Answer:
<h3>The possibilities of length and width of the rectangle are </h3><h3>x=1, y=0.24;</h3><h3>x=0.5, y=0.48;</h3><h3>x=0.25, y=0.96;</h3><h3>x=2, y=0.12</h3>Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the area is 0.24 square meter
The area of a rectangle is given by
square units
Let x be the length and y be the width.
Since the area is 0.24 square meter, we have the equation:
, with x and y measures in meters
If we want to know some possibilities of x and y, we can assume a value for one of them, and then calculate the other one using the equation.
Now choosing some values for "x", we have:
Put x = 1
∴ y = 0.24
Now put x = 0.5 we get
∴ y = 0.48
Put x = 0.25
∴ y = 0.96
Put x = 2
∴ y = 0.12
The marked angles are opposite angles, and as such they have the same measure. So, we have
Subtract 2a and 11 from both sides to get
Divide both sides by 4 to get
Now that we know the value of a, we can compute the measure of the angles. We can also verify that the solution we found is correct by verifying that both expressions actually give the same result:
