A rectangle has an area of 48 cm2 and a perimeter of 38 cm. What are the dimensions of the rectangle?

The dimensions of the rectangle will be 3 cm. and 16 cm..

Solution.

First, calculating the area of the rectangle, based on these dimensions,

Formula for the area of a rectangle:

A=LW

A=(3)(16), or A=(16)(3)

A=48 cm^2 ✔

So, now we know that these dimensions satisfy the area of the rectangle, but do they satisfy the perimeter of the rectangle?

Now, calculating the perimeter of the rectangle, based on these dimensions,

Formula for the perimeter of a rectangle:

P=2(L+W)

P=2(3+16), or 2(16+3)

P=2(19)

P=38 cm ✔

Now, we know that both of these dimensions satisfy both of the given conditions. So, the final answer is that the two dimensions of the rectangle are 3 cm. and 16 cm.. I hope that this answer helped you.

answer: 1722

step-by-step explanation:

given: the mass of saturn=

the mass of mercury=

the number of times the mass of saturn is greater than the mass of mercury

hence, the mass of saturn is 1722 times greater than the mass of mercury.
