  1. Step-by-step explanation:

    Given :

    The perimeter of a rectangle is 84 cm.If the area of the square formed on the diagonal of the rectangle as its side is 1(1/12)% more than the area of the rectangle.

    To find:

    Find the shorter side of the rectangle.?

    Solution:

    Let the sides of the rectangle be l cm and b cm

    Given that

    The perimeter of the rectangle =84 cm

    => 2(l+b) = 84

    =>l+b = 84/2

    => l + b = 42 ——–(1)

    l = 42-b ———–(2)

    We know that

    Length of the diagonal of the given rectangle

    = √(l^2+b^2) cm ——-(3)

    Area of the rectangle = lb sq.cm

    Given that

    The area of the square formed on the diagonal of the rectangle as its side

    Area of a square = side^2 sq.units

    (Since side = Diagonal )

    Area of the square formed on the diagonal of the rectangle

    =[√l^2+b^2]^2

    = l^2+b^2 sq.cm ———-(4)

    Given that

    The area of the square formed on the diagonal of the rectangle as its side is 1(1/12)% more than the area of the rectangle

    =>l^2+b^2 = lb+1(1/12) of lb

    =>l^2+b^2 = lb+(13/12) of lb

    =>l^2+b^2= lb[1+(13/12) ]

    =>l^2+b^2 = lb[ (12+13)/12]

    =>l^2+b^2=25/12 lb

    => 12(l^2+b^2) = 25lb

    => 12[(l+b)^2-2lb] = 25 lb

    (Since (a+b)^2-2ab = a^2+b^2)

    => 12(l+b)^2-24lb = 25 lb

    => 12(l+b)^2 = 25lb+24lb

    => 12(l+b)^2 = 49lb

    => 12(42)^2 = 49lb

    => 12(1764) = 49 lb

    => 21168 = 49 lb

    => lb = 21168/49

    => lb = 432 ———–(5)

    => b(42-b) = 432

    => 42b -b^2 =432

    => -b^2+42b-432 = 0

    => b^2-42b+432 = 0

    =>b^2-18b-24b+432=0

    => b(b-18)-24(b-18) = 0

    => (b-18)(b-24) = 0

    => b-18=0 or b-24 = 0

    => b = 18 or b= 24

    The longest side = 24 cm

    Shorter side = 18 cm

    Answer:

    The shorter side of the rectangle for the given problem is 18 cm

    Used formulae:

    • Area of a rectangle = lb sq.units
    • Diagonal of a rectangle =√(l^2+b^2) units
    • Area of a square = a^2 sq.units
    • a = Side of the square
    • l= length of a rectangle
    • b= breadth of a rectangle
    • Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(l+b) units
    • (a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2
