Answer:

length: 16 m; width: 13 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Write each of the statements as an equation. You know that the formula for the perimeter is ...

P = 2(L +W)

so one of your equations is this one with the value of P filled in:

• 2L + 2W = 58

The other equation expresses the relation between L and W:

• L = W +3 . . . . . . . . the length is 3 meters greater than the width

There are many ways to solve such a system of equations. Since you have an expression for L, it is convenient to substitute that into the first equation to get ...

2(W+3) +2W = 58

4W +6 = 58 . . . . . . . simplify

4W = 52 . . . . . . . . . . subtract 6

W = 13 . . . . . . . . . . . .divide by 4

We can use the expression for L to find its value:

L = 13 +3 = 16

The length is 16 meters; the width is 13 meters.

In rhombus ABCD, the diagonal line AC and line BD intersect at E. If AE=5 and BE = 12, what is the length of line AB?
Reika [66]
From a formula located here:
http://www.1728.org/quadltrl.htm
we see that
<span>4 • Side² = Long Diagonal² + Short Diagonal²
Long Diagonal = 24
Short Diagonal = 10
</span><span>4 • Side² = 24^2 + 10^2 </span>
<span>4 • Side² = 576 + 100
</span><span>4 • Side² = 676
</span><span><span>Side²</span> = 169
Side (or line AB) = 13
