Answer:

The perimeter of the rectangle = 18 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

* The figure consists of one rectangle and four squares

* Lets put the dimensions of the rectangle and the four squares

- The width of the rectangle is x

∵ The length of the rectangle is 5 cm longer than the width

∴ The length of the rectangle is x + 5

∵ Area the rectangle = L × W

∴ Area rectangle = x(x + 5) = x² + 5x ⇒ (1)

* There are four squares constructed each in one side

  of the rectangle

- Two squares constructed on the length of the rectangle

∴ The length of the sides of the squares = x + 5

∵ Area the square = S²

∴ Its area = (x + 5)² ⇒ use the foil method

∴ Its area = x² + 10x + 25

∵ They are two squares

∴ Its area = 2x² + 20x + 50 ⇒ (2)

- Two squares constructed on the width of the rectangle

∴ The length of the sides of the squares = x

∴ Its area = x²

∵ They are two squares

∴ Its area = 2x² ⇒ (3)

- Area rectangle = x(x + 5) = x² + 5x ⇒ (3)

* Now lets make the equation of the area of the figure by

 adding (1) , (2) and (3)

∴ The area of the figure = 2x² + 20x + 50 + 2x² + x² + 5x  

                                         = 5x² + 25x + 50⇒ (4)

∵ The area of the figure = 120 cm² ⇒ (5)

* Put (4) = (5)

∴ 5x² + 25x + 50 = 120 ⇒subtract 120 from both sides

∴ 5x² + 25x +50 - 120 = 0 ⇒ add the like term

∴ 5x² + 25x -70 = 0 ⇒ divide both sides by 5

∴ x² + 5x - 14 = 0 ⇒ factorize it to find the value of x

∴ (x - 2)(x + 7) = 0

* Lets equate each bracket by 0

∴ (x - 2) = 0 ⇒ x = 2

∴ (x + 7) = 0 ⇒ x = -7 ⇒ rejected no -ve side length

∴ x = 2

* Now lets find the dimensions of the rectangle

∵ Length rectangle = x + 5

∴ Length rectangle = 2 + 5 = 7 cm

∴ Width rectangle = 2

∵ The perimeter of the rectangle = 2(L + W)

∴ The perimeter of the rectangle = 2(2 + 7) = 18 cm

* The perimeter of the rectangle = 18 cm

Answer:

The perimeter of rectangle is 18\ cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x-----> the length of the rectangle

y----> the width of the rectangle

we know that

x=y+5 ----> equation A

120=xy+2x^{2}+2y^{2}  ---> equation B (area of the constructed figure)

substitute the equation A in equation B

120=(y+5)y+2(y+5)^{2}+2y^{2}

120=(y+5)y+2(y+5)^{2}+2y^{2}\\ 120=y^{2}+5y+2(y^{2}+10y+25)+2y^{2}\\ 120=y^{2}+5y+2y^{2}+20y+50+2y^{2}\\120=5y^{2}+25y+50\\5y^{2}+25y-70=0

using a graphing calculator -----> solve the quadratic equation

The solution is

y=2\ cm

Find the value of x

x=y+5 ----> x=2+5=7\ cm

Find the perimeter of rectangle

P=2(x+y)=2(7+2)=18\ cm

What is the longest line segment that can be drawn in a right rectangular prism that is 14cm​ long, 13cm​ wide, and 11cm​ tall?
vlabodo [156]

The longest line segment that can be drawn in a right rectangular prism that is 14cm long, 13cm wide and 11cm tall is 19.1cm.

<h3>What is a right rectangular prism?</h3>

A right rectangular prism is a three dimensional solid shape formed by 6 rectangles.

it is also called the cuboid.

Analysis:

The diagonal of the face of the prism with dimensions 14cm long and 13cm wide is the longest line segment that can be drawn.

Since rectangles have 90° on each vertex, we can use Pythagoras theorem to calculate for the length of the diagonal.

(diagonal)^{2} = (length)^{2} + (width)^{2}

(diagonal)^{2} = (14)^{2} + (13)^{2}

                 = 196 + 169 = 365

 (diagonal)^{2} = 365

diagonal = \sqrt{365} = 19.1cm

In conclusion, the length of the longest diameter is 19.1cm

What is the distributive property to expand the algebraic expression.5(2f - 6g)
Gnoma [55]

Answer:

10f-30g

Step-by-step explanation:

we have:

5(2f - 6g)

we apply distributive property:

5(2f - 6g)

5*2f+5*(-6g)

finally we have:

10f-30g

Emily is picking strawberries at a speed of 3 strawberries per second. Her little sister Sophia joins Emily when there are 20 st
Zina [86]

Answer:

6 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the information from the problem, if Emily continues to pick 3 strawberries per second while Sophia eats 5 strawberries per second, then the amount of strawberries will decrease at a rate of 2 strawberries per second. Therefore, we can find the answer by subtracting 2 from 20 until we get to 8. Since we subtract 2 six times, the answer is 6. Hope this makes sense!
