Answer: 26\ cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a rectangle can be calcualated with this formula:

P=2l+2h

Where "l" is the lenght and "h" is the height.

 The area of a rectangle can be found with this formula:

A=lh

Where "l" is the lenght and "h" is the height.

In this case we know that:

A=40\ cm^2

Therfore, we can susbsitute them into A=lh and solve for "h" in  order to find its value:

40=(h+3)h\\\\40=h^2+3h\\\\h^2+3h-40=0

Find two number whose sum is 3 and whose product is -40. These are -5 and 8. Then, factorizing, we get:

(h-5)(h+8)=0\\\\h_1=5\\\\h_2=-8

The positive value is the height. Then:

h=5\ cm

Since the length is 3 centimeters greater than its height, we get that this is: Then:

l=5\ cm+3\ cm\\\\l=8\ cm

Substituting values into P=2l+2h, we get that the perimeter is:

P=2(8\ cm)+2(5\ cm)\\\\P=26\ cm

The perimeter of a rectangle : <u>26 cm</u>

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

There are several properties possessed by rectangular shapes, namely:

  • 1. each angle is equal and is a right angle
  • 2. the diagonals intersect and divide each other equally
  • 3. the opposite sides have the same length

There are two rectangular shapes namely square and rectangle

Square if all sides are the same length

The formula used in rectangular is:

  • 1.Area

Rectangle

Area (A) = l x h

h = height

l = length

Square

Area (A) = a²

a = length of side

  • 2. perimeter

Rectangle

Perimeter = P = 2 (l + h)

h = height

l = length

Square

P = 4 x a

a = length of side

length is 3 cm greater than its height

we translate this sentence into Algebraic expressions

<em>l = 3 + h</em>

Then :

Area = l x h

Area = (3+h)h

40 = 3h+h²

h²+3h-40 = 0

<em>factorizing ⇒ (h-5)(h+8)=0</em>

h1 = 5 and h2 = -8

we take positive values h1 = 5

l = 3 + h

l = 3 + 5

l = 8

the perimeter of a rectangle :

\rm P=2(l+h)\Rightarrow P=2(8+5)\\\\P=2(13)\Rightarrow P=\boxed{\bold{26}}

Which of the following rational number between 3/7 and 7/8 ?
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two ways to do this. You could use your calculator to find out the decimal numbers that are equivalent to the two given fractions. Then check which one of the givens falls between these two numbers. I wouldn't do it that way -- not when you are told that the answer has 56 as the denominator.  So ...

The best way to do it is to change the two givens so that they have a denominator of 56

3/7 = 3*8/7*8 = 24 / 56

7*7 / 7*8 = 49 / 46

So you need a number that is between 49 and 24

There is only one 27 / 56
