A rectangle has an area of 8 square centimmetres and a perimeter of 12 cm. What are the width and breath?

1 answer:

8 0

Let the Length be L and the Width be W

The area is 8 cm²
LW = 8

The perimeter is 12
2(L + W) = 12
L + W = 6

Solve L and W:
LW = 8 --------------- (1)
L + W = 6------------ (2)

Equation (2):
L + W = 6
L = 6 - W -------------- Sub into (1)
(6 - W) W = 8
6W - W² = 8
W² - 6W + 8 =0
(W -2 )(W - 4) = 0
W = 2 or 4

When W =2, L = 6 - 2 = 4
When W = 4, L = 6 - 4 = 2

Answer: The Width is 2 cm and the Length is 4 cm

wolverine [178]

Answer:

1006

Step-by-step explanation:

Take proportion, p = 62%

n = (Z² * pq) / M.E²

Margin error = 0.03

p = 62% = 0.62

q = 1 - p = 1 - 0.62 = 0.38

Zcritical at 95% = 1.96

n = (1.96² * (0.62*0.38)) / 0.03²

n = 0.90508096 / 0.0009

n = 1005.6455

n = 1006

Sample size = 1006
