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.

Which problem would you use the following proportion to solve for? = what is 40% of 24? what percent is 24 of 40? twenty-four is
ser-zykov [4K]
First you have to remember that to find a percentage you can multiply a number by the percentage's decimal form, for example 40% of 100 would be .40 * 100.
Anyways, 24*.40 =9.6.
To find the percentage however, you must divide 24/40 which equals 0.6, which is equal to the percentage 60%.
To find the third question, you must multiply 24 by 2.5 (0.4 * 2.5 = 1) and you should get 60.
The last question you may have made a typo on, you repeated the first question.

what is the area and perimeter of the figure with the given vertices? (7,8) , (-5, -8) , (7,-8) , (-5,8)?
MArishka [77]

Answer:

  • perimeter: 56 units
  • area: 192 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume you're interested in the convex polygon, so the given vertices are <em>not</em> listed in order around the figure.

The figure is 12 units by 16 units, so has a perimeter of ...

  P = 2(L +W)

  P = 2(16 +12) = 56 . . . . units

and an area of ...

  A = LW

  A = (16)(12) = 192 . . . . square units
