Answer:

Length of the rectangle is 15.0325 km and width is 0.3765 km.

Explanation:

Given:

Perimeter of a rectangle = 30.8 km

Length of diagonal of rectangle = 11 km

To find:

The length and width of rectangle=?

Solution:

Lets assume length of the rectangle = x km

And assume width of the rectangle = y km

Lets first create equation using given  perimeter

perimeter of rectangle = 2 ( length +  width )

=> 30.8 km = 2 ( x + y )  

=>x + y = \frac{30.8}{2}

=> y = 15.4 – x             ------(1)

As diagonal and two sides of rectangle forms right angle triangle whose hypoteneus is diagonal ,  

=> length^2 + width^2 = diagonal^2

=> x^2 + y^2 = 11^2

=> x^2 + y^2 = 121

On substituting value of y from (1) in above equation we get

=> x^2 + (15.4-x)^2 = 121

=>x^2 + (15.4)^2 + x^2 – 2 x 15.4 \times x   = 121

=> 2x^2-30.8x + 237.16 -121  = 0

=> 2x^2-30.8x + 116.16 = 0

Solving above quadratic equation using quadratic formula

General form of quadratic equation is  

ax^2 +bx +c = 0

And quadratic formula for getting roots of quadratic equation is  

x= \frac{ -b\pm\sqrt{(b^2-4ac)}}{2a}

As equation is 2x^2-30.8x + 116.16 = 0, in our case

a = 2 ,  b = -30.8 and c = 116.16

Calculating roots of the equation we get

x=\frac{ -(-30.8)\pm\sqrt{(-30.8)^2-4(2)( 11)} } {(2\times2)}

x=\frac{30.8\pm\sqrt{(948.64-88)}}{4}

x=\frac{30.8\pm\sqrt{860.64}}{4}

x=\frac{30.8\pm\sqrt{860.64}}{4}

x=\frac{(30.8\pm29.33)}4

x=\frac{(30.8+29.33)}{4}

x=\frac{(30.8-29.33)}{4}

=> x = 15.0325 or x = 0.3675

As generally length is longer one ,  

So x = 1.0325

From equation (1) y = 15.4 – x = 0.3765

Hence length of the rectangle is 15.0325 km and width is 0.3765 km.

Evaluate the following expression if a=-9, b=-7,c=9 and d=3<br> 2cd + 3ab =
stepladder [879]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 243.</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

To evaluate the expression substitute the values of a , b , c and d into the above expression

a = - 9

b = - 7

c = 9

d = 3

So we have

2cd + 3ab = 2(9)(3) + 3(-9)(-7)

= 2(27) + 3( 63)

= 54 + 189

We have the final answer as

<h3>243</h3>

Hope this helps you
