3/6 = 6/x+3
3x + 9 = 36
3x = 27
x = 9
Answer: (b) 48 cm
==========================================================
Explanation:
Divide the perimeter of the square over 4 to get the side length s.
s = P/4
s = 48/4
s = 12
The side length of the square is 12 cm. This leads to an area of...
A = s^2
A = 12^2
A = 144
The area of the square is 144 square cm.
The rectangle is 4 cm^2 less than the square's area, so we know the rectangle has area 144-4 = 140 cm^2.
If the length of the rectangle is 14 cm, then the width must be
W = A/L
W = 140/14
W = 10
This is a 14 cm by 10 cm rectangle (note how 14*10 = 140)
The last step is to compute the perimeter of the rectangle
P = 2(L+W)
P = 2(14+10)
P = 2*24
P = 48
You can use the formula P = 2L+2W, but it's effectively the same thing.
The perimeter of the rectangle is 48 cm.
This is PEMDAS as well as order of operations and or parentheses, exponents, multiplication, division, addition, and subtraction. Multiplication and division go together, so you do whichever one comes first. Same goes to addition and subtraction. A way to remember the order is Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally.
The answer is A
the legs are x and the hypotenuse is x√2.
x is 8 so the hypotenuse is 8√2
