Answer:
The area of the rectangle = 50 cm^2.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the shortest side of the rectangle be x cm.
Perimeter of the rectangle is:
2x + 2(x + 5).
Perimeter of the triangle = 3 * 2x.
As they have the same perimeter:
2x + 2(x + 5) = 3*2x
2x + 2x + 10 = 6x
6x - 2x - 2x = 10
2x = 10
x = 5 cm.
So the area of the rectangle = x(x + 5)
= 5 * 10
= 50 cm^2.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The question lacks appropriate diagram. Find the diagram attached.
Slope is the change in coordinate of the y coordinate to the x coordinate.
Mathematically, slope m = ∆y/∆x
From the diagram ∆y is the same as 3 (along the vertical) while ∆x is the same as 1 (along the horizontal)
m = ∆y/∆x = 3/1
∆y/∆x = 3/1
y/x = 3/1
Cross multiply
y × 1 = 3 × x
y = 3x
Hence the slope of the line is y = 3x
