Answer:

11 cm, 11 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length and width of the rectangle be x cm and y cm respectively.

Therefore,

Perimeter of rectangle = 44 cm

2(x + y) = 44

x + y = 44/2

x + y = 22...... (1)

Area of rectangle = xy

When length is increased by 4 cm and breadth is increased by 2 cm.

New length = (x + 4) cm

New width = (y + 2) cm

New area of rectangle = original area + 72.. (given)

Therefore,

(x + 4) (y + 2) = xy + 72

xy + 2x + 4y + 8 = xy + 72

2x + 4y = 72 - 8

2x + 4y = 66

2(x + 2y) = 66

x + 2y = 66/2

x + 2y = 33.... (2)

Subtracting equation (1) from equation (2)

x + 2y - (x + y) = 33 - 22

x + 2y - x - y = 11

y = 11

Substituting y = 11 in equation (1)

x + 11 = 22

x = 22 - 11

x = 11

Thus, the dimensions of the rectangle are 11 cm and 11 cm.

  1. To divide the triangles into these regions, you should construct the <u>perpendicular bisector</u> of each segment.
  2. These perpendicular bisectors intersect and divide each triangle into three regions.
  3. The points in each region are those closest to the vertex in that <u>region</u>.

<h3>What is a triangle?</h3>

A triangle can be defined as a two-dimensional geometric shape that comprises three (3) sides, three (3) vertices and three (3) angles only.

<h3>What is a line segment?</h3>

A line segment can be defined as the part of a line in a geometric figure such as a triangle, circle, quadrilateral, etc., that is bounded by two (2) distinct points and it typically has a fixed length.

<h3>What is a perpendicular bisector?</h3>

A perpendicular bisector can be defined as a type of line that bisects (divides) a line segment exactly into two (2) halves and forms an angle of 90 degrees at the point of intersection.

In this scenario, we can reasonably infer that to divide the triangles into these regions, you should construct the <u>perpendicular bisector</u> of each segment. These perpendicular bisectors intersect and divide each triangle into three regions. The points in each region are those closest to the vertex in that <u>region</u>.
