Perimeter of Parallelogram ABCD: Pp=10 cm
BD=?
Perimeter of triangle ABD: Pt=8 cm

Parallelogram ABCD:
AB=CD=L1
BC=AD=L2
Pp=2(L1+L2)
10 cm=2(L1+L2)
Dividing by 2 both sides of the equation:
(10 cm)/2=2(L1+L2)/2
5 cm=L1+L2
L1+L2=5 cm

Triangle ABD
Pt=AB+BD+AD
8 cm=L1+BD+L2
8 cm=BD+L1+L2
But L1+L2=5 cm, then:
8 cm=BD+5 cm
Solving for BD:
8 cm-5 cm=BD+5 cm+ 5 cm
3 cm=BD
BD=3 cm

Answer: The length of the diagonal BD is 3 cm

The length of a rectangular storage room is 5 feet longer than its width. If the area of the room is 104 square feet, find its d
Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

 

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width of the rectangular storage room be=x feet. Then, the length of the rectangular storage room is= (x+5) feet.

The area of the room =104 square feet

⇒Length{\times}breadth=104

⇒x(x+5)=104

⇒x^{2}+5x-104=0

⇒x^{2}+13x-8x-104=0

⇒x(x+13)-8(x+13)=0

⇒(x-8)(x+13)=0

⇒x=8 and x=-13

Neglecting the negative value, we have the width of the rectangular storage room=x=8 feet.

Therefore, the length of the rectangular storage room=x+5=8+5=13 feet.

So, the dimensions of the room are 8 feet and 13 feet.
