Answer:
The dimensions of the newly formed rectangle is length is 41 cm and width is 9 cm.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
A 1 meter steel rod is bent into a rectangle.
That means the perimeter of the rectangle is 1 meter.
So, Perimeter =
Let the width of the rectangle be 'x'.
Now According to question, length exceeds quadruple its width by 5 cm.
Hence framing the above sentence in equation form, we get;
Now we use the formula of perimeter of rectangle,
On substituting the values, we get;
Now, we substitute the value of x to get the value of length;
Thus, Width=9 cm Length=41 cm
Hence the dimensions of the newly formed rectangle is length is 41 cm and width is 9 cm.
Let's say the numbers are "a" and "b"
hmm say "a" is the smaller, and "b" the greater
so "b" is "4 more than 5 times" "a"
so... 5 times "a" is 5*a or 5a
4 more than "that", will be "that" + 4
or
5a + 4
so.. whatever "a" is, "b" is 5a+4
now, their sum is 22, as opposed to "zz" hehe
so
solve for "a", to see what the smaller one is
what's "b"? well, b = 5a + 4
