Answer:
- area 170 in²
- perimeter 78 in
Step-by-step explanation:
The Pythagorean theorem tells you the long side (x) of the rectangle is found from ...
5² + x² = 34.37²
25 + x² = 1181
x = √(1181 -25) = 34
The rectangle is 5 inches wide and 34 inches long.
The area is the product of the length and width:
area = (34 in)(5 in) = 170 in²
The perimeter is twice the sum of length and width:
perimeter = 2(34 in + 5 in) = 78 in
