we know that
The area of a rectangle is equal to
where
L is the length side of the rectangle
W is the width side of the rectangle
The perimeter of the rectangle is equal to
Step
Find the dimensions of the rectangles
we know that
the distance between two points is equal to the formula
Find the distance A-F
A-F is the width of the rectangles ABEF and ACDF
substitute the values in the formula
so
Find the distance F-E
F-E is the length side of the rectangle ABEF
substitute the values in the formula
Find the distance F-D
F-D is the length side of the rectangle ACDF
substitute the values in the formula
Step
the dimensions of the rectangle ABEF are
Find the area of the rectangle ABEF
Step
the dimensions of the rectangle ACDF are
Find the area of the rectangle ACDF
Step
The ratio of the area of rectangle ABEF to the area of rectangle ACDF is
Step
Find the perimeter of the rectangle BCDE
we know that
the length of the rectangle BCDE is equal to the distance E-D
therefore
the answer part a) is
the answer part b) is
the area of the rectangle ABEF is
the answer part c) is
the area of the rectangle ACDF is
the answer Part d) is
the perimeter of the rectangle BCDE is
