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 area of a rectangle is 42 ft squared, and the length of the rectangle is 5 ft more than twice the width. Find the dimensions
stira [4]

Answer:

<h3>Length = 12 ft</h3>

Width = \frac{7}{2} ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Area of rectangle = 42 \:  {ft}^{2}

Width = X

Length = 2x + 5

Now,

x(2x + 5) = 42

2 {x}^{2}  + 5x   = 42

2 {x}^{2}  + 5x - 42 = 0

2 {x}^{2}  + 12x - 7x - 42 = 0

2x(x + 6) - 7(x + 6) = 0

(2x  - 7)(x + 6) = 0

Either

2x - 7 = 0

2x = 0 + 7

2x = 7

x =  \frac{7}{2}

Or,

x + 6 = 0

x = 0 - 6

x =  - 6

Negative value can't be taken.

So, width = \frac{7}{2} ft

Again,

Finding the value of length,

Length = 2x + 5

2 \times  \frac{7}{2}  + 5

7 + 5

12

Length = 12 ft
