A rectangle has a length of (x+10) centimeters and a width of x centimeters. If the perimeter is 32 centimeters, what is the len
1 answer:
Given:
Length of rectangle = (x+10) cm
Width of the rectangle = x cm
Perimeter = 32 cm
To find:
The length of the rectangle.
Solution:
We know that,
Where, l is length and w is width.
Substituting the values, we get
Subtract 20 from both sides.
Divide both sides by
So, the length is
Therefore, the length of the rectangle is 13 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:
Directions
- Draw a circle
- Dear a chord with a length of 24 inside the circle. You just have to label it as 24
- Draw a radius that is perpendicular and a bisector through the chord
- Draw a radius that is from the center of the circle to one end of the chord.
- Label where the perpendicular radius to the chord intersect. Call it E.
- You should get something that looks like the diagram below. The only thing you have to do is put in the point E which is the midpoint of CB.
Givens
AC = 13 inches Given
CB = 24 inches Given
CE = 12 inches Construction and property of a midpoint.
So what we have now is a right triangle (ACE) with the right angle at E.
What we seek is AE
Formula
AC^2 = CE^2 + AE^2
13^2 = 12^2 + AE^2
169 = 144 + AE^2 Subtract 144 from both sides.
169 - 144 = 144-144 + AE^2 Combine
25 = AE^2 Take the square root of both sides
√25 = √AE^2
5 = AE
Answer
The 24 inch chord is 5 inches from the center of the circle.
