GEOMETRIC PROBLEM 1. The length of a rectangle is 15 cm. longer than its width. When its width is increased by 3 cm.

and its length is decreased by 5 cm, the area of the new rectangle is 20 cm2 bigger than the original rectangle. Find the dimensions of the original rectangle. di ako sure sa number one pero sa number two and three sure ako. x=width x+15=length (x+3)(x+15-5)=20+(x+15)(x) X2 + 13x+30=20+x2+15x X=5 X+15=20

2.

The length of the rectangle is 3 more than 2 times the width. The perimeter is 66 m. Find the length and the width of the rectangle. let x = width in meter 66m = 2 ( 2x +3 m ) + 2x = 10m ( the width ) 2x + 3 = length in meter ( 10m ) + 3m = length formula : P = 2 l + 2w 20m + 3m = length 23m = length 60 m / 6 = x 66m = 4x +6 m+ 2x 66 m = 6x + 6m 66m 6m = 6x 2

3. In a rectangle, the length is 12 cm longer than its width. If the perimeter of the rectangle is 84 cm, what are the dimensions? let x = width in cm = 15 cm 12cm + x = length in cm = 12 cm + 15 cm p= 84 cm = 27 cm formula : P = 2l + 2w 84 cm = 2 ( 12cm + x ) + 2x 84 cm = 24 cm + 2x + 2x 84 cm 24 cm = 4x 60 cm / 4 = x 15 cm = x width length

4. The perimeter of a rectangle is 20 cm. If 2 cm is taken form the width, the decrease in the original will be numerically equal to 3 times the original width. What are the dimensions?
