Answer:

The length of the rectangle is 13 inches and its width (13 + 12) is 25 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to consider the formula of the perimeter = 2·length + 2·width.

If we call "x" to the length ⇒ width = x + 12 .

Perimeter = 2x + 2·(x + 12) ⇒ Perimeter = 2x + 2x + 24

⇒Perimeter = 4x + 24. ⇒ 76 = 4x + 24 ⇒ 76 - 24 = 4x ⇒52 = 4x

⇒ 52/4 = x ⇒ x = 13.

So, the length of the rectangle is 13 inches and its width (13 + 12) is 25 inches.

15. In the drawing, find the perimeter of triangle BIS.<br>​
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

29.86 units

Step-by-step explanation:

In the triangle BIS, IT is the bisector of angle BIS,

BI \cong ST.... (given) \\

Let BI = ST = x... (1)

By angle bisector property of a triangle, we have:

\frac{BI}{IS} = \frac{BT}{ST}.... (2)\\\\\frac{x}{12} = \frac{4}{x}\\\\x\times x = 12\times 4\\\\x^2 = 48\\\\x=\sqrt{48}\\\\x = 6.92820323\\\\x = 6.93\\

Therefore,

BI = ST =6.93

Perimeter of triangle BIS

= BI + IS + ST + BT

= 6.93 + 12 + 6.93 + 4

= 29.86 units
