Question

Find the perimeter of the rectangle.

104

26

52

208

Answer 1

P = 124 inches

Explanation:

We will need to use the Pythagorean theorem to find the bottom of the rectangle.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

14^2 + b^2 = 50^2

196 + b^2 = 2500

Subtract 196 from each side

b^2 = 2500 -196

b^2 =2304

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(b^2) =sqrt(2304)

b=48

The perimeter is equal to

P =2(l+w)

P =2(14+48)

= 2(62)

= 124
