Perimeter of Composite Figures

Question 7 • EAP-Algebra Functions and Data Analysis B

The perimeter of a rectangle is 120 centimeters. The base is 3 times the height. What are the dimensions of the rectangle?

Answer
A
h = 9cm, b = 18 cm
B
h = 19 cm, b = 57 cm
C
h = 15 cm, b = 45 cm
D
h = 10 cm, b = 15 cm

Explanation

The perimeter is 2(base + height) = 120, so the base and height add to 60. Since the base is 3 times the height, 3h + h = 60, giving h = 15 cm and base = 45 cm. The matching choice is h = 15 cm, b = 45 cm.
