Find the perimeter of a rectangle whose length is 3 cm greater than its height, and whose area is 40 cm².

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a rectangle can be calcualated with this formula:

Where "l" is the lenght and "h" is the height.

 The area of a rectangle can be found with this formula:

Where "l" is the lenght and "h" is the height.

In this case we know that:

Therfore, we can susbsitute them into and solve for "h" in  order to find its value:

Find two number whose sum is 3 and whose product is -40. These are -5 and 8. Then, factorizing, we get:

The positive value is the height. Then:

Since the length is 3 centimeters greater than its height, we get that this is: Then:

Substituting values into , we get that the perimeter is:

The perimeter of a rectangle : 26 cm

There are several properties possessed by rectangular shapes, namely:

There are two rectangular shapes namely square and rectangle

Square if all sides are the same length

The formula used in rectangular is:

Rectangle

Area (A) = l x h

h = height

l = length

Square

Area (A) = a²

a = length of side

Rectangle

Perimeter = P = 2 (l + h)

h = height

l = length

Square

P = 4 x a

a = length of side

length is 3 cm greater than its height

we translate this sentence into Algebraic expressions

l = 3 + h

Then :

Area = l x h

Area = (3+h)h

40 = 3h+h²

h²+3h-40 = 0

factorizing ⇒ (h-5)(h+8)=0

h1 = 5 and h2 = -8

we take positive values h1 = 5

l = 3 + h

l = 3 + 5

l = 8
