Let its sides be x and x -5:-
So: x*(x-5) = 18.75
Or: x^2 -5x -18.75 = 0
Solving the above quadratic equation gives x a positive value of 7.5
Therefore: length = 7.5 cm and width = 7.5 -5 => 2.5 cm
Perimeter of rectangle: 2*(7.5+2.5) = 20 cm
The perimeter of any rectangle is [ 2 x (length + width) ]. Since the length and width of a square are equal, the perimeter of a square is also [ 2 x (side + side) ] = (4 x side).
What is a rectangle were the area is 10 and the perimeter
The perimeter of a rectangle cannot be calculated by just knowing the area unless the rectangle is a square. In which case the perimeter will be 4 x square root of the area.
What are the dimensions of a rectangle that has a perimeter of 56 units and an area of 96 square units
Perimeter of [ 16 x 26 ] rectangle = 16 + 16 + 26 + 26 = 84-ft . Perimeter of a 20-ft square = 4 x 20 = 80-ft . The rectangle has the greater perimeter.
the area of a rectangleis 100 square inches. The perimeter of the rectangle is 40 inches. A second rectangle has the same area but a different perimeter. Is the secind rectangle a square? Explain why or why not.
The area doesn't tell you the dimensions or the perimeter. It doesn't even tell you the shape. The shortest perimeter that could enclose that area would be a circle. The shortest perimeter with straight sides would be a square. If it's a rectangle, then there are an infinite number of them, all with different dimensions and different perimeters, that all have the same area.

40 meters.
yes
The perimeter of any rectangle is [ 2 x (length + width) ]. Since the length and width of a square are equal, the perimeter of a square is also [ 2 x (side + side) ] = (4 x side).
Square is a special case of a rectangle and the same formula may be used to find the perimeter
What is a rectangle were the area is 10 and the perimeter
If the rectangle is a square, the perimeter is 48 cm. If not, there are a lot of possibilities.
Find the average of the two sides (Longest length plus shortest length. Divide this addition by 2). Multiply the result by its height (which is the distance between the longest side and the shortest side).
no
The perimeter is 35.78 inches.
