<em>The length of the square that has the same perimeter as the rectangle is of length 6cm and area of 48cm² is 7cm</em>

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Let's call:

$A_{s}:Area \ of \ square \\ \\ A_{r}:Area \ of \ rectangle \\ \\ P_{s}:Perimeter \ of \ square \\ \\ P_{r}:Perimeter \ of \ rectangle$

From the question, we know that:

<em>A rectangle and a square have the same perimeter.</em>

So:

$P_{s}=P_{r}$

Moreover:

<em>The rectangle is of length 6cm and has an area of 48cm²</em>

Accordingly:

$For \ Rectangle: \\ \\ L:Length \\ W:Width \\ \\ A_{r}=L\times W \\ \\ 48=6W \\ \\ W=8$

Also:

$A_{s}=s^2 \\ \\ S:Side \ of \ square$

From the statement of perimeters:

$P_{s}=P_{r} \\ \\ \\ But: \\ \\ P_{s}=4s \\ \\ P_{r}=2W+2L \\ \\ \\ Then: \\ \\ 4s=2W+2L \\ \\ \\ But: \ W=8 \ and \ L=6 \\ \\ 4s=2(8)+2(6) \\ \\ 4s=16+12 \\ \\ 4s=28 \\ \\ \boxed{s=7cm}$

Finally, <em>the length of the square that has the same perimeter as the rectangle is of length 6cm and area of 48cm² is 7cm</em>

Find the length of the altitude to the hypotenuse. round the answer to the nearest tenth, if needed.

Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer : The correct option is, (B) 56.8

Step-by-step explanation :

Right Triangle Altitude Theorem:

The measure of altitude drawn from the vertex of the right angle of a right angled triangle to its hypotenuse is the geometric mean between the measures of the two segments of the hypotenuse.

We are drawing a line from vertex to hypotenuse side.

As per theorem:

$\frac{BD}{AB}=\frac{CB}{AC}$
