Marks books has an area of 48 in.². The perimeter of the book is 52 inches. what are the dimensions of the book
1 answer:
Answer:
dimensions of the book are 2 in. by 24 in.
Step-by-step explanation:
I assume the book is a rectangle
Let w = the width
l = the length
A = lw = 48 P = 2w + 2l = 52
w + l = 26
l = 26 - w
w(26-w) =48
26w - = 48
(w-2)(w -24) = 0
w = 2 or w = 24
if w = 2, then l = 26 - 2 = 24
if w = 24, then l = 26 - 24 = 2
So, the dimensions of the book are 2 in. by 24 in.

The measures of the angles don't change when you translate a figure, because the entire figure is moving as a whole. Imagine having a paper parallelogram, moving it around and flipping it over. Not even dilations would change these angles (for reasons that can be pretty easily visualed but not really proven until geometry)
