Question

Se tiene un rectángulo cuya base mide el doble que su altura y su área es 12

Answer 1

Answer:

Part 1) The perimeter is  $P=6\sqrt{6}\ cm$

Part 2) The diagonal is $d=\sqrt{30}\ cm$

Step-by-step explanation:

The question in English is

You have a rectangle whose base is twice the height and its area is 12

square centimeters. Calculate the perimeter of the rectangle and its diagonal

step 1

Find the dimensions of rectangle

we know that

The area of rectangle is equal to

$A=bh$

$A=12\ cm^2$

so

$bh=12$ ----> equation A

The base is twice the height

so

$b=2h$ ----> equation B

substitute equation B in equation A

$(2h)h=12\\2h^2=12\\h^2=6\\h=\sqrt{6}\ cm$

Find the value of b

$b=2\sqrt{6}\ cm$

step 2

Find the perimeter of rectangle

The perimeter is given by

$P=2(b+h)$

substitute

$P=2(2\sqrt{6}+\sqrt{6})\\P=6\sqrt{6}\ cm$

step 3

Find the diagonal of rectangle

Applying the Pythagorean Theorem

$d^2=b^2+h^2$

substitute

$d^2=(2\sqrt{6})^2+(\sqrt{6})^2$

$d^2=30$

$d=\sqrt{30}\ cm$
