Assessment No. 8

A. Solve for the indicated quantity. (20 points)

1. The perimeter of a rectangle is 52. Its length is two more than twice the measures
of its width. Find its dimensions.
Solution:

Perimeter of rectangle = 2(l+b)

let width be x

So, length will be 2 + 2x

Perimeter of rectangle = 2(2+2x+x)

52 = 2 (2 +3x)

52 = 4+6x

6x = 52 - 4

x= 48÷6

x=8 units

So, width = 8 units and

length = 2+(2×8) = 18 units

2. An isosceles trapezoid whose shorter base measures 12, a leg measures

10 and the base angles 30°.
 3. A square whose diagonal measures 10 √2.
Given:

Diagonal of a square measures 10√2

To Find:

Perimeter of the square

Solution:

Let each side of the square measure be s:

A right triangle is formed including the diagonal.

According to Pythagoras theorem,

H² = B² + P²

⇒ (10√2) ² = s² + s²

⇒ (10x10x√2x√2) = 2s²

⇒ 200 = 2s²

∴ s² = (200/2) = 100

⇒ s = √100 = 10 So, each side of the square is 10

Perimeter of square = 4 x side

⇒ P = (4 x 10) = 40 Hence, the perimeter of given square is 40

 4. A rectangle whose consecutive sides have a ratio of 3:4 and its diagonal
measures 10.
Given:
ratio 3:4
d = 10 units

Solution: Find first the sides of rectangle Perimeter of rectangle

(3x) ² + (4x) ² = d² w = 3x = 3(2) = 6

(3x) ² + (4x) ² = 10² l = 4x = 4 (2) = 8
9x² + 16x² = 100 p = 2l + 2w

p = 2(8) + 2(6)
√𝑥 2 = √4 p = 28 units

Given:

h = 10 units
𝟏𝟎
b= 𝟐 =5

Solution:
𝐛.𝐡
A= 𝟐
𝟓(𝟏𝟎)
A=
𝟐
𝟓𝟎
A= 𝟐
A = 25 sq. units, hence 25x2 = 50 sq. units
A = 50 sq. units

2. If the median of a trapezoid is 10 units and its height is 5 units, what is the area of
the trapezoid?
Given:
𝟏
median (𝟐 the sum of two bases) = 10 units so, the sum of two bases is = 20 units

h = 5 units
Solution:
𝐡
A = 𝟐 (𝒃𝟏+ 𝒃𝟐)
 𝟓
A = 𝟐 (20)
𝟏𝟎𝟎
A=
𝟐
A = 50 sq. units

3. Find the area of an isosceles trapezoid whose bases measure 10 and 22, and the
legs have a length of 10.
 C. Essay (15 points)
1. Reflect on how we can apply the concept of area and perimeter in real-life
situations in 100 words.
REFLECTION:
The concepts of area and perimeter permeate our lives. In everyday life area and
perimeter are used constantly. For example, describing the size of a house by talking about its
floor area, or for working out how much wire is needed to fence off a field. Floor covering, like
carpets and tiles, require area measurements. Wallpaper and paint also call for area
measurements. Fabric used for clothing and other items also demand that length and width be
considered. Also, we find the perimeter when putting up Christmas lights around the house,
finding the length of the soccer field and many more.
