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

Find the value of cos 28°​cos 62°​– sin 28°​sin 62°​
Romashka [77]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

cos 28°​cos 62°​– sin 28°​sin 62°​ = 0

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

From one of the trigonometric identities stated as follows;

<em>cos(A+B) = cosAcosB - sinAsinB             -----------------(i)</em>

We can apply such identity to solve the given expression.

<em>Given:</em>

cos 28°​cos 62°​– sin 28°​sin 62°​

<em>Comparing the given expression with the right hand side of equation (i), we see that;</em>

A = 28°

B = 62°

<em>∴ Substitute these values into equation (i) to have;</em>

<em>⇒ cos(28°+62°) = cos28°cos62° - sin28°sin62°</em>

<em />

<em>Solve the left hand side.</em>

<em>⇒ cos(90°) = cos28°cos62° - sin28°sin62°</em>

⇒ 0 = <em>cos28°cos62° - sin28°sin62°     (since cos 90° = 0)</em>

<em />

<em>Therefore, </em>

<em>cos28°cos62° - sin28°sin62° = 0</em>

<em />

<em />
