Consider the right angles triangle with hypotenuse 15 and leg 8 cm formed by drawing the diagonal.

The other leg (x)  will be the other side of the rectangle and , by Pythagoras we have:-

15^2 =  8^2 + x^2

x^2 = 225 - 64

x^2 = 161

x =  12.69 cms

So the perimeter p = 2*8 + 2* 12.69

=  16 + 25.38

= 41.38 cms   (answer)

Hi there!

The diagonal of a rectangle forms, with 2 adjacent sides, a rectangle triangle. This means that you just have to use Pythagora's theorem to calculate the length of the second side.

The pythagorean theorem states that the square of the hypothenuse (which is in this case the diagonal), is equal to the sum of the square of the other two sides.

Here's what the formula looks like:

"C" being the hypothenuse (diagonal)

"A" & "B" being the two other sides

C² = A² + B²


Replace the values you are given in the problem in the formula:

C² = A² + B²

15² = 8² + B²


Solve this equation by isolating "B" :

<u>15²</u> = <u>8²</u> + B²

225 = <u>64</u> + B²

Subtract 64 from each side of the equation → 225 - 64 = 161

161 = B<u>²</u>

Square root on each side of the equation → √161 = 12.6885775...

12.69 ≈ B


Now that you have the measures of the length and the width of the rectangle, you can calculate the perimeter:

"P" being the perimeter

"L" being the length

"W" being the width

P = (L × 2) + (W × 2)

P = <u>(12.69 × 2)</u> + <u>(8 × 2)</u>

P = <u>25.38 + 16</u>

P = 41.38


The answer is: The perimeter of the rectangle is 41.38 cm.


There you go! I really hope this helped, if there's anything just let me know! :)

Find the measure of the missing angles. WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST
Ivahew [28]
D = 90
This is because any line is equal to 180 degrees, we see that d is situated on a line that continues into another angle, the other angle is 90 degrees, so we minus 90 from 180, to get 90.

E = 99
E is situated on a line with the other angle F, F = 81 (see below) so we minus 81 from 180


F = 81
F is situated on a line, we minus it from the other angle situated on the same line, so we minus 99 from 180to get 81

Hope this helps! Please make me the brainliest, it’s not necessary but appreciated, I put a lot of effort and research into my answers. Have a good day, stay safe and stay healthy.

svetoff [14.1K]
This can be done easily in a few ways. One, you could do equivelent fractions as this. 16 percent is the same as 16 over 100, or, 16/100, 100 being the total with an = sign with X over 550, or, X/550. you can multiply 16 by 500 and divide by 100 to get $88. Or you could do it my way, (prefered way). take the $550, divide it by 100, then multiply by 16 and get $88. either way you do this, you take away the $88 from $550 and get the sale price of [Drumroll please...]
