width^2 = diagonal^2$

=> $x^2 + y^2 = 11^2$

=> $x^2 + y^2 = 121$

On substituting value of y from (1) in above equation we get

=> $x^2 + (15.4-x)^2 = 121$

=> $x^2 + (15.4)^2 + x^2 – 2 x 15.4 \times x = 121$

=> $2x^2-30.8x + 237.16 -121 = 0$

=> $2x^2-30.8x + 116.16 = 0$

Solving above quadratic equation using quadratic formula

General form of quadratic equation is

$ax^2 +bx +c = 0$

And quadratic formula for getting roots of quadratic equation is

$x= \frac{ -b\pm\sqrt{(b^2-4ac)}}{2a}$

As equation is $2x^2-30.8x + 116.16 = 0$ , in our case

a = 2 , b = -30.8 and c = 116.16

Calculating roots of the equation we get

$x=\frac{ -(-30.8)\pm\sqrt{(-30.8)^2-4(2)( 11)} } {(2\times2)}$

$x=\frac{30.8\pm\sqrt{(948.64-88)}}{4}$

$x=\frac{30.8\pm\sqrt{860.64}}{4}$

$x=\frac{(30.8\pm29.33)}4$

$x=\frac{(30.8+29.33)}{4}$

$x=\frac{(30.8-29.33)}{4}$

=> x = 15.0325 or x = 0.3675

As generally length is longer one ,

So x = 1.0325

From equation (1) y = 15.4 – x = 0.3765

Hence length of the rectangle is 15.0325 km and width is 0.3765 km.

Two negative integers have a sum of -12 and a

emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

The two integers are -1 and -11

Step-by-step explanation:

If you add -1 to -11, you would apply the rule of adding negatives (add then put the sign of the larger number). 11+1=12. They are both negative, so it would then become -12. -1 X -11=11 because when multiplying negatives, two of the same sign are positive

What is the percent of change from 6,000 to 60?

Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer: 99% decrease

Step-by-step explanation: Since the number changes from 6,000 to 60, we know that it's decreasing. Now to find the percent decrease, we divide the amount of change by the original number.

The amount of change is the difference between 6,000 and 60 and the original number is 6,000.

6,000 - 60 is 5,940 so we are left with $\frac{5,940}{6,000}$ and dividing 6,000 into 5,940 gives us 0.99.

Finally, since the problem is asking us for the percent, we write 0.999 as a percent by moving the decimal point 2 places to the right to get 99%.

So when a number changes from 6,000 to 60, it has decreased by 99%.
