Perimeter and area

Algebra Level 3

If the diagonal and area of a rectangle are 25 m 25\space m and 168 m 2 168\space m^2 , find the length and breadth of the rectangle.

Enter your answer as the sum of the number of factors of the length and the number of factors of the breadth.


The answer is 10.

D i a g o n a l = l 2 + b 2 , a r e a = l b . Diagonal\space =\space \sqrt{l^2+b^2},\space area=lb.

l 2 + b 2 = 25 l 2 + b 2 = 625.... 1 \sqrt{l^2+b^2}=25\space \Rightarrow\space l^2+b^2=625....\boxed{1}

l b = 168 2 l b = 336... 2 lb=168\space \Rightarrow\space 2lb=336...\boxed{2}

Adding 1 \boxed{1} and 2 \boxed{2} , we get: l 2 + b 2 + 2 l b = 625 + 336 = 961 l + b = 961 = 31.... 3 l^2+b^2+2lb=625+336=961\Rightarrow\space l+b=\sqrt{961}=31....\boxed{3} Subtracting 1 \boxed{1} and 2 \boxed{2} , we get: l 2 + b 2 2 l b = 625 336 = 289 l b = 289 = 17.... 4 l^2+b^2-2lb=625-336=289\Rightarrow\space l-b=\sqrt{289}=17....\boxed{4} From the system of equations 3 a n d 4 , \boxed{3}\space and\space \boxed{4}, we get: l = 24 and b = 7 l=24\space \text{and}\space b=7 The rest is left to the reader.
