The perimeter of a rectangle is 128 cm, and the ratio of its sides is 5: 3. Find the area of a rectangle
1 answer:
Answer:
Area = 960 cm^2
Step-by-step explanation:
Perimeter (P) = 2 (l + w)
P = 2l + 2w
Let the length be 5x
Let the width be 3x
From the question, P = 128.
Therefore:
128 = 2l + 2w
Divide both sides by 2.
l + w = 64
Recall we said:
l = 5x
w = 3x
So then:
5x + 3x = 64
8x = 64
Divide both sides by 8
x = 64/8
x = 8.
Since x = 8
Length = 5x = 5*8 = 40cm
Width =3x = 3 * 8 = 24cm
Area of a RECTANGLE:
Area = length * width
Area = 40 * 24
Area = 960 cm^2

Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:
On the picture above.
The equations
and
are really the same, we're just setting 
, or 
.
So we get
(x+4)(x+4+1) = (x+1)(x+1+11)
(x+4)(x+5) = (x+1)(x+12)
x^2 + 4x+5x+20=x^2+x+12x+12
9x + 20 = 13x + 12
13x-9x = 20-12
4x = 8
x = 2
