Answer:

Dimension => 10 m × 9.6 m

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Area (A) = 96 m²

Circumference (C) = 39.2 m

Dimension =.?

Next, we shall determine the Lenght and breadth of the rectangle. This can be obtained as follow:

Let L be the Lenght

Let B be the breadth

Area of a rectangle = L × B

96 = L × B ..... (1)

Circumference of rectangle = 2(L + B)

39.2 = 2(L + B) .... (2)

From equation 2, make L the subject

39.2 = 2(L + B)

Divide both side by 2

39.2 /2 = L + B

19.6 = L + B

Rearrange

L = 19.6 – B ....(3)

Substitute the value of L in equation 3 into equation 1

96 = L × B

L = 19.6 – B

96 = (19.6 – B ) × B

Clear bracket

96 = 19.6B – B²

Rearrange

B² – 19.6B + 96 = 0

Solving by factorisation

B² – 10B – 9.6B + 96 = 0

B(B – 10) – 9.6(B – 10) = 0

(B – 9.6)(B – 10) = 0

B – 9.6 = 0 or B – 10 = 0

B = 9.6 or B = 10

Substitute the value of B into equation 3:

L = 19.6 – B

B = 9.6

L = 19.6 – 9.6

L = 10

Or

L = 19.6 – B

B = 10

L = 19.6 – 10

L = 9.6

Since the length is always longer than the breadth,

Length (L) = 10 m

Breadth (B) = 9.6 m

Finally, we shall determine the dimension of the rectangle. This can be obtained as follow:

Length (L) = 10 m

Breadth (B) = 9.6 m

Dimension =?

Dimension = L × B

Dimension = 10 m × 9.6 m

2x + 3 + 4x + 8 = 3x - 10
vodomira [7]

\text {Hello! Let's solve this Equation!}

\text {Your First Step is to Simplify the Equation:}

\text {(2x+4x)+(8+3)}

\text {6x+11=3x-10}

\text {The Next Step is to Subtract 3x:}

\text {6x+11-3x=3x-10-3x}\\\text {3x+11=-10}

\text {Next Step is to Subtract 11:}

\text {Q: Why Subtract 11?}

\text {A: So they cancel out. We cross them out once we subtract.}

\text {3x+11-11=-10-11}\\\text {3x=-21}

\text {The Final Step is to Divide 3:}

\text {3x/3=-21/3}

\text {Your Answer will be}

\fbox {x=-7}

\text {Best of Luck!}
