<h2>PERIMETER</h2>

\rm\large{Hi!!}

<h3>PROBLEM: </h3>

  • The table below lists the widths of four rectangles each with an area of 72 cm².

Rectangle 1 : 6 cm (width)

Rectangle 2 : 8 cm (width)

Rectangle 3 : 10 cm (width)

Rectangle 4 : 18 cm (width)

Which of the four rectangle has the smallest perimeter?

\huge\purple{\overline{\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad \ \ \ }}

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ

<h3>ANSWER and SOLUTION:</h3>

  • Now, to be able to determine <em>what </em><em>rectangle</em><em> </em><em>has</em><em> </em><em>the </em><em>smallest</em><em> </em><em>perimeter</em><em>,</em><em> </em>we have to get the perimeter of all rectangles.

FORMULA TO BE USED: P = 2(l+w)

Now that we have the formula, Let's Solve!!

\huge\purple{\overline{\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad \ \ \ }}

CALCULATION FOR RECTANGLE 1:

Given:

  • Length = 72
  • Width = 6

Formula:

  • P = 2(l+w)

Substitution:

  • P = 2(72+6)
  • P = 2(78)
  • P= 156

  • The <u>perimeter of Rectangle 1 is 156.</u>

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ

CALCULATION FOR RECTANGLE 2:

Given:

  • Length = 72
  • Width = 8

Formula:

  • P = 2(l+w)

Substitution:

  • P = 2(72+8)
  • P = 2(180)
  • P = 160

  • The <u>perimeter of Rectangle 2 is 160.</u>

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ

CALCULATION FOR RECTANGLE 3:

Given:

  • Length = 72
  • Width = 10

Formula:

  • P = 2(l+w)

Substitution:

  • P = 2(72+10)
  • P = 2(82)
  • P = 164

  • The <u>perimeter of Rectangle 3 is 164.</u>

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ

CALCULATION FOR RECTANGLE 4:

Given:

  • Length = 72
  • Width = 18

Formula:

  • P = 2(l+w)

Substitution:

  • P = 2(72+18)
  • P = 2(90)
  • P = 180

  • The <u>perimeter</u><u> </u><u>of </u><u>Rectangle </u><u>4</u><u> </u><u>is </u><u>1</u><u>8</u><u>0</u><u>.</u>

\huge\purple{\overline{\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad \ \ \ }}

<h3>NOW, LET'S SUMMARIZE THE PERIMETER OF EVERY RECTANGLE^^</h3>

  • Rectangle 1 = 156
  • Rectangle 2 = 160
  • Rectangle 3 = 164
  • Rectangle 4 = 180

Now, among all of these four rectangles, which one is the smallest? Yes, <u>the one that has the smallest perimeter is the Rectangle 1</u>.

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ

Again, the final answer is <u>A. Rectangle 1</u>.

The product of 2 consecutive #s is 4160 what are the numbers?
KengaRu [80]
So the so the product of two consecutive numbers is 4160 or
x(x+1)=4160
distribute
x^2+x=4160
subtract 4160 from both sides
x^2+x-4160=0
find the factor (if you want to know how, just ask in the comments)
(x-64)(x+65)=0
so the answer is x could be 64 or -65
so the number that work are 64,65 and -65,-64

A Triangle has an angle that measures 137.3 degrees. The other two angles are in a ratio of 3:4. What are the measures of those
Andreyy89
So we start off by subtracting 137.3 from 180 getting 42.5. If you add the ratios up (3+4) you get 7 and 7 should equal 42.5. thus,

42.5/7= 85/14

(85/14)*3=18.2 or (255/14 to be exact)
(85/14)*4= 24.29 or (170/7 to be exact)
