Answer:

Length:8 m

Width:3 m

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The complete question is</em></u>

If the perimeter of a rectangle is 22 meters, and the perimeter of a right triangle is 12 meters (the sides of the triangle are half the length of the rectangle, the width of the rectangle, and the hypotenuse is 5 meters). How do you solve for L and W, the dimensions of the rectangle.

step 1

<em>Perimeter of rectangle</em>

we know that

The perimeter of rectangle is equal to

P=2(L+W)

we have

P=22\ m

so

22=2(L+W)

Simplify

11=L+W -----> equation A

step 2

Perimeter of triangle

The perimeter of triangle is equal to

P=\frac{L}{2}+W+5

P=12\ m

so

12=\frac{L}{2}+W+5

Multiply by 2 both sides

24=L+2W+10

L+2W=14 ----> equation B

Solve the system of equations by graphing

Remember that the solution is the intersection point both graphs

using a graphing tool

The solution is the point (8,3)

see the attached figure

therefore

The dimensions of the rectangle are

Length:8 m

Width:3 m
