the area of a rectangle is 42 square inches and one side is 12 inches long . find the perimeter of the rectangle

1 answer:

6 0

The area is one side times the other side
Make the other side x.
12x=42
x=42/12=3.5
The perimeter is 2x+2y where x and y are sides of the rectangle.
P= 2(3.5)+2(12)=7+24=31 inches
Hope this helps.

The figures below are made out of circles, semicircles, quarter circles, and a square. Find the area and the perimeter of each f

WITCHER [35]

Answer:

Part 1) $A=36(\pi-2)\ cm^2$

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

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The picture of the question in the attached figure</em></u>

Part 1) Find the area

we know that

The area of the shape is equal to the area of a quarter of circle minus the area of an isosceles right triangle

$A=\frac{1}{4}\pi r^{2}-\frac{1}{2}(b)(h)$

we have that the base and the height of triangle is equal to the radius of the circle

$r=12\ cm\\b=12\ cm\\h=12\ cm$

substitute

$A=\frac{1}{4}\pi (12)^{2}-\frac{1}{2}(12)(12)\\A=(36\pi-72)\ cm^2$

simplify

Factor 36

$A=36(\pi-2)\ cm^2$

Part 2) Find the perimeter

The perimeter of the figure is equal to the circumference of a quarter of circle plus the hypotenuse of the right triangle

The circumference of a quarter of circle is equal to

$C=\frac{1}{4}(2\pi r)=\frac{1}{2}\pi r$

substitute the given values

$C=\frac{1}{2}\pi (12)\\C=6\pi\ cm$

Applying the Pythagorean Theorem

The hypotenuse of right triangle is equal to

$AC=\sqrt{12^2+12^2}\\AC=\sqrt{288}\ cm$

simplify

$AC=12\sqrt{2}\ cm$

Find the perimeter

$P=(6\pi+12\sqrt{2})\ cm$

simplify

Factor 6

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

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$\alpha+\beta=\dfrac{5}{2} \\\\\alpha*\beta=\dfrac{1}{2} \\\\\alpha^2+\beta^2=\dfrac{21}{4} \ (see\ previous\ post)\\\\(\alpha+\beta)^4=\dfrac{625}{16} \\\\=\alpha^4+\beta^4+4*\alpha^3*\beta+6*\alpha^2*\beta^2+4*\alpha*\beta^3\\\\=\alpha^4+\beta^4+4*(\alpha*\beta)(\alpha^2+\beta^2)+6*\alpha^2*\beta^2\\\\\alpha^4+\beta^4=(\alpha+\beta)^4-4*(\alpha*\beta)(\alpha^2+\beta^2)-6*\alpha^2*\beta^2\\\\= \dfrac{625}{16} -4*\dfrac{1}{2} *\dfrac{21}{4} -6*(\dfrac{1}{2})^2 \\\\$
