Answer:

Length=18 Width=6

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello, You should first you algebra and and assign the dimensions with letters.

Length=x Width= 1/3x

as its the perimeter you add all the side together

x + x + 1/3x + 1/3x

which equals= 8/3x (this is an improper fraction at the moment)

then we know the total perimeter =48

so 48=8/3 x

so rearrange to get X by it's self

so 48 x 3/8

which x=18

PLEASE HELP ME thank you answer needs to be in simplest radical form find d

sweet [91]

Answer:

$d=10$

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagorean theorem:

$d^2+d^2=10\sqrt{2}^2,\\2d^2=200,\\d^2=100,\\d=\boxed{10}$

Alternative:

$\cos 45^{\circ}=\frac{d}{10\sqrt{2}},\\\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}=\frac{d}{10\sqrt{2}},\\2d=10\sqrt{2}\cdot \sqrt{2},\\2d=20,\\d=\boxed{10}$

Alternative (derived from the Pythagorean theorem):

All 45-45-90 triangles have side lengths $x-x-x\sqrt{2}$ , where $x\sqrt{2}$ is the hypotenuse. Since this triangle's hypotenuse is $10\sqrt{2}$ , its sides are $10-10-10\sqrt{2}$ .
