<h2>Answer:</h2>

The expression which represents the perimeter P of the rectangle as a function of L is:

          Perimeter=2(L+\sqrt{100-L^2})

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

The length and width of a rectangle are denoted by L and W respectively.

Also the diagonal of a rectangle is: 10 inches.

We know that the diagonal of a rectangle in terms of L and W are given by:

10=\sqrt{L^2+W^2}

( Since, the diagonal of a rectangle act as a hypotenuse of the right angled triangle and we use the Pythagorean Theorem )

Hence, we have:

10^2=L^2+W^2\\\\i.e.\\\\W^2=100-L^2\\\\W=\pm \sqrt{100-L^2}

But we know that width can't be negative. It has to be greater than 0.

Hence, we have:

W=\sqrt{100-L^2}

Now, we know that the Perimeter of a rectangle is given by:

Perimeter=2(L+W)

Here we have:

Perimeter=2(L+\sqrt{100-L^2})

56+34=n+30? Do you add 56+34 =90-30=60 n=60?
slamgirl [31]

You're on the right track. Start by combining like terms on the left side of the equation by adding 56 and 34.

90 = n + 30, now subtract 30 from both sides of the equation to isolate the variable n.

60 = n is the answer.
