Length of a rectangle is 5 cm longer than the width. four squares are constructed outside the rectangle such that each of the squares share one side with the rectangle. the total area of the constructed figure is 120 cm2. what is the perimeter of the rectangle?

The perimeter of rectangle is

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x-----> the length of the rectangle

y----> the width of the rectangle

we know that

----> equation A

---> equation B (area of the constructed figure)

substitute the equation A in equation B

using a graphing calculator -----> solve the quadratic equation

The solution is

Find the value of x

Find the perimeter of rectangle

Perimeter of rectangle = 38 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that, Length of a rectangle is 5 cm longer than the width.

Let 'x' be the width then length = x + 5

Area of of rectangle = x(x + 5)

One side of square = ( x+ 5)/4

Area of all squares = [(x +5)/4]² * 4 = (x + 5)²/4

To find the value of x

Total area = 120 cm²

Area of of rectangle + Area of all squares  = 120

x(x + 5) + (x + 5)²/4 = 120

x² + 5x + (x² + 10x + 25)/4 = 120

4x² + 20x + x² + 10x + 25 = 120 * 4

x² + 6x + 5  = 24 * 4

x² + 6x - 96 =0

x = 7

To find the perimeter of rectangle

width = x = 7

Length = x + 5 = 7 + 5 = 12

Perimeter = 2(length + width) = 2(7 + 12) = 38 cm

i think is 3 and 6. this took me 10 min to think.hope to and hope that my answer is brainliest.(follow me )

0.16 or 16%

step-by-step explanation:

lets take a coin for example.

if you toss it twice, it has a 1/4 chance of landing on heads both times because 1/2 * 1/2 is 1/4.

with the cards, the chance of picking dog is 0.4. having two people pick one is like picking a card twice in a row. so 0.4 * 0.4 is 0.16, or 16%
