The length is 12 cm more than its width . Find the area of the rectangle if it's perimeter is 100 cm

1 answer:

6 0

Let's say the width is (x) and the width is (x+12). The formula for a perimeter of a rectangle equals 2w + 2l, which would then for this problem be 100=2(x) + 2(x+12) which would distribute as 2x + 2x + 12 which equals 4x+12. When you subtract twelve from 100 you get 88=4x. Divide 88 by 4 and you get x=22. This then would mean the width is 22 and the length is 34. The formula for an area of a rectangle is w*l. Plug in the numbers that you figure out from the area formula and you get 22x34=748

Maria can clean the entire house in two hours. Her sister, Sasha, can clean the house in three hours. How long would it take for

MAXImum [283]

72 minutes

We require their hourly rate of work

Maria cleans $\frac{1}{2}$ the house in 1 hour

Sasha cleans $\frac{1}{3}$ of the house in 1 hour

let x be the time it takes both to clean the house

$\frac{1}{2}$ + $\frac{1}{3}$ = $\frac{1}{x}$

multiply through by 6x

3x + 2x = 6

5x = 6 ⇒ x = $\frac{6}{5}$

Together they can clean the house in 72 minutes
