solomonzelman · Answer

use  a²+b²=c²   to find the bottom and the top side.

solomonzelman · Answer

a²+14²=50²    →   a=√(50²-14²)    →    a=√(2500-196)     →    a=√2304   →    48.

solomonzelman · Answer

So, you know that 
l=48
w=14

solomonzelman · Answer

P = (48 + 14) × 2

anonymous · Answer

so the perimeter is 124
Area would be 672

solomonzelman · Answer

Yes, that is totally correct. Sorry for a late reply.
