Answer:

32 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

height = x

length = x+4

x(x+4)=60

x^2 +4x=60

make it into quadratic formula

x^2 + 4x - 60 =0

a=1

b=-4

c=-60

4^2-4*1*(-66)

discriminant equals to 256

square root of 256 equals to 16

x=-4+16/2 = 6

x=-4-16/2 = -10

we will use 6

length is x+4 so 6+4 = 10

width is x = 6

10 plus 10 = 20

6 plus 6= 12

20+12=32 cm

Answer:

Perimeter of the rectangle =  32 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>Explanation</em></u>:-

Let the height of the rectangle = 'x' cm

Thus the length of the rectangle = x + 4 cm

Perimeter of the rectangle = 2 ( length + height )

Area of the rectangle = length X height

Given area of the rectangle = 60 cm²

( length X height ) = 60

( x + 4) x  =60

 x² + 4 x - 60 =0

 x² + 10 x- 6 x - 60 =0

x ( x+10) - 6 ( x + 10 ) =0

(x+10) ( x -6 ) = 0

x = -10  and x =6

<u><em>we can choose x =6</em></u>

The height of the rectangle(H) = 'x' = 6 cm

The length of the rectangle (L)= 6 + 4 = 10cm

Perimeter of the rectangle = 2 ( length + height )

                                           = 2 ( 10 + 6 )

                                          = 32 cm

∴ Perimeter of the rectangle = 32 cm

Answer: The constant proportionality is 5/4

Step-by-step explanation: The constant of proportionality k is given by k=y/x where y and x are two quantities that are directly proportional to each other. Once you know the constant of proportionality you can find an equation representing the directly proportional relationship between x and y, namely y=kx, with your specific k.
