Answer:

The area of the rectangle = 50 cm^2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the shortest side of the rectangle be x cm.

Perimeter of the rectangle is:

2x + 2(x + 5).

Perimeter of the triangle = 3 * 2x.

As they have the same perimeter:

2x + 2(x + 5) = 3*2x

2x + 2x + 10 = 6x

6x - 2x - 2x = 10

2x = 10

x = 5 cm.

So the area of the rectangle = x(x + 5)

= 5 * 10

= 50 cm^2.

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

C = $137.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Okie dokie, so we already know he charges $50 just for a service call, plus 25 per hour, so let's say the total charge is C.

Now, let's make an equation:

C = 50 + 25(3.5)

Now, multiply 25 and 3.5 together:

C = 50 + 87.5

Now we just combine the like terms:

C = $137.5

Hope this helps :)
