解析
- A rectangle has perimeter 10 and diagonal 15. What is its area? Solution: 5 √ √ 2 2 If the sides are x and y , we have 2 x + 2 y = 10, so x + y = 5, and x + y = 15, so 2 2 2 2 x + y = 15. Squaring the first equation gives x + 2 xy + y = 25, and subtracting the second equation gives 2 xy = 10, so the area is xy = 5.
