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....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wait, is this a three dimensional shape or 2 dimensional? Because a rectangle can't have 2 different lengths...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this rectangle has 2 different lengths

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the procedure of matricked is correct,. may be its typo for the value of x..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup you are correct here i claculated wrong x= 126/9 x=34 but actually x=126/9 =14 hence y=14/2 =7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x=14 y= x/2 =14/2 = 7 thus width = 2*14 -3 = 28-3 =25

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y u subtracted 3 when finding the width?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

length = 3*14-7 =35 hence reqd area = 35*25 = 875

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can u help me understand it? plx

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Luckyyyy thanks for correcting my claculation error

OpenStudy (anonymous):

width is 2x-3 2*14-3 =25

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh yeah and what r the equations? i mean two equations? u did involve simultaneous equation right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x= 2y 3x-y + 2x+y +2(2x-3) = 120

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3x-y= 2x+y or x= 2y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thnx alotttt i have become your fan now..
