a rectangle figure has length 3x-y and 2x+y and width is 2x-3 and perimeter of rectangle is 120 cm. find the area of rectangle and values of x and y involving simultaneous equation. plxx help....
Wait, is this a three dimensional shape or 2 dimensional? Because a rectangle can't have 2 different lengths...
this rectangle has 2 different lengths
here we have 3x-y= 2x+y or x= 2y given 3x-y + 2x+y +2(2x-3) = 120 5x +4x -6 =120 9x = 126 x= 126/9 x=34
this isnt correct answer the value of x is14cm and y is 7 cm and the area is 875 cm square did u involve smultaneous equation? i know the answers not the procedure... i will give u the shape wait
|dw:1404295043209:dw|
the procedure of matricked is correct,. may be its typo for the value of x..
yup you are correct here i claculated wrong x= 126/9 x=34 but actually x=126/9 =14 hence y=14/2 =7
x=14 y= x/2 =14/2 = 7 thus width = 2*14 -3 = 28-3 =25
y u subtracted 3 when finding the width?
length = 3*14-7 =35 hence reqd area = 35*25 = 875
can u help me understand it? plx
@Luckyyyy thanks for correcting my claculation error
width is 2x-3 2*14-3 =25
oh yeah and what r the equations? i mean two equations? u did involve simultaneous equation right?
x= 2y 3x-y + 2x+y +2(2x-3) = 120
3x-y= 2x+y or x= 2y
thnx alotttt i have become your fan now..
