The width is 8.2
Perimeter = 2W + 2L (there are four sides of a rectangle, two longer sides, two shorter, W and L)

65.6 = 2W + 2L
L = 3W so substitute 3W in for L 
65.6 = 2W +2 (3W) 
65.6 = 8W 
W = 8.2 cm 
L = 3(8.2) 
L = 24.6cm

I misread the question.
3w=l
2l+2w=65.6
8w=65.6
w=8.2
l=24.6

Given the length of three sides of a triangle, which is a right triangle?

RSB [31]

The aides of a right triangle will always satisfy the Pythagorean relationship ...

 a² + b²= c²

We can take each of these and try it out:

(1) ... 10² + 24² = 100 + 576 = 676
 √676 = 26 Yes.

(2) ... 12² + 18² = 144 + 324 = 468
 √468 = 21.6, not 20. No.

(3) ... 15² + 26² = 225 + 676 = 901
 √901 = 30.017 Awfully close. As an engineer, I'll buy this one. Yes.

(4) ... 40² + 50² = 1,600 + 2,500 = 4,100
 √4,100 = 64.03, not 80. No.

A rectangular piece of cardboard is 15 inches longer than it is wide. A 5-inch square is cut from each corner, and the remaining

HACTEHA [7]

Let x be the width of the cardboard, then the length is x+15. If 5 unches square is cut from each corner, then the new length is x+15-5·2=x+5 and the new width is x-5·2=x-10. The height of the formed box is 5 in. Now you can find the box volume:

$V=\text{ width }\cdot \text{ length }\cdot \text{ height },\\ V=(x-10)\cdot (x+5)\cdot 5,\\ V=5(x^2-5x-50)$ .

If the volume of the box is 1,250 cubic inches, then

$5(x^2-5x-50)=1250,\\ x^2-5x-50=250,\\ x^2-5x-300=0,\\ D=(-5)^2-4\cdot (-300)=25+1200=1225,\\ \sqrt{D} =35,\\ x_{1,2}=\dfrac{5\pm 35}{2} =20,-15$ .

The length of the box is x+5=20+5=25 in. (the negative x is extra, because the length couldn't be negative).

Answer: the length of the box is 25 inches.
