given the area of the triangle exceeding the area of the rectangle by 39cm². compute the perimeter of the two diagrams.

Answer:
Perimeter or square = 12cm
Perimeter of triangle = 32cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the rectangle's length and breadth are equal, it must be a square.
So,
area of the triangle = area of square
(1/2) × base × height = 39 + length ^ 2
(1/2) × 4y × ( y + 5 ) = 39 + y^2
(1/2) ( 4y^2 + 20y ) = 39 + y^2
2y^2 + 10y = 39 + y^2
y^2 + 10y - 39 = 0
y^2 - 3y + 13y - 39 = 0
y( y - 3 ) + 13( y - 3 ) = 0
( y - 3 ) ( y + 13 ) = 0
So, y = 3.
Now,
Perimeter or square = 4 × length
= 4 × 3
= 12 cm
Calculate side of a triangle by using Pythagoras theorem.
Perimeter of triangle = 2 × sides + 4y
= 2 × 10 + 4 × 3
= 32 cm
