Algebra.Com's Answer #122284 by oscargut(2103)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let x= square's side \n" ); document.write( "Let y=length of the rectangle \n" ); document.write( "Let z=width of the rectangle\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the perimeter of a square and a rectangle are equal \n" ); document.write( "then 4x=2(y+z) \n" ); document.write( "The length of the rectangle is 11cm \n" ); document.write( "then y=11 \n" ); document.write( "area of the square is 4cm^2 more than the area of the rectangle \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so the system to solve is:\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "then \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "then \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "then\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " x=13 or x=9\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "if x=9 then z=18-11=7 \n" ); document.write( "if x=13 then z=26-11=15\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "then z=7 or z=15 but z \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " |
