Sum of length and breadth e is 14 Area is 48 find diagonal
Answers
let x and y be the sides of the rectangle.
Then the area is xy = 48
By Pythagoras’s theorem, x^2 + y^2 = 10^2 = 100
Then (x + y)^2 = x^2 + y^2 + 2xy = 100 + 2*48 = 196
So the perimeter is 2(x + y) = 2 sqrt(196) = 28
Given:
- We have been given rectangle whose area is 48cm²
- Sum of length and breadth of rectangle is 48cm²
To Find:
- We have to find the measure of diagonal of the given rectangle
Solution:
Let the length of rectangle = x
Breadth of rectangle = y
According to the Question
x + y = 14
y = ( 14 - x ) _______( 1 )
_________________________________
Also we have
Area = 48 cm²
(Length) x (Breadth) = 48 cm²
xy = 48 cm²
Putting value of y from equation ( 1 )
x ( 14 - x ) = 48
14x - x² = 48
x² - 14x + 48 = 0
Solving the Equation using Middle Term Splitting Method
x² - 8x - 6x + 48 = 0
x ( x - 8 ) - 6 ( x - 8 ) = 0
( x - 8 ) ( x - 6 ) = 0
Hence Either x = 8 or x = 6
_______________________________
y = 14 - x
y = 14 - 8
y = 14 - 6
_______________________________
Either x = 8 and y = 6 or Vice Versa
Let the Diagonal of rectangle = D cm
Using Pythagoras Theorm
( D )² = ( x )² + ( y )²
D² = ( 8 )² + ( 6 )²
D² = 64 + 36
D² = 100
Taking square root on both sides
D =
Diagonal of Rectangle is 10 cm
