Rectangle Properties and Equations

The video tutorial explains how to solve a rectangle problem by using relationships between length, width, perimeter, and area. It demonstrates how to set up and solve equations for both perimeter and area, emphasizing the importance of understanding the problem's underlying structure. The tutorial also highlights the need to consider the context of solutions, such as the impossibility of negative lengths.

What is the relationship between the length and width of the rectangle?

• The length is equal to the width.

• The length is four times the width.

• The length is three times the width.

• The length is twice the width.

Why is it beneficial to use fewer variables when solving mathematical problems?

• It makes the problem more complex.

• It simplifies calculations and reduces errors.

• It makes the problem unsolvable.

• It increases the number of equations needed.

How many times does the width appear in the perimeter equation for the rectangle?

• 8 times

• 6 times

• 10 times

• 12 times

What is the width of the rectangle if the perimeter is 250 cm?

• 30 cm

• 35 cm

• 25 cm

• 20 cm

If the perimeter is 250 cm, what is the length of the rectangle?

• 80 cm

• 110 cm

• 90 cm

• 100 cm

What changes in the problem when the area is considered instead of the perimeter?

• The width becomes twice the length.

• The length becomes twice the width.

• A quadratic equation is formed.

• The perimeter is halved.

What is the equation for the area of the rectangle in terms of width?

• 4w^2 = 250

• w^2 = 250

• 4w^2 = 100

• w^2 = 100

Why is only the positive solution of the quadratic equation considered valid?

• Because negative solutions are not allowed in mathematics.

• Because the problem specifies a positive solution.

• Because length cannot be negative.

• Because the equation only has one solution.

What is the width of the rectangle if the area is 100 square centimeters?

• 15 cm

• 20 cm

• 10 cm

• 5 cm

What is the length of the rectangle if the area is 100 square centimeters?

• 20 cm

• 50 cm

• 40 cm

• 30 cm
