Shown below is rectangle EFGH . Its diagonals meet at Y .
Let X be the foot if an altitude is dropped from E to line FH . If
EX=24 and GY = 25, find the perimeter of rectangle .

Let EH = x Let EF = y Let EY=HY = 25 Let HF = 50 

 

1.

EY2=EX2+XY2|XY=HYH=25HX252=242+(25HX)2252242=(25HX)2252242=25HXHX=25252242HX=257HX=18

 

2.

x2=242+HX2|HX=18x2=242+182x=242+182x=30

 

3.

x2+y2=HF2|x=30, HF=50302+y2=502y2=502302y=502302y=40

 

The perimeter of rectangle:

2x+2y=230+240=60+80=140

 

The perimeter of rectangle is 140
