Question # 2
The length of a rectangle is 4 times its width. The perimeter of the rectangle is 150 cm. Find the dimensions of the rectangle.

Solution
Let the width of the rectangle be x m and length be y m

According to first condition

Y = 4x 0 = 4x y 4x y = 0 (i)

According to second condition

Perimeter = 150 cm 2(L +W) = 150 2 ( y + x) = 150 x+y= x + y = 75

Matrix Inversion Method

4x y = 0 x + y = 75 =

Question # 3
Two sides of a rectangle differ by 3.5 cm. Find the dimensions of the rectangle if its perimeter is 67 cm.

Solution
Let the length of the rectangle be x m and width be y m

According to first condition

x y = 3.5 cm

Question # 4
The third angle of an Isosceles is 16 o less than the sum of two equal angles. Find three angles of the triangle.

Solution
Let each equal angle be xo and third angle be yo

According to given condition

y = 2x 16 16 = 2x y 2x y = 16 and x + x + y = 1800 2x + y = 180

Matrix Inversion Method

2x y = 16 2x + y = 180 =

Solution
Let the two acute angles be xo and yo

According to the given condition

x = 2y + 12

Question # 6
Two cars that are 600km apart are moving towards each other. Their speeds differ by 6 km per hour and the cars are 123 km apart after4 hours. Find the speed of each car.

Solution
Let the speed of two cars be x kmh-1 and y kmh-1

According to the first condition

xy=6

According to the first condition

x + y = 477

(x + y) = 477
x + y = 477

x + y = 477
x + y = 106
