hey math genius can anyone help me out with these questions.. I will mark you brainlist if your answer is correct..
please:):):)

a) Because it is an equilateral triangle, all the sides must have equal lengths.
The perimeter = 24cm -> Each side = 8.
Area = 1/2 b.h = 8.8.1/2 = 32 cm2.
b) A square has all of its sides of equal lengths just like an equilateral triangle.
The perimeter = 24cm -> Each side = 6.
Area = side.side = 6.6 = 36 cm2.
c) Since they have equal perimeters and the same properties (all sides equal) BUT they have different number of sides and lengths, they won't have the same areas.
d) A rectangle. E.g :
A set of lengths of 5cm and 7cm makes a rectangle with a perimeter of 24cm : (5+7).2
But, its area equals 5 x 7 = 35cm2, which is greater than the triangle.
Answer:
a) 27.71 cm²
b) 36 cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
a) Perimeter of equilateral triangle = 3a
Here, a is the side of equilateral triangle.
Perimeter of equilateral triangle = 24 cm
3a = 24 cm
a = 24 ÷ 3
a = 8 cm
[tex]\sf Area \ of \ equilateral \ traingle = \dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{4}a^2[/tex]
[tex]\sf = \dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{4}*8*8\\\\ = 1.732*2*8\\\\ = 27.71 \ cm^2[/tex]
b) Perimeter of square = 4s
Here, s is the side of square.
Perimeter of square = 24 cm
4s = 24
s = 24 ÷ 4
s = 6 cm
Area of square = s*s
= 6 * 6
= 36 cm²
c) When the dimensions (length, width, height) of the shape changes, the area and volume changes.
d) Length of the rectangle is 10 cm and width is 2 cm.
Perimeter of rectangle = 2*length + 2* width
= 2*10 + 2*2
= 20 + 4
= 24 cm
Area of perimeter of rectangle = length *width
= 10 * 2
= 20 cm²
